这位客户是一对年轻的双收入夫妇，他们希望在不久的将来有个孩子，但是他们目前正在追求自己的职业，因为他们的生活方式如此繁忙，他们需要在家里有一个放松的空间。

The client is a young double-income couple, who wish to have a child in near future, however, they are currently pursuing their careers.  Because of such busy lifestyle, they need a space to relax at home.

这套公寓有三扇面向南、北和东的窗户，这是东京中心非常优越的地方，因此我们想要尊重俯瞰城市景观和山的景观。富士，微风和自然光。然而，在同样的墙壁上，也有我们想要隐藏的东西，比如腰带、横梁和空调。

The apartment has three windows facing south, north and east, which is very privileged for central Tokyo, and thus we wanted to respect the view overlooking cityscape and Mt. Fuji, breeze and natural light. However, on the same walls, there were also items that we wanted to hide, such as sash, beams, and air conditioner.

于是，我们在现有的建筑里插上了一堵像窗帘的墙，制作了“铝制”，成为卧室和厨房等的空间。然后，我们在悬垂的墙上为剧院创造了像前场拱门这样的开口，每天在客厅里穿行到“酒精”。通过这样做，我们可以保持整个客厅的统一感，同时尊重卧室和厨房空间的无形性。

So we inserted a drape-like wall inside the existing building, and made "Alcove" which became spaces for a bedroom and kitchen etc. Then, we created openings like Proscenium arch for theater on the drape wall to dramatize everyday walking through the living room to the “Alcove”. By doing so, we could maintain a sense of unity as a whole living room while respecting indivisuality of bedroom and kitchen spaces.

“窗帘墙”的内侧是居住的中心，厨房、工作区、卧室和未来儿童的房间等必要的功能都在“家庭”中分配。透过悬垂墙的拱门，即使是杂货，也可以看作是戏中的道具，使生活丰富多彩。

Inner side of "drape wall" is the central place for living, and the necessary functions such as kitchen, workspace, bedroom and future child's room are allocated in the “Alcove”. Looking through the arches of the drape wall, even miscellaneous household goods can be seen as props in the play that makes life colorful.

从小拱门到整个舞台，每天的气氛都在传递，就好像舞台上表演的戏被传达到观众的座位上一样。窗户上的光线也会反射酒精的颜色。

Everyday vibes in the Alcove is transmitted from small arches to the whole, as if the play performed on the stage is conveyed to the audience seating. The light from the windows also spreads reflecting the color inside the alcohol.
