没有屏蔽，只有天空遮住了我们。我们的第一印象是“在日本熟悉的地方”，但我们也认为这种同一性是这个地区的相当特征。我们开始考虑建筑方案，使房子能够按当地的比例发展。我们建议建造涉及有机联系和生活方式的房子。为了做到这一点，我们在现场放置了一堵锯齿状的墙。锯齿状的墙形成分隔的空间。每个空间由墙壁覆盖3面，另一侧向地面开放。内部和外部由锯齿形墙连接。

There is no shielding, only the sky covers us. Our first impression was 'familiar place in Japan', but we also thought this kind of homologousness is rather character of this area. We began to thought the building plan that enables the house to develop in proportion to the local. We propsed to construct the house which involves organic connection and lifestyle in it. To do so, we placed one zigzag wall on the site. The Zigzag wall makes divided spaces. Each spaces are covered 3 sides by walls, and 1 side is opened to the grounds. The inside and outside are connected by Zigzag wall.

墙在外面，墙在里面，墙在外面。私人空间由字形墙转变为开放空间。锯齿形墙也产生了良好的效果，如风和阳光从外面。我们注意到光圈，一个是不引人注目的，另一个是突出的。通过这样做，我们成功地使建筑物变得更加锋利。

The wall located outside goes to the inside, the wall located inside goes to the out side. The private space changes to open space by Zigzag wall. Zigzag wall also produced good results such as wind and sunlight from outside. we paid attention to aperture, one is not noticeable, and the other is highlight. By doing so, we succeeded to make sharp and sharper in the building.

此外，我们还对孔径的尺度进行了细致的研究。我们希望通过开发建筑中的各种顺序来创造适合他们生活方式的地方。生活的空间应该由固定的节奏组成，而不是抽象的概念。因此，我们终于成功地表达了有机的建筑风格。

Also, we investigated the scale of aperture minutely. We want to create suitable place with their life style by developing various sequence in the building. The place of life should be composed of constant rｈythm, not abstract concept. Thus, we finally succeeded to express organic architectural style.

锯齿形住宅与封闭的宫廷风格是完全不同的，它使居民能够与周围环境、家庭和结构变化等一切生活在一起。锯齿状的房子展示了每个人的生活方式。

Zigzag house is completely different from court house style which shuts to the surround, that enables resident to live with everything which includes surroundings, family and changing of the structure. Zigzag house shows the way of life for everyone.
