架构师提供的文本描述。M房是一对年轻夫妇在Setagaya的住宅。他们都是平面设计师，在家里工作了好几个小时，所以我们把它设计成了一个名为“客厅外”的室外空间，让他们能够从房子的每一个角落感受到外面的空气。

Text description provided by the architects. House M is a residence in Setagaya for a young couple. They are both graphic designers who often work all hours at home, so we designed it centering on an outdoor space called Outside Living Room, which enables them to feel the outside air from every corner of the house.

外面的起居室被一堵外墙包围着，但却是一堵没有屋顶的墙，而且这堵墙向城镇有一个小的开口。在日本的城市里，房屋建造得如此密集，以至于很难充分利用开阔的露台。在这里，由于客厅是向上开放的，而它的邻居关闭，它作为一种装置，提供一种轻松的生活方式，以享受外部环境。

Outside Living Room is surrounded by an exterior wall but is roofless, and the wall has a small opening toward the town. In Japanese cities, houses are built so densely that it is difficult to make good use of an open terrace. Here, since the living room is open upwards while closed from its neighbors, it works as a device to offer a relaxed lifestyle to enjoy the environment outside.

里面的所有房间都是按照与客厅外的声音和视线的关系和距离设计的。整个房子感觉到空气，光，声音和风通过客厅，这使你能够感知时间的推移和季节的变化，而不去户外。

All of the rooms inside are designed in relations and distances towards the sound and sightlines in Outside Living Room. The whole house senses the air, light, sound and wind coming through the living room, which enables you to perceive the passage of time and the change of seasons without going outdoors.

房子的结构是混合的：中心柱和支撑二楼的梁是钢框架，在这个铁“XYZ-轴”上铺设了一个木制的“地板”。这房子是一个微妙的组合，宽敞的房间顺序和亲密空间的工作，这是很难期待从一个建筑面积只有40㎡。

Structure of the house is hybrid: the central pillar and the girder supporting the 2nd floor are steel frame, and a wooden “floor” is laid on this iron “XYZ-axis”. The house is a subtle combination of spacious rooms in sequence and intimate spaces to do work, which is hard to expect from a built area of just 40㎡.

房子实际上是单一的空间-从半地下室延伸到二楼-但每个房间之间有合理的距离，因为它们是分层的。

The house is virtually single space - stretching from the semibasement to the 2nd floor - but reasonable distances are secured between each room as they are layered.
