Floor Plan

架构师提供的文本描述。这是一个仍然保留着壮丽自然的住宅区。该遗址位于天然森林之间的一片坡地上。两棵长着漂亮枝条的大树(一棵是樟树，另一棵是樱桃树)矗立在遗址的顶端。这些树被整合到住宅设计中。

Text description provided by the architects. This is a residential area where the magnificent nature still remains. The site is situated on a sloped land among natural forest. Two large trees with beautifully shaped branches (one is a camphor tree and the other a cherry tree) stand on top of the site. These trees are integrated into the residential design.

整个场地都是陡峭的倾斜，顶部和底部之间的距离约为11米。由岩层组成的地面非常坚硬。考虑到这些景观条件，我们决定沿着倾斜的地面放置体积，以尽量减少挖掘。

The entire site is steeply sloped, and the gap between the top and the bottom is as large as approximately 11 meters. And the ground composed of a rock bed is extremely hard. Considering these landscape conditions, we decided to place volumes along the sloped ground to minimize excavation.

为了提供最好的景观，主空间位于顶层，其他内部空间沿斜坡连接到街道水平。我们设计了与景观相关的空间序列，在等高线上放置了三个体积。

In order to provide the best view, the main spaces are located on the top floor and the other interior spaces are connected along the slope down to the street level. We designed the spatial sequence in relation to the landscape by placing three volumes along contour lines.

上面的音量正好放在两棵大树的下面。客厅里有一个天窗，可以看到上面的树。北面的音量分配给浴室。较低层的空间包括一楼的私人房间和屋顶上的木制露台，可从起居室进入。我们在三个卷的交汇处放置与地面同样倾斜的楼梯。楼梯空间被用作图书馆，而楼梯的设计是为了容纳大量的书籍。

The upper volume is placed right underneath the two large trees. A skylight is provided in the living room to see the trees above. The volume on the north is allocated for bathroom. The volume on the lower level contains private rooms on the first floor and a wood decked terrace on the roof, accessible from the living room. We place stairs with the same inclination as the ground at the intersection of the three volumes. The stair space is used as a library, while the stairs are designed to accommodate a large number of books.

通过沿景观设计这三个卷，可以产生不同的活动，人们可以享受独特的空间序列。

By designing the three volumes along the landscape, diverse activities are generated and one can enjoy unique spatial sequences as they are.

在修车厂施工时，挖掘了相当大的一块岩石，并将其作为人行道上的外部修整物和入口通道上的台阶进行重新使用。

A sizeable volume of rock was excavated upon construction of the garage, and it is reused as exterior finish on pavements and steps along the entryway.
