架构师提供的文本描述。场地面积450平方米，在东京很少见。北边有一座老房子，南边有一座花园。由于成本原因，新的建筑覆盖率估计在20%左右。因此，这个项目的概念是如何利用80%的外部空间。

我不想看花园，但想站在花园里。两个盒子，住宅和工作室位于大花园。为了把房子和花园混在一起，外墙是用玻璃做的。我在拐角处放了两个接触的盒子，在角落旁边放了一个小玻璃盒子。人们在两个盒子之间来来往往，看到外面的墙相互溶入花园。

I don't want to see the garden but feel like standing in the garden. Two boxes, residence and atelier are located in the large garden. To mix house and garden, the exterior wall are made by glass. I put two boxes with touching by the corner, and put a small glass box beside the corner. People are coming and going between two boxes, and are seeing exterior wall melting into the garden with each other.

外墙用玻璃覆盖木羊毛水泥板，花园在墙上反射。木羊毛水泥板涂上防水剂，白天变得与房间亮度相等。它给人的印象类似于墙壁和窗户。

The exterior wall are covered the wood wool cement board with the glass, and the garden reflected in the wall. The wood wool cement board is painted water-repellent, becomes brightness equal with the room in daytime. It makes similar impression of wall and window.
