架构师提供的文本描述。位于伊巴拉吉县北部的玉村市素有渔业繁荣之称。冈村天信，他迷恋于玉村海岸线的景色，喜欢这个地方作为他的最后住所。有一些具有历史意义的建筑，如由Tenshin设计的Rokakudo*和Tenshin纪念艺术博物馆。房子的主人是渔夫。他的祖先是在天信附近工作的水手乘务员。在那些日子里，它说，天信留下了一条信息：“渔民在山里植树”。该项目的故事开始于计划充分利用山中的遗址从他的祖先继承和设计的房子。

Text description provided by the architects. The city of Itsuura, located in the north part of Ibaragi prefecture, has known as a prosperous fishery. Tenshin Okakura * who was enamored by the scenery of the coast line of Itsuura and loved the place as his final abode. There are some historic architectures such as Rokakudo ** designed by Tenshin and Tenshin Memorial Museum of Art. The owner of the house is a fisherman. His ancestor was a sailor attendant working near Tenshin. In those days, it was saying that Tenshin left a message "Fishermen do plant trees in mountains". The story of the project starts with planning to make full use of the site in the mountain inherited from his ancestor and design the house.

冈村天信(又名冈村康藏)是日本学者，为日本艺术的发展做出了贡献。在日本以外的地方，今天人们主要记得他是“茶书”的作者。Rokakudo*是一个六角形的木屋，俯瞰着大冢海。

Tenshin Okakura * (also known as Okakura Kakuzo) was a Japanese scholar who contributed to the development of arts in Japan. Outside of Japan, he is mainly remembered today as the author of "The Book of Tea". Rokakudo ** is a hexagonal wooden retreat overlooking the Itsuura sea.

 Floor Plan

“V”充分利用土地。由于南面陡峭的场地，首先对场地进行评价规划是非常重要的问题。为了不开发这片土地，我们制定了一项规则，按照目前场地的形状，尽可能地保护树木。首先对山体坡面进行测量，然后根据数据对坡面形状进行建模，形成一些平面，并将其连接起来。点变成线，线变成表面，重复这些过程，我们最终可以找到合适的地点来规划建造房屋，同时也充分利用了场地的环境。房子的布局看起来像“V”的展开形状，双翼设计成不同的居住环境。

"V" makes full use of the land. Because of the south-facing steep site, to begin with evaluating to plan the site was very important issue. Not to develop the land, we set a rule to follow the shape of the current site condition and preserve the trees as possible as we can. At first to survey the mountain slope, second modeling the shape from data, and some flat surfaces were emerged and connected them. Points became lines and lines became surfaces, repeating these processes, we could finally find out the suitable location to plan to build the house, and it also makes full use of environment of the site.  The plan of the house looks like spreading shape of "V", and two wings are designed as different living environm

这所房子由简单的材料、木头和眼镜组成。为了定期排列立柱和侧百叶窗，并将木块斜插在它们之间，木框架墙起到支撑的作用。除了木块对角线外，还安装了固定眼镜和部分遮阳窗。

The house consists of the simple materials; woods and glasses. To arrange the columns and lateral louvers regularly, and inlay wooden blocks diagonally in between them, the wooden frame wall acts as a bracing. Besides diagonal lines of wooden blocks, fixed glasses and partially awning windows are installed.

室外木制百叶窗控制着季节的阳光。不规则的阳光透过树木进入房间，从视线之外的景色，人们可以感受到四季的温柔变化。前门的内部是车间渔夫的设备。楼梯通向工作空间的上层。

External wooden louvers are controlling the sunlight season by season. Irregular Sunlight filtering though trees comes into the room, from beyond the glimpse of the scenery, people inside of the house can feel the gentle change of four seasons.  The inside of the front door is the workshop fisherman's devices. The stairs lead to the upper level of working space.

两个浴缸准备用两种不同的温度来填满渔夫从海里回来后冰冷的身体。

Two bathtubs are prepared to fill them with two different temperatures to accustom fisherman's cold body after returning from the sea. 

木结构由锥形的“基石”和一堆木“柱”支撑。该遗址，靠近井村海和天信的Rokkakudo，位于山坡的一个角落的天然“茎状体”，这是一个基岩层垂直突出。房子的两个不同的空间是悬挑的，从后面的山坡走向山谷一侧。在底端和悬臂的一个交叉点，3米高的锥形“地基石”被直接安装在基岩上的混凝土上(塌陷度=8cm)。

Wooden structure supported by the cone shaped "foundation stone" and bunch of log "posts". The site, near the sea of Itsuura and Tenshin's Rokkakudo, is located on a corner of the hillside natural "stylobate" which is a bedrock layer vertically protruded. Two different space of the house are cantilevered and heading to the valley side from the hillside at the back behind. At bottom ends and a cross point of the cantilevers, three of 3m high cone shaped "foundation stones" are installed to pured concrete (slump = 8cm) directly on the bedrock.

一堆圆木“柱子”正在从“基石”中放射出来。直径140毫米的“柱”在底部呈圆形双倍排列，在顶部呈单面排列。纵深360至800毫米的横梁在“柱子”和斜坡之间运行。他们还创造了“地面”，人们大部分时间都在海底(山谷)和山(山)之间。将成品120 mm厚的木块排成对角线位置，外墙作为承重墙。

The bunch of log "post" are radiating out from the "foundation stones". 140mm-diameter "posts" are arranged in circularly double at the bottom and single at the top. The girders with 360 - 800mm depth are running between the "posts" and the slop of the hill. They are also creating the "floor" the people spending most of the time on it between the sea (valley) and the mountain (hill). Arranging finished 120mm-thick wooden blocks in diagonal position, the external wooden walls are acting as a bearing wall.

和当地渔民一起保护森林。丰富森林中的泉水将培育出生机勃勃的海洋，并将发挥海洋环境保护的巨大作用。遵循天信的“渔民在山上植树”的理念，我们建筑师，客户和当地的猪村渔民已经种植了大约60棵树，以便将其余的土地归还山区。

Protect the forest with local fishermen. A spring water from a rich forest will cultivate a life-bearing sea and will play a great role of a sea environment preservation. Follow Tenshin's precept "Fishermen do plant trees in mountains", we architects, the client and local Itsuura fishermen have planted about 60-trees in order to return the rest of the land to the mountain.

为此，我们希望它能给周边地区和环境带来新的利润，世代居住的家庭照顾好森林，接受天信对下一代的教诲。在房子将来装修的时候，他们将使用60棵长成的树，并一次又一次地种新的树。

To doing this, we hope that it gives a fresh profit to surrounding area and environment, the family living the house generation by generation take good care of the forest and take Tenshin's precept over the next generation. At the time of future renovation of the house, they will use grown-up-60-trees and plant new trees again and again.
