该复式小公寓面临着两个设计难点：一是要在有限空间里同时满足家庭工作室和居住空间的需求，二是巨大的玻璃幕墙正当西晒，室内整天高温不下。为了解决上述两个问题，设计师提出了三个附加项目，即GRID PARTITION（网格隔断），EXTENSION DECK（扩展甲板）和STEPPING SPACE（踏步空间）。
A major pain point of staying in 64 sq.m. of duplex condominium unit, which is used for a home-studio for an animator and an artist, is that there is not enough space for dwelling. Moreover, a double-volume space of living area with a huge glass curtain wall, faces West. High temperature occurs all day long, since it allows direct sunlight to come inside.
玻璃隔断不仅可以分隔厨房和生活空间，还可以减少空调的电费。扩展甲板有助于过滤来自阳光直射的热量。双层玻璃框架的网格可以用于放置物品。
A glass partition not only dividing space between kitchen and living but also helps reduce electricity charge from air-conditioning. Grid-like of double glass frame is for stuff and stationery hanging, as to serve the owners’ activities. Extension deck would help filtrating heat from direct sunlight, since an existing high glass facade facing West.
由于没有足够的收纳空间，设计师决定利用通往二楼卧室的楼梯上方的空间，再搭建一个楼梯。扩展平台和踏步空间还为空间增加了11平方米的空间。
An existing staircase for going up to the second-floor bedroom is added by a proposed space above since this condominium unit has no enough space for dwelling or storage. In order to utilize the space in a small condominium, creating another staircase above the existing one helps increase the space.The grid partition and the extension deck help ‘decrease’ the electrical charge, while the extension deck and the stepping space help ‘increase’ the space for 11 sq.m.
