此案為工作室與家具展售結合的複合空間，位於高雄市左營區，原為舊街屋群的其中一間，屋齡約36年，保有約60年代流行的錯層結構，以及復古而溫潤的外型，但隨著居住者空間的需求，房子曾被加蓋鐵皮、鐵窗。

此建物的1樓為11坪，基地門面窄，建築外皮致使室內光線虛弱，蒙蔽了原本房子的美好模樣。我們捨棄了內部的樓梯、外觀立面的鐵窗，以及1樓後側增建的鐵皮廚房，重新整理，主要透過增設外梯、鑿天井，為找回老房子理出它的造型與氣韻。

此空間定位為工作室與日式家具展售的複合空間，但原空間錯層所分佈的3個房間，皆為實牆隔間，且受內梯阻擋，使得空間各自獨立，呈碎裂狀。我們先拆除錯層隔間的實牆，將內梯移至戶外，爭取更多室內坪數，也讓鑿天井後的天光可澆灌到各個樓面。透過玻璃材質運用，縱向展開空間尺度，讓光在空間中流動，提高互動性，使每個小空間可彼此對話。此外，為了凸顯街屋美麗的特徵，如2樓窗型的圓形導角，我們以白色為基調，並以此打造家具展售空間之純粹佈景。

至於外梯設計，則是改造後通往各樓面的唯一途徑，為了創造不一樣的行走經驗，我們以斜面設計2樓落地窗，讓外梯通往2樓戶外時，可踩踏於三角平台，也創造較活潑的立面。透過外梯所串起的路徑，讓使用者在空間裡「鑽來鑽去」，徜徉在每個「盒子」裡互相探索的樂趣。

This project is a multipurpose space that combines a studio and exhibition space featuring furniture for sale. The property, a unit in a row of old townhouses, is located in Kaohsiung City's Zuoying District. The 36 year-old house has a retro, warm and inviting exterior and retains the split-level floor plan popular in the 1960s. Past occupants have made additions according to their needs, including a sheet metal shack and windows with iron grating.

The first floor of the building is 11 ping (approximately 36 square meters). It has a narrow facade and hence the interior does not let in a lot of light, obscuring the building's original beautiful exterior. We removed the interior staircase, the iron grated windows facing the street and the sheet metal shack (which was a kitchen) added to the back of the first floor. We spruced the space up by adding exterior stairs and a courtyard, in order to let the old house regain its original style and charm.

The space was originally designated as a studio and exhibition space for Japanese furniture, but because of the floor plan, the building's three rooms were all separated by solid walls and blocked by staircases. The entire space was fragmented and incoherent. First, we removed the solid walls separating the staggered floors and moved the stairs outdoors to expand the interior space of the structure so that light from the courtyard can enter. We expanded the space by using glass which allows light to penetrate freely, thus improving interactivity. Now, each space can interact with their neighbors. In order to highlight the beautiful characteristics of the townhouse, such as the circular chamfer of the windows, we used the color white as our base to create a clean, uncluttered space for exhibiting furniture.

As for the stairs, they are now the only thing connecting the individual floors. In order to add something new to climbing up and down stairs, we added a slant to the French windows on the second floor so that people will step on a triangular platform when they move outside via the exterior stairs. This also creates a livelier facade. The path through the house is strung together by the exterior stairs so occupants and visitors weave in and out, enjoying the excitement of exploring all the various boxed spaces.
