这是神户住宅区的父母。该遗址似乎是一个山洞，南面有一栋公寓楼，西面有一栋公寓楼，北面有一条小径，两米高，沿着后面的山边。我们研究的建筑符合这样的特殊的场地条件，以及整体环境的延伸的看法，市区和海洋以外，山的性质正好在后面。

This is my parentsf house uptown Kobe. The site appeared to be a cave-in with an apartment house on the south and another on the west, and on the north a path runs, two meters leveled up, along the side of the mountain behind. We studied to find architecture worthy of such particular site conditions as well as the overall environment of extending view of the downtown and the sea beyond and the nature of the mountain just behind.

通过检查这种特殊位置的路径的调节挫折极限，我们提出了平行四边形截面结构的概念。然而，随着平行四边形的成长，尽管它超出了道路的水平，但人们预计它会对过路人造成压倒性的破坏，并将其分为两部分，即东住房和西住房。两者之间的空隙被用作楼梯井。

Through checking the limit of regulation setback from the path for the site of such peculiarity an idea of a structure with parallelogram cross section occurred to us. As growing up the parallelogram as it is beyond the level of the path, however, was anticipated to be overwhelming to the passers-by and to violate the environment, it was divided into two parts, namely east housing and west housing. The void in between the two was used for a stairwell.

两座住宅的南侧结构连接，屋顶和阳台延伸至双曲线抛物面壳结构，与相邻的公寓楼相结合，在下面有一个舒适的空间，就像一个小庭院。

The south side of the two housings were made structurally connected, and the roof and balcony are extended to resemble hyperbolic paraboloidal shell construction, resulting in a comfortable space below like a little courtyard in association with the neighboring apartment houses.

由于附近的小径都是倾斜的，通往楼梯井的路是故意倾斜的。斜坡延伸通过楼梯井楼层，这有助于稳固地下室的足够高的天花板，同时安装电梯从一楼到三楼。

The approach to stairwell was intentionally sloped up as the paths nearby were all sloped. The slope was extended through the stairwell floor, which helped secure basements with sufficient height of ceiling while installing an elevator from the first floor to the third.

整个房子都有九间各具特色的房间。穿过它们会令人眼花缭乱地改变局面。你可能在巷子里，在山洞里，或者在屋顶上。楼梯间就像一条两旁都有住房的小巷。楼梯井的地板倾斜。墙壁上的大图中的地面也是倾斜的。一个过大的天窗正在使外面和内部均匀。家具与楼梯结合在一起。镜子正在引入天空或群山的绿色。洗脸台似乎是镜子里的餐桌。所有这些都会使你意识的焦点受到阻碍，甚至公寓的墙壁和上面的空调，等等。似乎在某种程度上漂浮在空中，因此会有一种平静的感觉。

The whole house is provided with nine rooms of features peculiar to each. Walking through them would change the scene dizzily. You might be in an alley, in a cave or on a rooftop. The stairwell is like an alley with housing on both sides. The floor of stairwell is inclined. The ground in the large picture on the wall is also inclined. An excessively large skylight is homogenizing the outside and the inside. Pieces of furniture are combined with stairs. Mirrors are introducing the sky or the green of the mountains. A washstand seems to be a dining table in the mirror. All these would cause the focus of your consciousness to be parried, and accordingly even the wall of the apartment house and the air conditioners thereon, etc. would seem to be somehow floating in the air, and thus would be felt kind of peaceful.

令人惊讶的是，在这四个季节里，人们都经历了舒适的生活条件。三楼起居室的空气在冬季通过天窗吸收太阳辐射，夏季则使空调无法用藤叶遮挡天窗，利用重力和微风通过窗户通风。

Surprisingly comfortable thermal condition of living has been experienced throughout the four seasons. The air in the living room on the third floor absorbed solar radiation through the skylight in winter, and in summer it made air conditioners useless to shade the skylight with the leaves of vine and to utilize ventilation by gravitation and breeze through windows.

一个促成因素将是神户的气候，那里的山和海交汇。这个例子可能暗示了亚洲季风区特有的建筑理念。

A contributable factor will be the climate of Kobe where the mountains and the sea meet. This example may hint an idea for architecture in peculiar to Asian monsoon region.
