长方形的房子位于东京的一处宁静的住宅区里，朝南，后面有一个花园。在房子前面几米处，建造了一堵混凝土墙，为这座玻璃外墙房子提供了足够的隐私，同时保持了一种开放的感觉。

Situated in a calm residential area of Setagaya, Tokyo, the rectangular house faces southward, with a garden at the rear. Several meters in front of the house, a concrete wall has been constructed to provide sufficient privacy to the glass-façade house, while retaining a sense of openness.

墙有三种不同的功能。首先也是最重要的，它阻碍视线从街道。第二，它是通往住宅区的大门。这扇门是在墙上打开的人形天窗，让人想起了传统日本茶室的入口。第三，墙与房子之间的空间创造了一个开放的门廊，可供私人使用。

The wall functions in three different ways. First and foremost, it impedes the line of sight from the street. Secondly, it acts as a gate to the residential area. The gate, a human scale opening in the wall, is reminiscent of the entrance to a traditional Japanese tearoom. And thirdly, the space between the wall and the house creates an open porch which can be used in private.

墙前的区域是用混凝土铺成的，用作停车位。几块木板在不同的高度突出以制造障碍，而另一个部分则为自行车提供天气保护。

The area in front of the wall is paved with concrete for use as a parking space. Several slabs protrude at different heights to create barriers, whilst a separate section offers weather protection for bicycles.

从房子里面，居民可以欣赏到南面的门廊和北边的花园。在一楼没有隔断的情况下，人们总是有一种开放的感觉。这座房子一整天都能接收到各种来源的自然光：南方的阳光直射；北方的柔和、扩散的光线；以及从天花板的正方形开口进入的光线。进入空间的三种类型的光的性质在一天中不断变化。

From inside the house, the residents can enjoy the views of both the porch to the south, and the garden to the north. With no partition on the first floor, there is a constant feeling of openness. The house receives natural light from various sources throughout the day: direct sun light from the south; gentle, diffused light from the north; and light entering through a square opening in the ceiling. The nature of the three types of light that enter the space is changing constantly throughout the day.
