架构师提供的文本描述。在住宅小区内，我们设计了钢筋混凝土4层楼的住宅，其中有一栋低矮的公寓楼和一栋带有小阳台的新房。在日本，尤其是东京的中心，彼此相邻的房子非常接近工地边界。虽然它是我们希望正面道路开放的地方，但面对彼此的地点却是相同的条件。

Text description provided by the architects. In the residential area which have a low-rise building apartment complex and new houses with small  balconies, we designed RC 4-floor house. In Japan, especially the centre of Tokyo, the house next  to each other extremely approaches the site boundary. Although it is the place where we want to  expect the openness to the frontal road necessarily, the site facing each other is the same  condition.

有小阳台，和眼罩的播种机。可以毫不夸张地说，阳台对居住区人群中的城市景观有很大的影响，2米深的阳台成了道路的缓冲地带，起到了屋檐的作用。

There are small balconies, and the planters for blindfolds. It is not exaggeration even  if it is said that balconies influence the cityscape in the crowd place of the residential area. The balcony with the depth of 2m becomes the buffer area with the road and takes the function of  eaves.

保持足够的阳台深度，使植物变得野性，它比上面的阳台还要高，并把它抬起来。我们认为阳台不仅对室内有良好的影响，而且可以成为新的城市景观。

Getting plants grown wild by keeping enough depth of the balconies, it is higher than an  upper balcony and brought it up. We suggest that the balconies have a beneficent influence to not  only the interior, and it enable to become the new cityscape.
