架构师提供的文本描述。这是一个房子的空间，看上去像一个内部和外部。这个空间有很大的风量，覆盖着屋顶和半透明的表面，不受雨和风的影响。然而，它没有隔热性能。它可以放在日本传统地坪的延伸处，也可以放在北海道房屋里的太阳房上。这里我们称之为“露台”，因为它是一个明亮而开放的半外部空间。从春天到秋天，它是生活空间的一部分。在冬天，它就像温室一样工作，可以抵御严寒。

Text description provided by the architects. This is a house with a space that looks like an interior as well as an exterior. The space has a large air volume, covered with a roof and translucent surface which keep off the rain and wind. However, it doesn't have heat insulation performance. It could be positioned on the extension of the Japanese traditional earth floor or the sun room seen in houses of Hokkaido. Here we call it a "terrace" because it is a half-exterior space that is bright and open. From spring to autumn, it works as a part of the living space. And in winter it works like a glasshouse, which keeps off the severe cold.

“大露台”这个26平方米的大露台，是室内空间的一半，同时与室内空间有着连续的关系和不连续的关系。连续性有助于使小房子感觉宽敞，不连续有助于使室内空间热紧凑。

"Large terrace" This 26 square meters large terrace, which is the half of the indoor space, has a continuous relationship and a discontinuous relationship with the indoor space at the same time. Continuity contributes to make the small house feels spacious, and discontinuity contributes to make the indoor space thermally compact.
