架构师提供的文本描述。该遗址位于京都北方川，毗邻一条溪流-平山，有“Gozan-no-Okuribi”(京都夏季盛事)的“戴蒙吉”(Daimonji)，远望Hieizan山脉。该网站俯瞰开放的空间，对面的街道，当地的大学有一个植物园，和毗邻的儿童游乐场的位置。这两个开放空间合在一起，把网站变成了一个角落街区。

Text description provided by the architects. The site is located in Kitashirakawa, Kyoto adjacent to a stream, the Higashiyama mountains with its ‘Daimonji’ of ‘Gozan-no-Okuribi’ (a summer event in Kyoto) and has distant views to Hieizan mountains. The site overlooks open-spaces both across the street where the local university has a botanical garden, and adjoining where a children's playground is situated. Together the two open spaces turn the site into a corner block.

建筑如何对这样的网站做出反应？作为一种回应，我认为屋顶是该地区的一个重要的上下文元素，并将其发展为一个概念。在这个安静的住宅区里，有一些狭窄的街道，既有新旧房屋，又有不同的外观和屋顶。作为一种处理上下文的方法，我为项目和网站选择了一个合适的屋顶，并进行了研究。因此，我决定选择简单的倾斜屋顶，在对角线上有一个山脊。屋顶形式最终在一个设计评审小组中进行了讨论和讨论，因为在京都的严格设计准则中，屋顶的形状是前所未有的。屋顶形式最终得到批准，因为它表明，尽管房子的规模，它考虑到城市的情况，并符合京都僵化的法规。

How can architecture respond to such a site?; As a response, I saw the roof as is an important contextual element within the area and develop it as a concept. In this quiet residential area, there are narrow streets with a mix of old and new houses, in which their appearance and roof forms are diverse. As an approach to the context, I selected an appropriate roof for both the program and the site and made a study. As a result, I decided to choose simple sloped roof with a ridge in a diagonal line. The roof form was eventually deliberated and discussed in a design review panel as the shape was unprecedented within the strict design guidelines of Kyoto. The roof form was eventually approved as it demonstrated that despite the house’s scale, it considered the urban context and conformed to the stultifying regulations of Kyoto.

 Floor Plan

这房子是为一个四口之家而建的。主空间是开放的，形成一个单一的空间，作为二楼的枢纽，家庭在那里度过他们的大部分时间。该空间连接到三楼和一个阁楼的空隙，这是覆盖着一个巨大的天花板突出从一个露台。我们可以住在这个中央空间，同时感受到家庭生活的所有迹象和盲点，这些盲点是由不同楼层、厨房和楼梯的楼板造成的。这个简单的框架，允许空间突出，细节是计划的细节，为房子的一致性和连贯性的设计。

The house is for a family of 4 people. The main spaces are open to form a single space and act as the hub of second floor where the family spends most of their time. The space is connected to the third floor and a loft by a void, which is covered by a large ceiling projecting from a terrace. It is possible to live in this central space while feeling all the signs of family life with the blind spots made by floor slabs with different levels, kitchen and stairs. This simple framework, which allows the space to stand out, details were planned minutely providing the house with consistency and coherence to the design.

二楼四面的“带子”被用作橱柜和海湾窗户，为种植、展示物品以及长凳和山顶创造了空间。这支乐队重新诠释了传统的“en”(阳台式)、“Shoin”(书房式)和“Toko”(凉亭式)“Degoushi”(烤制的东方风格)，并将丰富的住宅布局转变为身心兼具的宽敞空间。“带”深度使墙的边界变厚，使内部和外部之间的划分模棱两可。

A "band" attached to four sides on the second floor is used as a cabinet and a bay window that creates a space for planting, the display of objects, as well as a bench and a peak. This band reinterprets the traditional ‘En’(veranda-like), ‘Shoin’(study-like) and ‘Toko’(alcove-like) ‘Degoushi’(grilled oriel-like) and transforms an abundant residential configuration into expansiveness space, that acts both physically and psychologically. The “bands” depth thickens the boundary of the wall making the division between in-and-out ambiguous.

眼睛扫视着漫游者在露台和山顶上的种植，樱花在儿童游乐场、大学植物园和远山中绽放，而不仅仅是从打开的窗户借来的风景。在这所房子里，一家人在感觉身体运动的同时，每天都在无意识上活动，一个漫射的视觉和实验环节。Satoru Umehara/UME建筑师

The eyes scan rove across planting on a terrace and a peak, cherry blossoms in children's playground, university botanical garden and far mountains, and not just the borrowed scenery from an opened window. In this house the family is living while feeling body movement, a diffuse vision and the experimental links every day act on the unconsciousness. Satoru Umehara / UME architects
