架构师提供的文本描述。这房子是一个四口之家，已婚夫妇和他们的孩子。他们父母的房子位于他们土地的北面。所以我们在南边安排了他们的低层住宅。这项安排提供了一个开放的空间，以确保父母的房屋有足够的日照和通风。开放空间也可以方便地与父母沟通，并保持着良好的人际关系。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is for a family of four, married couple and their children. Their parents’ house is located on the north side of their ground. So we arranged their low-rise house on the south side. The arrangement provides an open space which ensures adequate insolation and ventilation against the parents’ house. The open space is also used for easy communication with the parents and it keeps good relation among them.

在房子里，天花板与“nokishita”直接相连。它扩大了空间，给人一种自由的感觉，看到蓝天和山。通过屋顶/屋檐的间隙。“nokishita”空间与他们的居住空间密切相关，并在屋内和屋外之间形成了边界，使之顺畅地连接在一起。

Inside the house, ceilings directly connect with the “nokishita.” It expands space and gives liberating feeling to see blue sky and Mt. Daimonji through clearance gap of the roofs/eaves. The “nokishita” space strongly relates with their living spaces and makes boundaries between inside and outside of the house which is smoothly connected.

重叠屋檐可以在夏季切断强烈的阳光，在冬季将温暖的阳光传播到房间内。屋檐的设计尽量减少机械设备，提供舒适的生活。在两个山脊之间的接近方式作为一个空间，提供充分的空调和愉快的生活。

The overlapped eaves can cut strong sunshine in summer and spread warm sunshine into inside the rooms in winter. The design of eaves provides comfortable life with machinery equipment as less as possible. The approach way between two ridges works as a space which provides adequate air-conditioning and enjoyable life.

夏季，开放的进场方式带来了新鲜的空气流动。循环加热空气通过风扇排出，风扇顶部有温度传感器。横梁由十字柱和光栅防震墙组成.横梁可以将阳光照射到房间里，同时也保证了居民的隐私。

In summer the opened approach way brings fresh air flow. Circulated heated air is exhausted through a fan which has temperature sensor on the top of the way. Transom is arranged by criss-cross post and grating earthquake-proof wall. The transom can spread sunshine into the rooms and also ensure inhabitant’s privacy.

此外，由于光栅梁平板结构，房间内没有柱子。因此，该建筑实现了空间的解放，没有任何阻碍的东西。

Additionally there is no post inside the rooms due to grating beamed flat slab architecture. So the architecture realizes liberating space without any obstructing things.

两个山脊之间的接近方式是半室外设计。如果他们打开门窗，他们可以进入解放的外部空间的北侧。这样他们就可以享受季节的变化，温暖的阳光和舒适的风。

Approach way between the two ridges is a half-outdoor design. If they open the doors and windows, they can access liberating outside space of northern side. So they can enjoy changing seasons, warm sunshine and comfortable wind.
