减缩与扩展 Reduction and expansion

二楼顶部管路繁杂，因地压低了整体的高度，我们减缩一部分空间作为仓储，将部分增加管路隐藏其中。在不同区位墙面上增加不同大小的镜面，借此扩展空间，增加层次感，同时也满足了客人随拿随照的需求。休闲区桌椅的选择上，既可减缩成双人位也可扩展成十人位，适配多种人群的使用，大面积落地玻璃扩展了空间视野，也更好的纳入了天光，可随时感知时间的变化。

The pipeline on the top of the second floor is complex, and due to the ground pressure lowering the overall height, we have reduced a portion of the space for storage and hidden some additional pipelines. Adding mirrors of different sizes to walls in different locations expands the space, enhances the sense of hierarchy, and also meets the needs of customers for on-demand lighting. In terms of the selection of tables and chairs in the leisure area, it can be reduced to double or expanded to ten seats, suitable for various groups of people. The large area of floor to ceiling glass expands the spatial view and better incorporates skylight, allowing for real-time perception of changes in time.
