该项目位于东京郊区一个密集的住宅区，居住着新旧建筑的混合体。由于我们的客户想要一个有开放感的空间，我们主要关心的是如何确保隐私和与周围环境的和谐感。

This project was located in a dense residential area of suburban Tokyo populated by a mix of new and older buildings. As our client wanted a space with a feeling of openness, our main concern was how to ensure both privacy and a sense of harmony with the surroundings.

这座白宫坐落在东北角的一块地块上，它的外部是封闭的，两边只有一系列连续的水平窗户，挡住了外界的视线。环形机翼墙从入口顶部大胆地向外凸出，这也容纳了一个停车位，创造了一个半室外空间，类似于一个柱状结构。这中间的区域，微妙地在外部和内部之间，产生了一个衡量和平衡的隐私感。

This white house, which stands on a northeastern corner plot, projects a closed-off exterior with only a continuous series of horizontal windows on each side, obstructing views from the outside looking in. The ring-shaped wing wall protruding boldly outwards from the top of the entrance, which also accommodates a parking space, creates a semi-outdoor space that resembles a pilotis structure. This intermediate zone, delicately poised between exterior and interior, produces a measured and balanced sense of privacy.

主卧室、儿童房和浴室位于一楼，而第二层则有一个很大的单人空间，用作家庭房间。刚性框架结构，其中包含了许多钢柱，使我们可以创建一个木结构房屋，其南面立面的窗户，可以打开所有的方式。

The master bedroom, children's room and bathroom are located on the first floor, while the second storey houses a large single space that serves as a family room. The rigid-frame structure that incorporates a number of steel posts within it allowed us to create a timber-framed house whose south-facing facade features windows that can be opened all the way.

环形外墙也能有效地遮挡窗外可见的混乱的城市景观。这一特殊的特征可以用来设计和“借用”屋外的空中景观，将其带入室内，同时也会阻碍视线的观察。阳台地板上的光栅允许光线照射到底层，同时也屏蔽了居民在地面上窥探外面的眼睛。

The ring-shaped outer wall also proved to be effective in shutting out the chaotic urban landscape visible from outside the windows. This particular feature served to frame and "borrow" the aerial landscape outside the house, bringing it into the interior while also obstructing lines of sight that might peer into it. The grating on the floor of the balcony admits light to the bottom floor, while also shielding the inhabitants from prying outside eyes at ground level.

与一楼的私人房间形成对比的是，悬臂式二层楼的中央公共空间呈现出一种像物体一样的存在。虽然这种配置在客厅和餐厅/厨房之间造成了松散的分离，但连续倾斜的天花板将整个空间统一起来，创造了一种安静的平静感。

In contrast to the private rooms on the first floor, the cantilevered second storey with its central public room projects an object-like presence. Although this configuration creates a loose separation between the living room and dining/kitchen, the continuous slanting ceiling serves to unite the entire space, creating a quiet sense of calm.
