This is a SOHO built from the renovation and expansion of a small single-story
building. The original building is brick structure with slope roof. Now we take away
the old roof and change it into three stories by making use of original brick walls
and adding new light wooden structure walls. Since the surrounding environment is
relatively messy, we put wood workshop which is not so private on the first floor, and
lift the living functions on to the second floor from where the orchard and farmland
on the west can be seen. The third floor consists two lofts and an outdoor terrace.
The functions are organized as a series of platforms, from workshop on first floor,
then dining room, living room, kitchen on second floor, finally to loft and terrace on
third floor, spiraling up the two-story high atrium. The height differences between
the platforms are determined in a way that some of the terraces are floors as well as
big seats where people can sit leisurely to form a very casual atmosphere.
