 Floor Plan

客户是一对三十多岁的夫妇。由于它是一个小房子，总面积约20吨(66平方米)，最低限度的必要功能是在一层结构。客厅的窗户比地面高出90厘米，以保护街道上的隐私，把田园风光的景致和客人的大椭圆形桌子设计得井井有条，不让人感到拥挤。

The client is a couple in their thirties. Since it is a small house with a total area of about 20 tsubo (66 square meters), the minimum necessary function is laid out in one-story structure. The living room window, raised 90 cm above the ground level to protect the privacy from the street, frames the view of the pastoral scenery and the client's large oval table fits well without feeling crowded.

客厅和卧室之间有一个适当的距离，卧室的地板正在降低，透过窗户可以看到向日葵，在窗户之外，客户可以种植向日葵来改良土壤。当一个人下楼到卧室，私家花园走近，起居室的窗户开始仅仅是天空的框架，安全的感觉就像你在一个舒适的地窖里一样。

There is an appropriate distance between the living room and the bedroom, with the bedroom's floor being lowered, and there is a view to sunflowers through the window beyond which were planted for the soil improvement by the client. When one descends down to the bedroom, the private garden approaches, the living room window starts to frame only the sky, and the secured feeling is provided as if you are in a comfortable cellar.

将两个区域分开的家具提供了日常使用的存储空间，而家具内部的隐藏门导致了生活和餐饮地板下的存储。虽然这所房子的规模很小，但储存面积很大。

The furniture to divide two areas provides storage areas for daily use and the hidden doors in the furniture inside leads to storage under the living and dining floors. The storage area provided is abundant though the house is very compact in scale.

这所房子离客户的工作和客户的父母家很近。他们可以在大院子里欣赏园艺，周围是美丽的田园风光。偶尔，父母和朋友的晚餐访问都是在夕阳的映衬下进行的。这种建筑实现了紧凑、乡村生活的理想。

The house is close to the clients’ work and to the clients’ parents’ house. They can enjoy gardening in the big yard, surrounded by beautiful pastoral scene. Occasional dinner visits from parents and friends are framed in a sunset view. This architecture realizes an ideal of compact, countryside living.
