上海建筑师俞挺率领他的团队精彩漂亮的完成了一座水塔住宅的改造，给上海里弄那烟火人气的生活带去一星烂漫的璀璨。水塔从鳞次栉比挤挤挨挨的壮观弄堂屋瓦中高耸而出，怀揣梦想，端着态度，向这个东方巴黎之城彰显自己的平凡与不凡。

新一季《梦想改造家》项目是金陵东路的一处旧式里弄里孤独矗立着一座水塔住宅。

最早的塔楼是一个约4m见方的筒子楼存水用。水塔底部架空，是小区主要的通道。文革之后， 为解决民生，被改造成民用住房。底层加建柱子并使楼上楼层往南扩建。从此8根立柱撑起上方四层空间，每一层是一户独立人家。

The new episode Dream Home Renovation (season two) produced by Shanghai Oriental TV Station is a renovation project of a residential water tower on East Jinling Rd. The tower used to be a tube-like building for storing water, with elevations no wider than 4 meter. Under the tower is the main channel for the residents of the housing estate. After the Cultural Revolution, the tower is transformed into a civilian house to improve the residents’ livelihood. Columns are built up on the ground floor so that the upper floors can be extended southward. Since then, the eight columns have supported the four families living above, each family occupying a floor.

改造

－reorganize space, reorganize function－

水塔上的家，住着爷奶二人与孙女，改造后最大的心愿是儿子儿媳也同住在此。上海老城厢上空的家，39平承纳着一家人衣、住、吃、行的所有内容。

东方卫视《梦想改造家》第二季第一期，首次由建筑师而非室内设计师担当主创。建筑师的参与很好的应和了水塔之家的特殊性。这次改造一定不是一次室内装修的升级，而是对原来无序混乱的居住功能和空间重新组织规划。

设计师在原有的两层空间中增加了一个夹层，看似挤压了原有空间，但是因为这个错层每个不同功能的房间实际上变的疏离。从一个房间到另一个房间都要经过一段不短的“跋涉”。

In the water tower home lived the grandparents and their granddaughter. Their biggest hope is that the son and daughter-in-law can also live here after the renovation. Clothing, housing, food and transportation, all basic necessities are contained in this 39-square-meter-space.

It is the first time that an architect, instead of an interior designer, is in charge of the design for the first episode Dream Home Renovation. This reform is not  a simple upgrade of the interior decoration, but more importantly, a reorganization of the original disorder of the living function and a redistribution of the space.

The architect added a mezzanine to the original two floors. Seemingly the space is squeezed, but because of the split level, rooms with different function actually become alienated, creating longer “journey” between each space.

“挤压”，即这个错层的建立，让原本聚集一起没有隐私的空间打散成一个个独立的空间。每个房间的私密性得到了保证。但这还不够，建筑师希望有在不同房间之间“跋涉”过程中，能有室内室外空间交替的感觉，并对此做了强化。比如楼道中的红枫叶墙，结合红枫叶墙设计的天窗，天窗下正对的鱼缸以及儿童房的凸窗⋯都让人感觉你并不是居住在一个密闭的室内，而是居住在由室外环境串联起的一个个小的房屋里面。

“Squeeze”, namely the establishment of the split level, breaks the original gathered space into scattered individual space, Meanwhile, privacy is guaranteed in each individual space. But this is not enough, the architect wants to create “journey” between different rooms, and enhance the experience of the transaction between “indoor” and “outdoor” space within the house. For example, the corridor with red maple leaf wall, is a combination of the interior façade design with skylight facing the aquarium and bay window of the children’s room. It produces a sense of living in a series of small houses connected by outdoor environment, instead of living in a closed chamber.

时间

－自洽的风景－
-A scene of self-consistency-

户主曾经想在坡屋增加一个屋顶花园，出于安全和未来不确定因素的考虑。最终他看到的是一个在阳台上的垂直花园。外立面适当的改建体也是设计师一种态度的体现，即便是改变一个微小的个体，也要作出对负面城市空间的一种积极回应。

The owner wanted to have a roof garden on the sloped roof. However a vertical garden was placed on the balcony instead, considering the safety problem and uncertainty of the future. The proper reconstruction of the outer facade is also a kind of attitude of the designer. Even if it is to change a small individual, a positive response is still necessary for the negative urban space.

把梦想、改造两个词和家联系在一起，是一件美好的事情——怀着浪漫的梦，又通过双手艰苦的劳动，营建属于自己精神和物质的居所。 电视媒介关注的未必是设计的想法和这中间的努力，这也是一次经验。

It is beautiful to combine words dream and renovation with home – building your spiritual and physical habitation, with a romantic dream and through your own hard work. What the television media focus on may not be the concept or the enthusiasm of the design, it is also a valued experience.

水塔新生，一个桃花源，关起门来自由自在。

The revived water tower, is like utopia
Once you close the door, freedom is at hand.
