架构师提供的文本描述。沿着一条美都济大街走到有中高层住宅和商业建筑的地区，突然出现了一个挤满了两层木屋的住宅区。民房位于这一地区，占地面积仅49.5平方米，开敞宽度4m，深度11m。在这种有限的条件下，客户首先需要四口之家宽敞的客厅，然后是私人房间、足够的储藏室和屋顶。为了丰富和提高生活方式，同时满足所有这些要求，本项目的重点是每个房间之间的规模差异。

Text description provided by the architects. Walking down a Midosuji main street to the area with mid-to-high-rise residential and commercial buildings, suddenly a residential area filled densely with two storey wooden houses appeared. YMT-house is located in this area and measures just 49.5 square meter with 4m open width and 11m depth. In this limited condition, the client firstly required spacious living room for family of four, and then private rooms, enough storage, and the rooftop. To enrich and enhance life style while meeting all these requirements, the project focuses on the scale difference between each room.

浴室位于一楼，起居室在一楼以上。起居室与起居室的高度差约为1.4m，一楼的厨房空间与起居室的高度相差约1.4m，逐渐将一个LDK空间划分为两个独立的空间。房间中间的阶梯式楼层，创造了多样的景观，可作为儿童的游乐场或多功能活动空间，给日常生活带来兴奋。在ldk上方的一间床房只有三张带储藏室的纹身垫，儿童房大约有四张带家具的桌子和两张床的纹身垫。为了尽量减少每一个私人房间，通过提供垂直存储，使创建宽敞的LDK特色开放式天花板，家庭聚集。

Bathroom is located on the ground floor and the living room is on the first and above floor. There is about 1.4m height difference between living room and dinging and kitchen space on the first floor which gradually divide one LDK into two separate space. Step-wise floor in the middle of the room create variety of sight view and it can be used as playground or multi-functional activity space for kids bringing excitement in daily life. A bed room above LDK is just three tatami-mat with storage, and kids’ room is about four tatami-mat with furnished desks and beds for two. To minimizing each private room by furnishing vertical storage enable create spacious LDK features open ceiling, where family gathered.

床房间的上半部分是一个组合存储和书房，其余的空间为屋顶提供楼梯。代替具有扶手，延伸的壁产生封闭的空间，其在从其他人的视线关闭的同时促进平滑的视觉轴线到天空。作为第二客厅，该室外空间可用于各种活动，如烧烤或为儿童设置可充气游泳池。

Half of the upper part of the bed room is a combination storage and study room, the rest of space provide staircase to rooftop. Instead of having handrail, the extended wall creates enclosed space which promote smooth visual axis to the sky while shutting out from gaze of others. As a second living room, this outdoor space can be used for variety of activities such as BBQ or setting inflatable swimming pool for kids.

在房屋结构方面，没有走廊，但大部分房间都与楼梯直接相连。这楼梯不仅起到垂直移动的作用，而且还提供了阅读或休息的封闭空间。就像家具一样，起居室和其他私人房间，包括卧室、儿童房和自修室，都是用日本柏树做的，可以直接接触皮肤。在狭小的空间里体验建筑和家具之间的尺度差异，创造了视觉错觉，这有助于改变LDK和屋顶的感觉更宽敞。

Regarding to house structure, there is no corridor but most of the room are connected directly to the staircase. This staircase is not only functioned as a vertical moving line but also provide enclosed space for reading books or having a break. Like a furniture, step-wise floor at the living room and other private rooms including bed room, kids’ room, and study room are made with Japanese cypress where it could get direct contact with the skin. To experience the scale difference between architecture and furniture in the narrow space creates optical illusion, which help transform LDK and rooftop feel more spacious.

为了最大限度地利用空间，尽量减少空间，同时最大化客厅空间，这种尺度差异的经验为小型住宅的设计提供了新的可能性。

To make the most of the space by minimizing space as much as possible while maximizing the space for living room, and this scale difference experience suggests new possibility of small house design.
