架构师提供的文本描述。该项目涉及重建一个单一的地块与现有的一层独立的木屋，位于一个安静的居民区。由于这一地区的许多其他建筑物最近也进行了翻修，我们希望以一种新的、更新的形式保留这所房子的规模和本世纪中叶的年份，以及稍微与时代不符的特点。

Text description provided by the architects. This project involved rebuilding a single plot with an existing wooden, one-storey detached house located in a quiet residential neighborhood. As many of the other buildings in the area had also been recently refurbished, we wanted to preserve the scale of the house and the midcentury vintage and slightly anachronistic character of the neighborhood in a new, updated form.

日本传统民居中的花园和庭院用来将他们居住的建筑物与人们和周围的居民联系起来。这种联系感有助于缓解幽闭恐惧症和压迫的感觉-这是由这些“间隔”空间所完成的功能(日本文中的ma)。通过留下明确定义的空白和空隙，这些ma允许不同的和异质的元素共存，同时保持它们之间的和谐感。

 Gardens and courtyards in traditional Japanese houses used to connect the buildings they were housed in to people and the surrounding neighborhood. This sense of connection helped to relieve feelings of claustrophobia and oppressiveness – a function fulfilled by these “gap” spaces (ma in Japanese). By leaving gaps and empty spaces that are ambiguously defined, these ma allow diverse and heterogeneous elements to coexist alongside each other while maintaining a sense of harmony between them.

一个包含了这些差距的家成为一个交流的空间，它传达了一种明显的居民的个性和存在感，使他们能够奢侈地生活在一个给予他们一种解放感、情感自由和放松感的环境中。此外，提供充足的自然光和充足的通风，确保舒适的生活环境。我们希望通过使这种与外界联系的感觉更加明显，而不是将外部完全隔绝于房子的内部，而是希望培养一种悠闲的生活方式，使身心都放松。

A home that incorporates these gaps within it becomes a space of communication that conveys a palpable sense of the personality and presence of the inhabitants, allowing them the luxury of living in an environment that gives them a sense of liberation, of emotional freedom and ease. In addition, the provision of generous natural light and ample ventilation ensures a comfortable living environment. Rather than isolating and shutting out the exterior entirely from the interior of the house, we hoped to foster a leisurely lifestyle that would relax both the mind and body by making this sense of connection to the outside world more palpable.
