天花板的高度逐渐变化，从起居室的2.63米，到位于最深处的日式茶室，只有1.67米。这个最低的天花板高度是以人的高度来定义的，其他三个点是在有限的现有结构中设计的尽可能高的。天花板的几何形状类似于壳体结构，它给人一种感觉，即使是在一个小住宅单元内，你的身体也会变得更大/更小。这个房子里的观点创造了身体延伸和收缩的感觉。

The ceiling height changes gradually, from 2.63m at the living and dining room, to only 1.67m at the Japanese-style tearoom located in the deepest area. This lowest ceiling height is defined by human heights, and other three points were designed as high as possible in the limited existing structure. The geometry of the ceiling resembles to that of shell structure, and it gives feelings, even within a small residential unit, that your body becomes bigger/smaller. The perspectives in this house create the perception of physical extension and contraction. 

圆形的灯光被放置在弯曲的天花板上.他们有不同的大小，从300毫米到1500毫米半径，并投间接光反射镜嵌入，创造了擦除天花板边缘的效果。它也让人感觉到你在天花板上还有另一个空间。

Round-shaped lightings are placed on the warping ceiling. They have all different sizes, from 300mm to 1500mm radius, and cast indirect lights reflected by the mirror embedded, creating the effect of erasing the ceiling edges. It also makes the feeling that you have another space above the ceiling.

天花板和灯光通常是人类感知的无意识部分。但这种小小的干预会增强你的身体知觉，从而丰富你的生活。

Ceilings and lightings are generally unconscious part of human perception. But this small intervention enhances your physical perception thus the richness of life.
