屋前的埕，成為室內與屋外巷弄馬路間的緩衝場所。
我們在此保留很大部分的原貌：包含外牆不刻意擴大的開窗、埕上的水泥素地、環繞屋外的幾棵老樹、以及與鄰房的紅磚圍牆。
「埕」也是兒時生活的回憶。屋主在這個小時候住過的房子，替下一代複製人生最美好的記憶。
第一層「埕」是具體的留白，留給孩子們的純淨笑聲。在這裡，孩子能安心在埕上奔跑、在碎石上玩耍。
第二層「埕」，一體成型的屋頂雨遮及玄關踏階，成為動線上必要的短暫停留空間，可以在這裡穿鞋、在這裡陪伴碎石上玩耍的孩子緩緩感受時間。
外牆使用較低的彩度，不僅在外觀上與鄰近的房子相比不具突兀，也在光線經過樹葉之間之際，投射於入口牆面綺麗閃爍的光影。
配合石材黑白紋理，亦是由外望向內的一道風景。
The courtyard of the house becomes an in-between place from the interior to the streets outside.
We retained a large part of the original appearance: it includes the original size of the windows on the exterior wall, original concrete rafters, old trees surrounding the house, and the red brick fence surrounding the neighboring houses.
Cheng “埕” is also a memory of a childhood life. This house where the owner lived growing up gives the next generation the best part of one’s memories.
The first section Cheng “埕” is a specific space with plenty of room. It also represents children’s innocent laughters. Here, children can run around the courtyard and play on the gravel with ease.
The second section Cheng “埕”, the rain cover and the doorsteps. They become the necessary pathway for entry. The entrance is not only for putting your shoes, but it’s also to accompany the children to play on the gravel as long as they need.
The exterior wall uses a lower chroma, which is less obtrusive compare with the neighboring houses in appearance. It projected the sunshine and the shadow as the light passes between the leaves. With the black and white texture of the stones, it also creates a landscape from the outside looking in.
第三層「埕」，把最好的空間讓給孩子跟家人。
在室內平面配置上由於是階梯狀的條件，故捨棄一般的邏輯，將餐桌及工作區移至入口，接待外訪客人。
廚房及浴廁的實用空間放置於動線中段，以符合公私領域的使用路徑。
而連結公私區域的走道可將拉門拉上，客廳變成為孩子及私領域可使用的獨立空間。
在客廳的配置上，則以一張訂製的矮桌為中心。起心是將孩子視為這個空間的主人。此區域可以容納孩子的共學夥伴，有足夠讓他們活動的範圍。不需要電視，因為家人孩子們可以圍著矮桌聊天、看書、玩桌遊、做手作，矮桌也可因應不同需要拆為兩張小桌使用。
至於臥室，我們回歸最基本的需求及素材，使用玻璃的隔間讓客廳前院的風景及採光穿透整個屋內。使用時拉上窗簾，它亦退回一個安靜休息的場所。
因著替孩子留白的位置，澄澈本心、澄澈內在。讓孩子看到的每一道窗，都有不同的風景。
The third section Cheng “埕”, provides the best space to children and family.
Abandoning the typical interior layout and moving the dining table and work area to the entrance to welcome visiting guests.
The practical space of the kitchen and bathroom is placed in the center of the apartment to connect the public and private areas.
Furthermore, the walkway connecting the public and private areas has a sliding door, with the option of making the living room become an independent space that can be used for the children or to give it more privacy.
In the configuration of the living room, a customized and versatile low-table is placed in the center. The purpose is to treat children as the master of this space. This area can accommodate children and their peers. There is enough space for them to move. No TV is needed, because family and children can chat around the low-table, read books, play board games, and make arts and crafts. The low-table can also be split into two small tables as needed.
As for the bedroom, we return to the most basic necessities and materials. The glass partition allows the scenery and lighting of the front yard of the living room to penetrate through the entire space. When you close the curtains, it turns to a quiet resting place.
We want to respect children’s own heart and their inner spirit, so we leave behind some white space for them. Our hope is that through each window, children can see a different scenery every time.
