架构师提供的文本描述。Sugamo Shinkin银行是一个信用合作社，致力于按照其座右铭：“我们乐于为快乐的客户服务”，为其客户提供一流的款待。Nakaaoki分公司是Emmanuelle被委托处理建筑和室内设计的第四分支。对所有分行的共同要求是创建一家银行，人们希望在那里停留更长时间，并自然地感觉回来。Nakaaoki分店位于主要交叉口的拐角处，那里有频繁的汽车、公共汽车、自行车和人的流动。以这个独特的位置为特征，立面设计成节奏性的，它改变了人们从不同角度所看到的表达方式。

Text description provided by the architects. Sugamo Shinkin Bank is a credit union that strives to provide first-rate hospitality to its customers in accordance with its motto: “we take pleasure in serving happy customers”. Nakaaoki branch is the forth branch where Emmanuelle has been commissioned to handle the architectural and interior design. The common request for all branches is to create a bank where people wish to stay longer and naturally feel to come back again. Nakaaoki branch is located on the corner of major intersection, where there is a frequent movement of cars, busses, bicycles, and people. Taking this unique location as a characteristic, the façade is designed to be rhythmical that changes expression as people see from different angles.

颜色从立方体的节奏重复中出现，舞蹈就像弹奏彩虹旋律的音符。立面由四个不同深度的立方体组成。颜色被应用在这些立方体的正面或侧面，这样当视图的方向发生变化时，颜色就会出现、消失或重叠。在12个立方体内建有小型高架花园，其中自然的季节性变化以万寿菊、薰衣草和橄榄树等生长树木来表达。从一楼的开放空间，从二楼的融资部分和自助餐厅可以看到花园。阳光透过南面的高架花园的叶子被过滤，为河岸提供了和谐而温暖的氛围。与正面的节奏运动相比，室内装饰是固定的和静音的。

Colors appear in and out from the rhythmical repetition of cubes, dancing like musical notes playing rainbow melody. The façade is composed of cubes of four different depths. Colors are applied on the front or side of these cubes, so that the colors appear, disappear or overlap as the direction of view changes. Small elevated gardens are built inside 12 cubes, where the seasonal changes in nature are expressed by seasonal flowers like marigold, lavender, and growing trees such as olive tree.  Gardens can be seen from the open space on the first floor, and from the financing section and cafeteria on the second floor. Sunlight is filtered through the foliage of elevated gardens on the South facing façade, providing a harmonious and warm atmosphere inside the bank. The interior finishes are settled and muted compare to the rhythmical movement of the façade.

五颜六色，花草树木，从反复飘浮的立方体中浮现出来，奏出彩虹的旋律。旋律把快乐和安慰传递给游客和当地社区的人们。

The colors, flowers and trees appear in and out from the repetition of floating cubes, playing rainbow melody. The melody spreads happiness and comfort to visitors and to the people in the local community.

场址特征与伊曼纽尔的解释融合在一起，形成了中桥分科。她希望新银行能给许多人带来快乐和欢笑，就像她设计的其他四家分行一样。

The site characteristics and Emmanuelle’s interpretation have fused together to produce Nakaaoki branch. She wishes that the new bank will bring happiness and laughter to many people, just like the other four branches she has designed.
