架构师提供的文本描述。这是20世纪20年代建造的一座房子的翻修，水管周围是一排排老房子。房子的正面是4.1米，深度是12.8米，就像所谓的“鳗鱼熟睡之地”。因为隔壁的房子太近了，即使在白天，房子里也很黑。这所房子以前曾多次遭到不合理的翻修，以致于失去了重要的柱子和墙壁。

Text description provided by the architects. This was the renovation of a house which was built in the 1920’s and the hose was surrounded by old rows of houses. The house with a frontage of 4.1meters and depth of 12.8 meters was like so-called ‘sleeping places of an eel’. Because next building was way too close, inside of the house was so dark even though in the daytime. The house had been illogically renovated at several times before so that important pillars and walls were missed.

一位居民希望生活在家具和绘画中。一个工作室，卫生和家庭办公室被插入作为结构的卷。这些不仅是为了加固房屋，而且也是为了轻轻地将空间划分为上下、左和右。

A resident hoped to live with furniture and paintings. A studio, sanitary, and home office were inserted as volumes of the structure. Those intended not only to reinforce the house but also to softly divide spaces to up and down and left and right.

整个图像是从被广泛打开的开口和狭缝中瞥见的，而卷本身也被涂上了白色，这样纹理就可以在视觉上站起来，以表示深度和范围。

The whole image was glimpsed from openings and slits which were widely opened and the volumes itself were painted with white color so that the texture could visually stand up to indicate the depth and extent.

工作室的前部从百叶窗变成了窗户。它作为一个反射器，可以将自然的闪电射入室内，使之扩散到所有的光线中，从而转变为学习到屋顶的反射材料。此外，它还涉及到亮度随时间的变化。

The front of the studio opened to allay was changed from a shutter to windows. To change to the well reflective material of learn-to roof, it functioned as a reflector and could get the natural lightning to the inside so it diffused to bright all. Also, it was concerned the transition of brightness by time.

现有结构为任意移位，新插入的结构和补强漆成白色。这些都是在时间的背景下产生的，但从功能上来说，这意味着这些事物自然地混合在一起，没有任何冲突。轻轻分割的空间可能会被任何发现的生活，工作室和家庭办公室作为扩展，家具和绘画的因素，这可能会在未来增加。

The existing structure was arbitrary shifted and newly inserted structures and reinforcements were painted with white color. Those were created the context of time but functionally which meant to indicate those things mixed naturally without any conflicts. The softly divided space may be able to use by any discoveries for the living, studio, and home office as extension with the factor of furniture and paintings which may increase in the future.
