架构师提供的文本描述。面对靖国神社，这个遗址就在有200年历史的日本雪松树旁边被发现。我们怎样才能把这种丰富的环境，不仅是在有特色的环境中宝贵的经验，而且是丰富的感情，带到日常生活中去？这是项目的起点。

由于日本的泽尔科娃树高20米，以传统的方式，我们无法从一楼平凡的窗户上看到翠绿的树枝。因此客厅有3.5米高的天花板，而且还有一个大的高边带窗.在起居室的两端，也有阁楼空间作为楼梯的着陆空间。

Since the Japanese zelkova trees are 20 meters in height, in a conventional way, we cannot get a view of verdant branches from mundane windows on the ground floor. Therefore living room has 3.5 meters of ceiling height, and moreover a large high-side band-window. At the both ends of the living room, there are loft spaces used also for a landing space of the stair.

在日常生活中，我们在微风中仰望摇曳的树木，甚至可以直接从阁楼空间的尽头的露台上触摸树木。

We look up swinging trees in the breeze from the large band-window in everyday life, and even we can touch the trees directly from the terrace at the very end of the loft space.
