这条私人道路是用沥青铺成的，仿佛是公共道路的延续，尽管它实际上是房子的前院。这条私人道路将是一个专供业主站着与邻居聊天的地方，供孩子们用粉笔画画而不在意交通，也不为客人停车。

The private road is paved with asphalt as if it is continuation of a public road although being actually a front yard of the house. This private road would be a place exclusive for the owner to stand chatting with neighbors and for children to draw with chalks without minding traffic, or parking for guests.

该建筑位于新泻市的一个老城区，以其传统的灯节而闻名于世。节日在节日期间将关闭的街道上举行。当节日临近的时候，邻居们聚集在街上讨论修理灯笼和其他事情，有时还会举行酒会。这一地区的居民一直把街道作为居住空间的一部分，而“私人道路”的概念则继承了这一传统。

The premises is located in an old district of Niigata city, which is famous for its traditional fighting lantern festival. The festival takes place on the streets which will be closed during the festival. When the date of festival comes near, neighbors get together on the street to discuss repair of lanterns and other matters, sometimes ending up on drinking party. Habitants of this district have been using streets as part of living space, and the idea of "private road" take on this tradition.

在一楼，车库，餐厅/厨房，起居室和泥土地板，所有这些都可以从私人道路通过宽阔的开口到达。当邻居拜访房子与主人分享菜肴时，他/她不需要通过入口，而只是通过餐厅或厨房的开放。当一位汽车爱好者朋友乘车来访时，车主可以从车库走出来，领车进去，并开始汽车谈话。入口在私人道路的后面是宽敞的土地板，可以用来准备节日和节日后的聚会。

On the first floor, garage, dining/ kitchen, living room, and earthen floor are located, all of which are accessible from the private road through wide opening. When a neighbor visits the house to share dishes with the owner of the house, he/ she does not have to go through the entrance but simply go through the opening of the dining or kitchen. When a car enthusiast friend visits by car, the owner can go out from garage, usher the car inside and start car talks. The entrance which is at the back of the private road is spacious earthen floor which can be used for preparation of festivals and party after the festival.

在二楼，远离私人道路，阳光房，浴室，卧室和客房，为更多的私人功能。在多雨少日照的新泻地区，人们倾向于在室内消磨时间，阳光房在高大的屋顶下充当开放的准室外空间。这是一个阳光明媚的空间，在那里，洗衣房可以晾干，孩子们也可以玩耍，或者是为了其他目的而服务。阳光房里充足的阳光通过扇光传送到浴室。卧室和客房位于屋檐附近，天花板较低，更舒适。

On the second floor, distanced from the private road, sunroom, bathroom, bedroom, and guest room are located for more private function. In Niigata, a region of much rain and less sunshine, people tend to spend time indoor, and the sunroom serves as open quasi-outdoor space under high, big roof. It is a sunny space where laundry is hung to dry, children play or it serves for other purposes. Abundant sunshine in sunroom is sent to bathroom through fanlight. The bedroom and guest room are placed near eaves where the ceilings are lower and more cozy.

房屋正面道路合法位于西侧，但以房屋内的私人道路作为正面道路，具有准南面的曝光率和充足的阳光。房子东西向长，南北轴短，减少了太阳辐射负荷，通风良好。

The frontal road of the house is legally on the west side, but using the private road in the premises as frontal road, the house has quasi-southern exposure and abundant sunlight. The house which is long on east-west axis and short on north-south axis has reduced solar radiation load and good ventilation.
