Appreciations towards XUE JIN for providing the following description:

此公寓所在居民楼位于中国重庆市的中心地段，建筑根据山势而建，是一栋非常难得的山城特色建筑。公寓过去的20多年被一个三口之家居住使用，新的屋主是一对年轻的夫妻，原有的布局无论在采光，通风还是功能上已经不能满足他们现今的生活需求。因此新的屋主希望能够将此公寓改造成一个在审美上功能上都更符合当代需求的新公寓。

The apartment, a unit in a 21 years old residential building sitting at the central section of Chongqing City, China. The building constructed on the mountain, respecting the original landform, is a typical precious local residence. It used to be the home of a couple with their only child in the past two decades. It is now owned by a young couple. Dissatisfied with the original layout, lighting and ventilation, the young couple wishes to have the apartment reconstructed so that it is to become more pleasant, comfortable and functional to meet their needs.

新公寓的改造主要需要关注的就是厨房与卫生间。屋主希望能够拥有一个更宽敞明亮的厨房，除了能够满足日常炊事的需求，更能够跟三五好友享受料理的乐趣。而卫生间方面，除了厕所以外，也希望能够有一个相对独立的浴室并配置一个单独的浴缸。老的卫生间和厨房面积都偏小，通风采光也达不到意向的要求，因此，厨房与厕所的扩大成为了必然。然而此居民楼房内几乎所有的墙体都是承重墙且不可拆除。因此全新的功能布局必须在不改变原始墙体结构的情况下进行设计，这无疑增加了改造的难度。整个设计的核心是在不拆除主要墙体的情况下，将厨房重新设置到一个新的空间内，并将厨房与其他功能空间共享成为一个更大的开放空间，让公寓更加宽敞，明亮以及舒适。而之前的厨房将改造成浴室，并将厕所和浴室相对的独立设计成2个部分。

For reconstruction of the apartment, it is required to focus on the kitchen and toilet. The owner wishes to have a brighter and more spacious kitchen, for daily cooking and enjoyment of preparing foods with friends there. As to toilet, the owner wishes to have a relatively independent bathroom with a bathtub provided. The original kitchen and toilet are small with unpleasant insufficiency of lighting. Therefore, it is of necessity to expand the kitchen and the toilet. However, since almost all the walls inside the residential building are load-bearing and cannot be dismantled, design of the new internal organization must be based on the existing wall structure. This undoubtedly adds to the difficulty in reconstruction. The core of design is to relocate the kitchen without dismantling main wall bodies, meanwhile the kitchen need to be combined with other functional areas to make the apartment of greater capaciousness, brightness and comfort. While the original kitchen area is to be transformed the bathroom. The toilet and bathroom are to be designed as two relatively independent parts.

改造后的公寓将会拥有两个相对私密的卧室，与一个共享，宽敞，多种功能融合的开放空间，希望通过此空间的开放性让使用者能够在平凡的日常活动中，通过消除更多的空间界限而拉近彼此的距离。另外，将固定的家具如沙发，书桌，柜子等组合成一个整体，并整合到同一面墙，尽可能的扩大活动空间，改善公寓原有的拥挤感。

The new apartment will have two relatively private bedrooms, and one shared open space that flexibly serves for multiple purposes. The open space so designed is to remove spatial limitation and make the occupants closer to each other while doing the normal daily activity there. Meanwhile, fixtures such as sofa, desk and cabinet are combined to form an entirety and set against the same wall, making the apartment appear luxurious with more room for activities.

如今，中国新建的高楼如雨后春笋般的出现，而老旧的房屋逐渐的被遗忘与淘汰，希望本案对于老公寓的改造提供一种参考，今后能有更多的设计师更好的发掘与发挥老房的改造价值。

Presently in China, high-rise buildings are coming into being like mushrooms after rain, while old buildings are gradually falling into oblivion. This case is intended to provide a reference for reconstruction of old apartments, in the hope that more designers will be dedicated to exploring and improve the reconstruction value of old apartments.
