“一座多层建筑的拆解”：一处两层主楼的场地被一分为二，一座为年轻夫妇建造的新房子将建在这片空地上。

“Deconstruction of a multi-floored architecture”: A site with a two-storied main house is split in half and a new house for a young couple is going to be built on the vacant area.

虽然周围的环境有足够的空间，也没有近似的建筑，但新房子建得离主房子相当近是不可避免的。此外，由于场地面积有限，需要多层居住空间。

Although there is enough space within the surrounding environment and there are no approximate buildings, it is inevitable that the new house be built rather close to the main house. In addition, a multi-floor living space was needed due to the limitation of the site area.

 Floor Plan

因此，为了避免彼此面对，在主房正方形体积的角处选择了一个圆形体积。它的布置是为了在这两座建筑之间形成一个山谷状的空间，向外延伸。圆形是设置在一个不规则形状的地点，创造各种形状的花园围绕它，可以共享与主房子。圆形建筑一楼的每个房间都有一扇通往花园的门。

Therefore, to avoid facing each other, a round shaped volume was chosen against the corner of the square shaped volume of the main house. It was arranged so as to create a valley-like space in between the two buildings spreading open towards the outside. The round shape is set on an irregular shaped site, creating various shaped gardens around it that can be shared with the main house. Each room on the first floor in the round shaped building has a door that opens to the gardens.

一楼有几间小房间和一间浴室，二楼布置了一个人人都能聚集的单一大厅。楼下和楼上通过降低两层之间的楼板(楼上的地板)的高度相对较近，因此，即使从二楼的中心，也可以通过封闭的楼梯和楼下的房间看到花园的地面。

A number of small rooms and a bathroom are located on the first floor, and a single large hall where everyone can gather is arranged on the second floor. Downstairs and upstairs are relatively close by lowering the height of the slab (the upstairs floor) that lies between the two floors, and therefore, the garden grounds can be seen even from the center of the second floor through the enclosed staircases and downstairs rooms.

 Floor Plan

从二楼的入口进入，密闭的楼梯被布置在客厅内，里面充满了来自高天花板的自然光；封闭的楼梯看起来像各种高度的细长结构。这个空间就像在一个城镇的街道上，让你觉得它就在地面上，尽管它位于多层建筑的楼上。

Entering through the entrance on the second floor, enclosed staircases are arranged within the living room that is filled with natural light from a high ceiling; the enclosed staircases look like slender structures of various heights. The space seems like being on a street in a town, and makes you feel it is on the ground level although it is on the upstairs of the multi-floor building.

四个封闭楼梯的每一个连接到一楼的一个单独的房间。当你从儿童室或卧室(封闭的楼梯内)抬头看几乎能到达屋顶的开放式天花板时，就可以看到天空，自然光线从封闭楼梯的开口上方的天窗中倾泻而下。这个房子的本意是让一个人能够感觉到地面和天空，尽管它是一座多层建筑。

Each of the four enclosed staircases connects to an individual room on the first floor. When you look up at the open ceilings from the children’s room or the bedroom (inside of the enclosed staircases) that almost reach the roof, the sky can be seen and natural light pours down from skylights above the openings in the enclosed staircases. It was intended with this house that a person be able to feel the ground and sky throughout, though it is a multi-floored building.

消除通常存在的多层楼梯间的不连续性，可能会导致一个统一和持续的新生活环境的展开。通过与各个区域(包括外部)的相互联系，以及从外部到内部以及从楼上到楼下的生活空间的交叉，一楼和二楼之间的等级消失了，个人的功能和景观融合在一起。

Elimination of the discontinuity between multi-floor stairs that usually exists might result in the unfolding of a united and continuous new living environment. By interrelating with each area, including the outside, and by intersecting the living space from exterior to interior and from upstairs to downstairs, the hierarchy between the first floor and the second floor disappears and individual functions and sceneries mix together.
