該複式小公寓麵臨著兩個設計難點：一是要在有限空間裏同時滿足家庭工作室和居住空間的需求，二是巨大的玻璃幕牆正當西曬，室內整天高溫不下。為了解決上述兩個問題，設計師提出了三個附加項目，即GRID PARTITION（網格隔斷），EXTENSION DECK（擴展甲板）和STEPPING SPACE（踏步空間）。
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.
玻璃隔斷不僅可以分隔廚房和生活空間，還可以減少空調的電費。擴展甲板有助於過濾來自陽光直射的熱量。雙層玻璃框架的網格可以用於放置物品。
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.
由於沒有足夠的收納空間，設計師決定利用通往二樓臥室的樓梯上方的空間，再搭建一個樓梯。擴展平台和踏步空間還為空間增加了11平方米的空間。
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.
