这座房子俯瞰的河岸是伊巴吉地区的著名景点之一，以樱花闻名于世。在设计房子时，我非常重视它与樱花的关系。

The river banks to which the site of the house overlooks is among the prominent spots of Ibargi Prefecture, renowned for their cherry blossoms. In designing the house, I attached great importance to its relationship with the cherry blossoms.

正面由三面白色外墙组成，暗示着河面上有三层涟漪。它是一座房屋，它使居民能够与樱花紧密地生活在一起，在日本，樱桃树随着季节的变化而表现出各种不同的表达方式。

The facade which consists of three white outer walls, is suggestive of triple ripples on the surface of the river. It is a house that enables its residents to live closely with the cherry trees which manifest all kinds of expressions with the changing of the seasons in Japan.

根据场地的形状，一条狭长的小路延伸到樱桃树上，我设想了房子的形状，一个U形的，这样它的每个房间都能从光线中充分受益。

Based on  the shape of the site, one that stretches in a narrow strip  toward the cherry trees, I I conceived  the shape of the house , a U-shaped one, so that every one of its rooms would fully benefit from the light.
