尽管统计数据显示，东京的人口将在2015年达到顶峰，因此有可能引发前所未有的廉价中央住宅空间供应，但郊区的扩张仍在继续。在地价高企的情况下，对于普通家庭来说，任何可以负担得起的地皮都不是很大，他们110至140平方米的低成本房屋几乎总是占据最大可建面积。这些开发项目的密度变得如此之大，以至于那些本应围绕在房子周围的花园仅仅是剩馀的东西，里面有所有未经过滤的机械垃圾。然而，一个独立的房子仍然是永恒的梦想。(尽管现在仍相当“独立”，但近邻的建设很可能在明年内完成。)

Despite statistics indicating that Tokyo’s population will peak in 2015, and thus potentially trigger an unheard-of availability of inexpensive central residential space, the suburban sprawl continues. With land prices high, any plot affordable for the average family is far from big, their 110-140m² low-cost houses almost always occupying the maximum buildable area. The density in these developments is becoming so unforgiving that what are supposed to be gardens surrounding the houses are mere leftovers featuring all the building’s unfiltered machinery junk. And yet, a detached house remains the perennial dream. (While still rather 'free-standing' now, the construction of immediate neighbours is likely to happen within the next year.)

撇开一个更大的问题，以这种低层土地吸收方式进行建筑是否可取，一个典型方法的策略必须集中于解决外部空间最大化的二分法，同时被周边建筑的杂乱所包围。这第一个案例研究提出的住房，最大限度地扩大其周长，并向内部开放。两个U形的体积堆叠在一起，并连接在一起，创造了一个中心花园周围的流动居住空间。然而，不关闭这个内部花园，交替的体积方向允许空气流经和自然通风建筑物，大大减少在该地区著名的炎热夏天的冷却负荷。室内空间在不明确的水平上不断地围绕着这个中庭流动，内部高度不同，从而增加了房子的感知大小。

Putting aside the larger question whether building in this low-rise landabsorbing fashion is desirable, strategies for a prototypical approach must focus on solving the dichotomy of maximising outside space whilst being surrounded by a display of the neighbouring buildings’ clutter. This first case study proposes housing that maximises its perimeter and opens up towards the inside. Two U-shaped volumes are stacked on top of each other and joined to create fluid spaces of living around a central garden. Yet instead of closing off this inner garden, alternating the orientation of the volumes allows for air to flow through and naturally ventilate the building, drastically reducing cooling load during the area's notoriously hot summers. The interior space flows continuously around this atrium on ambiguous levels, internal heights vary and thereby increase the perceived size of the house.

当剩余的缺口最终被克服时，中期发展可能会从独立的房屋环境转向住房环境，而这些缺口仅仅是建筑法规规定的挫折的产物。

When eventually the still remaining gaps, which are but mere artefacts from building regulations stipulating setbacks, are conquered, the midterm development might be a move from detached house to housing environments.
