PRODUCTION / REALIZATION TECHNOLOGY: Sustainability of the design, only keep the roof and structure of old house, removed 3 beams and added 10 vertical beams. For sitting-room the distance between the load-bearing column is only 3.5m wide, so the whole building framework in the direction to the garden parallel moved 1.5m. By building facade, use "BOX" as the basis for design elements, flattening the sloping roofs and change to the balcony with larger floor-to-ceiling windows, change the eaves into overhanging type and divided into useful for terrace and awning, hide all frames (windows and door), lights, pipe wells, drains, etc. Through the analysis, cutting, trade-offs, restructuring of the structure and facade for the building to give old house new life.

RESEARCH ABSTRACT: For building facade, focus on single point of light produced by the 3D light and shadow that to enhance building external wall of light generated by the contrast effect. Different angles of the Jasso-white marble for stereoscopic pattern of spelling flower become the protagonist of the sitting-room and is also the difficult point in construction, marble Yang Angle of seam must be seam to seam and diagonal to the diagonal, the error cannot be more than 0.5mm. Add for elevator core barrel is not only has building structure also has construction technology of requirement and so on.
CHALLENGE: As the old house itself has the space and building structure is unreasonable, these unreasonable is a great challenge of designer, such as: the fragile structure(brick concrete),exposed pipe (storm sewer and pipe wells),indoor function division is unreasonable, the distance between sitting-room beams is too narrow, the window is too small and daylighting is very poor, store content function limit, and need to add an elevator(convenient to the aged up and down the stairs)and so on, these ensuing problems are challenges for the designer.
