架构师提供的文本描述。福冈是一个独特和充满活力的城市，拥有150万人口，而且还在继续增长。建筑工地位于住宅区，离市中心有三个火车站，目前正在建造10层高的住宅。房东要求在一个3 000平方米的场地的一个部分设计和建造一个出租建筑群。东边有一座小山，这是很长一段时间以来的生活区，因为这里已经挖掘出了古老的民居。

Text description provided by the architects. Fukuoka is a unique and vibrant city with a population of 1.5 million and is continuing to grow. The building site is located in a residential area and is three train stations away from the city-center, an area that is currently building 10-story high residences. The landlord requested the design and building of a rental complex in one section of a 3,000 m²site. A small hill opens toward the east; this has been a living area for a long time as ancient dwellings have been excavated here.

房东有一个梦想，看着网站成长为一个郁郁葱葱的地方居住。我们的计划是在未来几十年逐步培育绿色植物，这样这个住宅周围就会有一个丰富的自然环境，即使在2050年，这一景观仍将被人们所欣赏。附近的公寓是根据以前的设计方法建造的，似乎不太舒适。改变目前的经济、文化、社会甚至家庭结构似乎是不可能的，但也许所需要的只是一个非常简单的想法：“生活很舒适，每天都体验大自然。”

The landlord has a dream of watching the site grow into a lush and leafy place in which to live. The plan is to nurture the greenery gradually in the next decades, so that a rich natural environment will surround this residence and this landscape will still be enjoyed even in the year 2050. The nearby apartments have been built based upon previous approaches to design and appear to be less comfortable buildings in which to live. To change the current economic, cultural, social and even family structures may seem impossible, but perhaps all that is needed is a very simple idea: “It’s comfortable to live, experiencing nature every day.”

出租公寓楼是一座低矮的建筑，任何房间都可以感受到绿色植物。这是一种钢筋混凝土结构，3层楼高，每层2个单元，共6个单元。

The rental apartment complex is a low-rise building where greenery can be experienced from any room. It is a reinforced concrete structure, 3 stories in height with 2 units on each floor, 6 units in total.

第一，在地点的四个角落种有特色的树木，这是最适合阳光和风景的地方。即使在远处，樱花也是可见的，这将是该网站的亮点之一。佛罗里达州科努斯不受午后阳光的影响，并盛开粉红色的花朵，提供了一个五颜六色的春天。随着四季变化的枫树将加强入口处。泽尔科娃长大后会长大，足以将这座建筑庄严载入史册。

Firstly, distinctive trees are planted at the four corners of the site; this is the best part of site for sunlight and scenery. Sakura is visible even from a distance, and the view will be a highlight of the site. Cornus florida keeps out the late afternoon sun, and blooms pink flowers that provide a colorful springtime. A maple that changes with the four seasons will enhance the entrance approach. Zelkova will grow up large enough to enshrine the building.

建筑在树木之间编织，厨房、浴室和卫生间被布置在楼梯旁边，形成了服务核心。所有房间位于两个花园之间，使居民能够看到两边的树木。这座建筑被分成两块。在每一棵树的顶部，建筑物都被倒角，以便为树木生长的枝条提供空间。

The building weaves between the trees, and the kitchen, bath and toilet are allocated beside the stairs, making a service core. All rooms are situated between two gardens, enabling the inhabitants to see trees on either side. The building is segmented into two masses. Towards the top of each, the building is chamfered to provide space for the growing branches of the trees.

这个小而多样的生态系统，经过时间和培育，将成为一片根深蒂固的森林。这座建筑就像一座与大自然融为一体的建筑。建筑和森林结合在一起，人们的生活依偎在树上。共享一个丰富的绿色空间，将增强生活的丰富性。

This small yet diverse ecosystem, after time and nurturing, will become a deeply rooted forest. This architecture stands as if one with nature. The architecture and forest come together, and people's lives are nestled in the trees. Sharing a rich green space together will enhance the richness of living.
