这座房子位于雅吉山山区，位于裕塞川河阶地的南面。它是自1960年昭和时代伊始，从基岩上剥落而发展起来的历史住宅区。该网站周围是房子，公寓，和附近的房子，客户的儿子家住，所以客户要求生活在隐私，但阳光和微风的房子，同时考虑与附近的房子联系。

The house is located in Yagiyama hilly district which lies south of a Hirosegawa river terrace. It is a historical residential area developing from the beginning of showa era 1960 by scraping off bedrock. The site is surrounded by houses, apartment, and a nearby house which client's son family is living, so the clients requested living in privacy, but a sunny and breezy house while considering connection with the nearby house.

为了与周围环境保持适当的距离，我首先决定把音量放在场地的中间。我没有在外墙上开窗户，而是从书中抽出了四个空间作为露台：入口、一扇通往主楼的侧门、一间明亮的洗澡间，以及一个花园空间，把客厅和卧室轻轻地隔开了。然后，在这些空间设置高或小的窗户允许日光与良好的通风，同时保持隐私。至于屋顶，我切断了中央空间四个角落的斜坡，以适应周围的房屋；此外，还有一个天窗可以释放热空气，促进自然通风。

To take appropriate distances from the surroundings,first I decided to put volume at the middle of the site. Instead of no window at outer walls, I took out four spaces as terraces from the volume: the entrance, a side door connecting to main house, a bright wash room, and a garden space softly divides living room and bedroom. Then setting high or small windows in those spaces allows daylight in with good ventilation while keeping privacy. As for the roof, I cut off the slope at the four corner of central volume to adjust to surrounding houses; besides, there is a skylight to release hot air and prompt natural ventilation.

由同等布置的房间形成的平面形状，包括外部露台，给人的印象是空间是无限的。另一方面，由于每个房间都有不同的规格，从外部到内部，木质颜色到无机白色，平顶到倾斜天花板，空间表达方式一直在变化。它就像非洲音乐一样，通过同时播放不同的节奏，有着独特的声音，也就是说，雅吉山宫是通过将每个空间的个体节奏结合在一起，作为建筑创造出来的。这种建筑产生了各种各样的时间和空间，所以每一个客户每天都能找到他们每个人都感到舒适的地方，比如他们的孙子们快乐地到处跑，感受微风的家庭晚餐，在阳光下读书，或者在星空下洗澡。我希望这座建筑能够实现空间的“起伏”，让人有创意和迷人的生活。

The flat shape formed by equivalently arranged rooms including exterior terraces gives an impression that the space is unending. On the other hands, the space expression is ever changing since each room has various specifications; exterior to interior; woody color to inorganic white color; and flat ceiling to inclined ceiling. It is like African music which has a unique sound by playing various rhythm at the same time, that is to say, Yagiyama house is created as architecture by combining individual rhythm of each space. This kind of architecture is producing various time and space from moment to moment, so every day each client can find the place where each of them feels comfortable; such as the moment their grand children happily running around, family dinner with feeling a breeze, reading under the sunshine, or bath time under the star-filled sky. I hope this architecture achieved "fluctuation" of space which allows creative and fascinating life.
