2012年，在日本的新泻市，大量的住宅用地，在17.30公顷的高密度住宅开发区内的540个分区开放销售。尽管受到绿地覆盖率的调节，公园很多，距离下一栋房子的距离也很远，但这个网站给我们的感觉既不特别有吸引力，也不可靠，即完全模糊，但通常情况下是好的。

 In 2012, an enormous amount of housing lots, 540 subdivisions in 17.30 ha of the high-density housing development area, was opened up for sale in Niigata, Japan. Even though regulated by the green coverage ratio with plenty of parks and the setback distance from the next house, the site gave us the feeling of neither especially attractive nor reliable enough, namely identically blurred, but typically GOOD.

在这样的环境下，哦！众议院计划在540个分区之一建立一个四口之家。客户提出的三项要求都是明确而直截了当的：要列出，花园要让自己的生活打开，书架上要装满大量的书，封闭的厨房房间。

 Within such an environment, OH! House is planned for a family of four in one of 540 subdivisions. Three requirements from the client are clear and straightforward; to list, Garden to make their life open possible, Bookshelf to be filled with a large amount of books, Closed kitchen room.

在一楼，入口迫击炮层穿过房子的中心，旁边放着一间有两个孩子的房间。这种与外界的无缝连接，让孩子们不仅可以使用自己的私人房间，还可以使用周围的空间，没有任何界限。

 On the ground floor, entrance mortar floor crosses at the center of the house, and a room for two children is placed next to it. This seamless connection to the outside lets children use not only their private room but also the space all around without any boundaries.

在一楼，故意把LDK划分成小房间，而不是一个大房间。客厅、餐厅、厨房和卫生间排列成一排，从侧廊开放，彼此轻轻地分开，在客厅、餐厅和厨房之间填充他们最喜欢的书籍，沿边走廊特有的12米长的书架和工作柜台已经成为房子的心脏地带了。

 On the first floor, deliberately LDK is divided into small rooms instead of making a large one-room. Living room, dining room, kitchen room and toilet are arranged in a row with open access from side corridor, and thus gently divided each other. By filling in between Living room, Dining room and Kitchen room with their favorite books, the characteristic 12 meters long bookshelf and work counter along the side corridor have become a heart of the house.

在LDK的独立房间外种了各种各样的树，直到一楼，这样“房子周围的花园”就被创造出来了。面对花园，四周是茂盛的树木，大窗户使我们的生活变得可能，甚至从上面触摸树木。

 A variety of trees reaching up to the first floor are planted outside the separate rooms of LDK, so that “Garden around the House” is created. Facing to the garden and being surrounded by richly grown trees, large windows enable us to make our life open possible, and even to touch the trees from above.

此外，包括“房子周围的花园”在内的整个房子都戴上了一顶大帽子，创造了缓冲空间：介于内外之间的模糊区域，它可以调解和保护房屋免受该地区恶劣气候的影响：大雨和降雪；夏天的阳光；冬季的寒风；以及与邻居的隐私。因此，哦！住宅是在高密度住宅小区中部同时获得的、安全的、完全开放的生活方式，具有时代感。

 Furthermore, a big hat put on the entire house including “Garden around the House” creates Buffer Space: vague territory in between inside and outside, which mediates and protects the house from harshness of the climate in the region: heavy rain and snow fall; sunlight in summer; cold wind in winter, and the privacy from neighbors. Consequently, OH! House is obtained simultaneously secure and fully opened life with the sense of seasons in the middle of high-density residential area.

LDK的独立房间和它们之间的空间；季节的变化和时间的流逝；12米长的工作柜台、走廊上的书架和大量书籍；人们在房子的大礼帽下与阳光和雨水一起生活的隐约性；屋内就像外面，或者相反，哦！豪斯充满了这么多的机会，我们会绕着他们走。在散步的路上，有起居室、饭厅、舒适的沙发和最喜欢的书。这就是我们在这里所要达到的目标：房子可以是什么，人们将如何生活，最终，房子如何在模糊的身份的海洋中定位自己。

 The separate rooms of LDK and the space in between them; the change of seasons and the passage of time; 12 meters long work counter, bookshelf along the corridor and a lot of books; The vagueness of interiority that people live together with sunlight and rain under the big hat of the house; Inside just like Outside or vice versa, OH! House is filled up with such plenty of opportunities and we would walk around them. On the way of walking around, there are Living room, Dining room, a cozy couch and favorite books. This is what we aimed to achieve here: what the house could be, how people would live, and eventually, how a house can position itself in the sea of blurred identity.
