架构师提供的文本描述。Szki建筑师在日本设计了花园Shirowa。它在主建筑旁边建了一个附属建筑，他们的父母就住在同一块房子的旁边。2011年日本地震后，由于该地区可供选择的住房数量有限，而且每一地段的价格都很昂贵，以满足人们的需求。

Text description provided by the architects. Szki architects designed GardenHouse Shirowa in Japan. It's built an annex right next to the main building where their parents live in side of the same housing lot. Because limited amount of housing lots are available in the area and price of each lot is expensive upon the people’s needs after Japan’s earthquake in 2011.

为了在将阳光照射到主楼的同时，尽量利用南侧的院子，在工地的南边建造了附属建筑，并将其埋在地下，使地面高度降到最低。在这幢房子扩建工程中，附件的设计是为了连接主建筑西侧的两个房间，这两个房间已经很长时间没有使用了，而且家庭也可以从阳台上进入两个房间。屋顶也被设计成一个新的花园。

In order to utilize of the yard on the south side compactly while letting the sunshine to the main building, the annex was built on the south edge of the site and buried under the ground and minimize the floor height. On this house extending project, the annex was designed to connect to the two rooms in the western side of the main building which were not in use for a long time also the family can be access two from the balcony. Also the rooftop was designed to create a new garden.
