架构师提供的文本描述。这个四口之家的住宅项目位于日本北部宫城县的郊区。这片被群山环绕的遗址被保护起来，免受来自枣山的严苛的季风吹落，唯一的南部是开放的，稻田散落在那里。周围的山脉保护着乡村风光，远离交通噪音。

Text description provided by the architects. This single family residence project, for a family of 4, is situated in the outskirt of Miyagi prefecture, northern part of Japan. The site, surrounded by mountains, is protected from harsh seasonal wind blown down from Zao Mountain and the only south is open, where rice fields spread out. The surrounding mountains preserve rural scenery, distanced from traffic noise.

低预算工程采用传统的柱梁结构，该结构提供了网格系统。均匀明亮的空间并不总是吸引人的。在日本传统文化中，光明和阴影总是共存的，黑暗强调光明，精致的文化欣赏黑暗的存在。

Traditional post and beam structure was chosen for low budget project, and this structure provides grid system. Uniformly bright space is not always appealing. Light and shadow always coexist in traditional Japanese culture, where darkness accentuates lightness and refined culture appreciates the existence of darkness.

一层平面图

环绕着遗址三面的群山，包括光、影和影，直接的阳光从南方的开阔稻田中照射下来。下午，群山开始投下阴影，阻挡着阳光直射到遗址，从早上到下午影响着它的外观。其目的是在设计中探索景观的特征，并在一天一整年的时间里最好地体验到令人印象深刻的风景。

The mountains that surround three sides of site embraces light, shade and shadow, and direct sunlight is shining down from open rice fields on south. The mountains start to cast shadow in the afternoon, blocking direct sunlight to the site and it influences its appearance from morning to afternoon. The intention was to explore the　characteristics of landscape into the design and to best experience impressive scenery throughout a day and year.

房子由两个体积组成，一个轴体积和一个包裹体积。主“暗”轴，向东向西，由每个“光”室包扎，包住体积。包装卷包含了来自南方的令人印象深刻的风景。主轴形成后庭院，允许最大限度的阳光照射到房子的后方，直到场地被遮挡，而且它也进行从开始到结束的有控制的视图的旅程。电加热系统嵌入到主轴的混凝土板中，将热量储存和辐射到轴和包裹空间。

The house consists of two volumes, an axis volume and wrapping volume. Main “dark” axis, oriented east to west, is wrapped by each “light” room, wrapping volume. The wrapping volume incorporates impressive scenery from south. The main axis forms rear courtyard, allowing maximum sunlight to rear of the house till the site is shadowed, and it also conducts the journey with controlled views from beginning to end. Electrical heating system is embedded into the concrete slab of main axis, which holds and radiates heat out to both axis and wrapping spaces.

进入南方的阳光从白色的墙壁上反射出来，照亮了生活空间，白色的空间与稻田的自然光和开阔的天空相协调。有深色墙壁的北轴提供了黑暗和固定的光线，并与山的阴影融合在一起。黑暗和光的对比丰富了空间，不同的大气，在整个白天和季节变化，同时给空间带来受控的观点。

South entering light bounces off the white wall to brighten the living space and white space harmonizes with natural light of rice fields and open sky. North axis with dark stained wall provides dark and settled light, and merges with shadow of mountains. The contrast of dark and light enriches the space with different atmosphere that changes throughout the day and with the seasons, whilst bringing the controlled views to the space.
