架构师提供的文本描述。K5-住房[缓慢生活的房子]是在福冈库鲁姆市农村的自然环境中建造的。地点在安静的乡村，许多家庭在那里快乐地生活了很长一段时间。所以，我设计这个房子的理念是把建筑和自然环境协调起来，让这个家庭和那里的邻居过着一种缓慢而快乐的生活。

Text description provided by the architects. K5-house [house of slow life] was built in natural environment of the countryside of Kurume city in Fukuoka. Site is in quiet countryside and many families live there happily with each other for quite a long time. So I design this house with the concept of harmonizing architecture and natural environment to make the family live a slow happy life with neighbors there.

客厅前的木甲板是儿童玩耍的庭院，是家庭的绿洲。这是这个家庭的第一个交流场所，因为铝带可以完全打开，让内部与外部紧密相连。

The wood deck in front of living room is used as play yard for children and oasis for the family. This is the first communication place for this family because aluminum sash can be fully open and let interior connect exterior with each other closely.

位于日式房间前和入口处的空洞化空间是这个家庭和周围人的第二个交流场所。在娃娃节(3月3日)，周围的人也可以从这个空间看到日式房间的装饰。

由红雪松柱廊支撑的楼梯看上去漂浮在空中。我在楼梯扶手上设计了间接光。因此，楼梯在红色雪松柱廊的柔和灯光下，成为客厅的一部分。

Stairs that are supported by colonnades of red cedar looks floating in the air. I designed indirect light in handrail of stairs. So stairs become a part of living room by the gentle light from colonnades of red cedar.
