架构师提供的文本描述。这座宅邸坐落在福井的乡间风光上，是为一对带着孩子的年轻夫妇和他的祖母而建的。

Text description provided by the architects. Sitting on the rural scenery of Fukui, this residence was created for a young couple with a child, and his grandmother.

房子在地面上轻轻地漂浮，由两个纯粹的几何体积组成，就像一个箱涵。在36米长的白色空间里，两个家庭分开居住，共用一个大花园。西边是夫妻的房子，东边是祖母的房子。

Softly floating above the ground, the house consists of two pure geometric volumes, like a box-culvert. In the white volume of 36m long, two families live separately, sharing a large garden. The west side is the couple’s house and the east side is the grandmother’s house.

在北部，一个较小的灰色空间6m×6m x3.6m用作一个公共的入口门廊和停车场，以防止下雪。

To the north, a smaller gray volume of 6m x 6m x 3.6m works as a common entrance porch and car park, protecting from snow.

沿着盒子的全部长度，所有的室内空间都是以一种流畅的方式排列的，没有走廊，也没有最小的理性设计。因此，所有的社会区域都聚集在一个开放的空间里，在那里，平行于南面窗户的长长的柜台充当一个关键的多功能元素，可以作为厨房、餐桌或研究桌。

Along the box’s total lenght, all the interior spaces are arranged in a fluid way, with no corridors and a minimal rational design. Thus, all the social areas come together in an open space, where the long counters, parallel to the south windows, act as a key multifunctional element, working either as a kitchen, a dining table or a study desk.

至于私人卧室，我们可以透过所有这些指定的休憩用地进入。

As for the private bedrooms, one is able to access them through all these referred open space areas.

面对南面，房子与外部保持着持续的关系，不断地将景观设计成景观。所有的室内空间都与花园相连，与外部融为一体，因此，通过一系列丰富的环境来改造室内生活，一年到头-M住宅变得无边无际。

Facing south, the house maintains a continuous relation with the exterior, constantly framing the views towards the landscape. Fully open to the wide natural green, all interior spaces connect with the garden, blending in with the exterior and, therefore, transforming interior living with a series of rich environments throughout the year – M residence becomes boundless.

只有浴室面对一个内部的私人法庭。房子的组成保持了两个家庭之间的适当距离，同时温柔地将它们结合在一起。

Only bathrooms face to an inner private court. The composition of the house keeps the proper distance between the two families, combining them gently at the same time.
