架构师提供的文本描述。K房位于日本前巴什市的郊区。周围有许多相似的房子，并创造了令人厌烦的景观。我们试图对景观做一些小的改变，就像在有限的场地区域创造一个新的环境来设计内部空间一样。

Text description provided by the architects. House K is sited in the suburbs of Maebashi city in Japan. There are many similar houses around the site and creating boring landscape. We tried to make small changes to landscape as same as designing inside spaces by making a new context in limited site area.

首先，我们把许多房间划分为“公共空间”和“私人空间”。然后我们把“私人空间”放在体积的北侧，把“公共空间”放在周围开放的南面。另外，为了连接两个不同的空间，我们在两者之间安排了“自由空间”。

First, we classified many rooms into “common spaces” and “private spaces”.  Then we put “private spaces” on north side of volume and “common spaces” on south side where the surrounding is open. In addition, to connect two different spaces, we arranged “free spaces” in between.

在“私人空间”中，我们把祖母的空间放在一楼，把一个年轻的家庭的空间放在二楼。在保持家庭隐私的同时，每个人也可以通过“自由空间”相互感觉到对方。

In “private spaces”, we put grandmother's spaces on the first floor and a young family's space on the second floor.  While keep privacy among families, everyone can also feel each other through “free spaces”.

另一方面，由于房子的南部有一些空隙，我们设计了“公共空间”作为非常开放的空间，通过建造大的中庭来连接外面。

On the other hand, because there are some voids around the south of house, we designed "common spaces" as very open space to connect outside by making big atrium.

此外，考虑到附近房屋和花园的位置，我们弯曲了建筑的南半部，以减少视线的交叉，并创建周围的三角形花园。在这种情况下，三角形花园比长方形花园更有深度。这是有可能创造空间的扩展，并使网站边界更加模糊。

Furthermore, consider the place of near houses and gardens, we bend south half of the building to reduce the cross of sight line and create triangular gardens around. Triangular gardens can make more depth than rectangular one in this case. And it is possible to create the spread of spaces and make site boundary more ambiguous.

“自由空间”可用于各种方式，如工作场所和画廊，支持“公共”和“私人”空间。这种灵活的空间可以使居民生活得更好。

“Free spaces” can be used in various ways such as workplace and gallery , support both "common" and "private" spaces. This flexible space can make inhabitants life better.

在这个没有大特色的住宅区里，我们希望这种建筑所创造的新景观将成为新的环境。

In this residential area without big features, we hope new landscape made by this architecture will become new context.
