这是一项重建两家住宅的工程.每次我看到重建前的拆除工作，看到空置的土地，我都会有一些不舒服的感觉。旧房是一座对业主有着丰富的思想和记忆的建筑，也是从社区的角度构成城市景观的一部分。因此，我基于这样的想法，即在重建工程中，在保持旧城风貌的同时，也要有一种更新房屋的方法，因此，我提出了一套日本风格的房屋，使其自然地与现有的栅栏和外部花园相适应。

This is the project for two-family house by reconstruction. Every time I witnessed the demolition work before reconstruction, I’ve had some uncomfortable feelings by the view of vacant land. The old house is a building containing lots of thoughts and memories for the owner and it is also a part constituting the townscape from the community viewpoint. Therefore, based on the idea that there should be a way to renew the house while keeping the old townscape even in reconstruction project, I proposed a house with Japanese-style outlook to fit naturally into the existing fence and external garden.

至于内部方面，我做了很多研究来强调两个家庭之间的界限。在最后的方案中，外部缓冲空间(内花园)被放置在两栋房屋之间，以设定边界，就像住宅区内的建筑物并排站在一起，有足够的距离感一样。公共入口和办公桌空间以相同的方式放置。与城市景观中的房屋不同，它是一个家庭内部的边界，因此四栋房屋在内部松散相连，而每栋房子都通过倾斜的天花板保持独立。视线与内花园之间的高度差异足以阻挡视线，以确保适度的隐私水平。

As for the interior, I made many studies to emphasize the boundary between two families. In the final plan the exterior buffer space (inner garden) is placed between two houses to set the boundary, just as buildings in residential area stand side by side with adequate sense of distance. Common entrance and desk space are positioned in the same manner. Unlike the houses in a townscape it is the boundary within a family here, therefore four houses facing each other are loosely connected in the interior while each maintaining its independence by slanted ceiling. Line of sight is adequately blocked by the difference of elevation with inner garden to secure a moderate level of privacy.

景观设计参照现有的围栏和园林，利用居住区房屋之间的空间关系进行室内设计。这个住宅项目的设计不是通过创造设计师全新的想法，而是试图利用现有的关系。

The outlook is designed referring to existing fences and gardens and the interior was constructed using the spatial relationship between houses in residential area. This housing project is designed not by creating totally new ideas of the designer, but by trying to utilize existing relationship.
