项目要对一间位于马德里Arturo Soria街区的70平米复式公寓进行改造。最开始的住宅分为两层，一层有许多分区，包含门厅、厨房、客厅、餐厅、储藏室等日间功能；上层为私密空间，设有两间卧室和一间浴室。如何优化空间的利用是项目的主要挑战。为此，设计计划将一层的客厅和厨房连接在了一起，并增加一间厕所。
The project seeks to transform a 70m2 duplex located in the neighbourhood of Arturo Soria, Madrid. In origin the house was organized on two levels: a very compartmentalized ground floor which held the day areas: hall, kitchen, living room, pantry and storage spaces, and a private upper floor, with two bedrooms and a bathroom. The challenge of this intervention was to optimize the use of the space by connecting the living room and the kitchen while adding a toilet on the ground floor.

为了实现这个目标，设计师拆除隔墙，将技术元素、厕所和储藏间打包在一起，通过中部的桦木家具强调空间的连续性。家具中面向客厅一侧为书架，面向厨房一侧设置各类家电，是改造介入的主导。
To achieve this, we removed the partitions and pack the technical elements, toilet and storage spaces to articulate the resulting continuous space through a central birch element. This exempt piece, that holds bookshelves to the living room and appliances to the kitchen, becomes the lead of the intervention.

此外，设计还使用了另外两个策略以进一步加强内部空间的连贯性。中央的家具中藏有两扇滑门，可以用来分隔客厅和厨房。玻璃和桦木板形成透明的隔断，在划分主要空间的同时，保证空间的连续性不被丢失。设计还在地面上使用了不同的材料。客厅和厨房铺设连续的竹木地板，楼梯、浴室、洗衣房和餐厅则采用瓷砖铺面，强调出不同区域之间的过渡。
In addition, two other strategies are implemented to enhance the continuity of the domestic space. We hide in the central piece of furniture two sliding doors that allow us to divide the living room and the kitchen. These glass and birch panels maintain a transparent division in the main space of the house, without losing its continuity. Furthermore, we treat the materiality of the floor differently by linking the living room and the kitchen through a continuous bamboo flooring and using porcelain mate tiles on stairs, bathrooms, laundry and pantry to accentuate the transition between the different areas.

综上，设计将住宅的日区统一并连接在一起，以中部的桦木家具这一单独元素作为空间重点，借其强调了空间的流动性。
Thus, we unify and connect the day area of the house, accentuating its fluidity by articulating the space through a single element: the central birch piece of furniture.
