架构师提供的文本描述。因为它位于一个只面向北方的非常小的空间里，为了避免直接面对对面的房子，为了尽量让光线进入小的光花园，这座房子的平面图是笨拙的六角形的。

Text description provided by the architects. Being located in a very small space facing only the north, and in order to avoid directly facing the house on the opposite side, also trying to get as much light as possible into the tiny light-garden, the flat plan of this house is awkwardly shaped in a hexagon.

它也被设计成一个多印象的效果，根据从街道上看房子的角度，结合两边的房子，有一个波浪式的屏幕状的表面。

It is also designed to create a multi-impression effect according to what angle the house is viewed from the street , combining the houses on both sides,by having a wavy byobu-screen-like surface.

第二层和第三层不是平坦的，设计有不同的层次，以便最大限度地扩大空中空间，但为了尽量减少间隔，楼层和柜台设置在同一层。

The second and third floors are not flat and designed with difference in levels in order to maximize aerial space , but in order to minimize separation the floor and the counter are set on the same level.

此外，一楼的书架、壁橱、水槽、浴缸，通常都是不同的元素，它们都与这所房子的一系列最小部件相连。

Also, the bookshelf, closet, sink, bath tub, on the first floor, which are all usually different elements are all connected with a string of minimum constituent parts in this house.

不要让每个设备采取不同的形式，也不为所有元素指定一个形状，而是使所有独立的部分连续地连接起来。

Not letting each apparatus take a different form, neither assigning one shape for all elements , but making all the separate parts continuously link.

由于所有具有假设用途的设备，如地板、书桌或架子，都提供了一个平坦的表面，通过沿着轮廓设置这些平面，我们已经能够呈现出一个出乎意料的宽敞的场景。

Since all devices with an assumed purpose, like the floor, a desk or shelf, offer a flat surface, by setting these flat surfaces along an outline we have been able to present an unexpectedly roomy scene.
