Text description provided by the architects. MJ house was designed for a young couple of forestry engineers and their two children. It has 145 m2 and is built of wood and brick. The main idea revolves around the concept of house and landscape and how they relate to the two facades; the road and the rural scenery.

由于这座房子是从东京设计的，我们想要包括一些当地建筑的特色。我们在日本的房屋中看到的一件事，无论是传统的还是当代的，都是封闭的条件，使街道向内开放，这是日本社会公共和私人领域之间复杂关系的结果。受此启发，这座房子兼具两种条件，即紧靠公共道路，又对景观开放。

As this house was designed from Tokyo we wanted to include some features of the local architecture. One of the things we saw in the houses of Japan, both traditional and contemporary, is a closed condition to the street to open condition inward, a result of the complex relationship between the public and private realms of Japanese society. Inspired by this, the house has both conditions, closed to the public road and open to the landscape.

然而，我们想建议在这些反对的条件之间进行对话。这使得我们在屋顶上创造了一种重叠，并通过窗户、框架视图和光线的进入实现了双方之间的开放关系。因此，天花板成为房子的关键要素，它的运动和角度与在现有景观中产生最小影响的意图相对应。

However, we wanted to propose a dialogue between these opposed conditions. This led us to create an overlap on the roof and achieve an open relationship between the two sides through windows, framed views, and the access of light. Thus, the ceiling becomes the pivotal element of the house and its movements and angles correspond to an intention to generate a minimal impact within the existing landscape.

引入的另一个概念是日本人的“Engawa”或“介于”的概念，这是日本房屋的一个特点，在这种情况下，不同的层次充当了公共场所和亲密场所之间的门槛。因此，我们设计了一个露台，将两个主立面作为一个连续的单元，与地面相隔几英寸，使外部和内部之间有一个中间空间。

Another concept introduced was the Japanese idea of "Engawa" or "between", a characteristic of Japanese houses where different layers act as a threshold between public and intimate places. Therefore we designed a terrace that borders the two main facades as a continuous element, separated a few inches from the ground level allowing an intermediate space between the exterior and interior.
