The Chinese title of the book, literally means a livable house, is named after a house that artist Ki WONG found on the way. Every time she passes by the house, it inspires her to ponder what is so-called life. This book is the first in a series of three episodes of a biennial art project “A Living Space”, whose aim is to explore the intrinsic quality and possibility of life through a range of observation, exploration and research. Its initiatives will take various forms, such as works of art, publications, exhibitions, websites and public events – all linked by the same theme.

「可以居」本是藝術家黃淑琪在路上看到的一所大宅名稱，每次經過，它都引發她深刻思考何謂生活。故借其美名，以成為一個著重探索生活本質和可能的藝術計劃。這本書為該項目的首作。整項計劃分三期，每兩年一度，以地方為始，漸進觀察、探索、了解和研究，並以出版、藝術展覽、網頁或公眾活動為最終表現形式。有次因為好奇的驅使，她探入西貢海下白沙澳一群保存完好的客家村落，卻發現居住屋內的是一群外國人，富有歷史感的中式客家建築內，竟是英式的室內佈置，環境散發悠閒的生活感。本應是中國人生活的地方，竟由西方人居住而恢復生氣；強烈對比卻又巧妙地混合的生活，令她反思舊式傳統居住環境是否與現代生活矛盾，理想的生活又該當如何經營。
