在马德里市中心，设计师Matteo Ferrari和Carlota Gallo夫妇改造了一座名为“Casa Olivar”的小房子，作为他们的家。房屋在过去混乱破败的状态下焕然新生，设计师通过增加布局层次，为空间带来了新的生命力；同时也为重新书写历史，制造新的记忆创造了机会。

In the heart of the city of Madrid a small architecture called by its creators ‘Casa Olivar’ is born. The interior design has been conceived by the couple of designers Matteo Ferrari and Carlota Gallo in order to transform it into their home.Rescued from a ruined state and a turbulent past, the aim is to bring new life to the space; adding layers, rewriting its history and thereby generating new memories.

项目旨在打造一处不断变化的空间，以满足不同的阶段及需求。在此基础上，房屋在施工期间被改造成一处非典型的展览空间，供NoDo展览使用；这是一场无声的活动，活动方邀请了一批马德里当地设计师聚集在此处，在黑暗中思考光的来源与意义。

The project was conceptualized as a living object in continuous transformation, where various stages and uses can be accommodated. According to this scenario the site was transformed into an atypical exhibition space for NoDo during the construction period; a silent event which invited a select group of Madrid designers to reflect on how we conceive light from darkness and kept behind closed doors.

而将房屋转变为生活空间也是顺应情势的必然之选，通过改造，不仅帮助恢复了建筑原有的独特身份特征，并展现了一种新的表达，一个“非城市”的地方，一个可以隔绝外界喧嚣，帮助调节自身感官情绪，与自己重新建立对话的避风港。

The conversion to living space is spontaneous and essential, recovering those distinctive identity features of the architecture and providing a new narrative. A “non-urban” place, a sensorial refuge to reconnect with ourselves, regulate our emotions and disconnect from the hustle and bustle of the outside world.

通过对空间的干预，设计师将此处打造成了一座具有连续性、极简风格的温暖空间；同时，提升自然采光，并大量使用来自当地的工艺材料，让光和物质之间产生密切的对话。Casa Olivar既是一座房子，也是一个地方：一个可以发挥创造力的亲密空间，但最重要的是，一处可供享受与共享的空间。

The intervention is characterized by a spatial continuity and a warm minimalism; it seeks to elevate natural light and encourage the use of local craft materials, generating a close dialogue between light and materiality.Casa Olivar is both a house and a place: an intimate space where the creativity can evolve but above all, a space designed to be enjoyed and shared.
