架构师提供的文本描述。这幢房客大楼位于住宅区，与青山大道一个街区外的狭窄街道相对，与沿途的一些高层建筑形成鲜明对比。在这两个尺度之间的差距中，我们的目标是以一种不属于这两个尺度的方式来站立。

Text description provided by the architects. This tenant building is in the residential neighborhood facing the narrow street from one block away from Aoyama Ave, by contrast to a number of tall buildings along the way. Situated in this gap between these two scales, we aim to stand the one in a way that doesn’ t belong to both of these scales.

建筑物的形状是相当弯曲的天空，就像一个胃被伸出，这不允许人们说出它有多少层楼从街道上往上看。两扇开在每一层的有缝图案的窗户的设计也使得刻度变得不清楚。阳光照在弯曲的外墙上，就像渐变，而在房间里，阳光从窗户流进来。基于“抽象”的概念，我们设计了一种新的建筑与人的接触方式。

The shape of the building is fairly bent skywards, like a stomach being stuck out forward, which does not allow people to tell how many stories it has in looking up the building from the street. The design of two slit patterned windows that opens on each level also makes unclear the scale. Sunlight reflected on the curved outer wall like gradation, while inside of the room it streams in through the windows. Based on the concept of “abstraction “,we design a new way of the encounter between architecture and people.
