架构师提供的文本描述。这是一座30年楼龄的公寓楼的改造工程.

Text description provided by the architects. This is a renovation project of an apartment unit in a 30-years-old building.

这是一个有三位女士，一位母亲和两个女儿的家庭。它向南的宽面很吸引人，但在日本完成的时候，现有的规划却是一成不变的，所以整个部队都无法从宽阔的正面中受益。特别是现有的厨房是封闭的，与其他地方相分离，显然，对于想要享受广阔的正面风景和与女儿交流的顾客来说，这并不是一个理想的情况。

It's for a family of 3 ladies, a mother and 2 daughters. Its wide frontage toward south was very attractive, but the existing plan was stereotypical one at the time of its completion in Japan, so the whole unit could not benefit from the wide frontage. Especially, the existing kitchen was closed and separated from other part, and apparently, it was not an ideal situation for the client who wants to enjoy scenery of the wide frontage and to communicate with daughters.

第一步是删除浴室以外的大部分现有分区，以创建一个大空间。其次是插入三道轻轻弯曲的墙，它们不是从地板到天花板，而是离天花板有20厘米的空隙。

The first step was to remove most of existing partitions, except bathroom, to create one big space. The next was to insert three gently-curved walls, which are not from floor to ceiling but have 20 cm clearances from ceiling.

楼后平面图

墙壁为每个家庭创造了各种各样的空间，以保持隐私。同时，墙壁上的开口连接着空间和家庭。分离和连接不是静态的。当一个家庭在公寓里散步时，空间和家庭之间的关系每时每刻都在发生变化。

The walls create a variety of spaces for each family keeping privacy. At the same time, openings on the walls connects the spaces and the family each other. The separation and the connection are not static. When one of the family is walking in the apartment, relationships between spaces and family are being changed every moment.

夜间，墙壁顶部反射光线的天花板也显示出空间的特点。

At the night, ceiling reflecting lights from the top of the walls also indicate characteristics of the space.
