架构师提供的文本描述。在东京一个平静的住宅区内，这座房子有两个截然不同的面孔：一个是一间亲密的、内向的、封闭的、有庭院的房子，另一个是向外看的、开放的温室。

Text description provided by the architects. Within a calm residential area in Tokyo, this house has the two contrasting faces: an intimate, introverted, closed house with courtyard and an outward looking, open glasshouse above.

主立面上一堵厚厚的玻璃高墙将阳光照进了门厅，从那里可以进入LDK的房间。

大庭院位于北面，与LDK隔开，对面是儿童房和主卧室。这个小庭院被放置在浴室和厕所里，打断了人们的视线。立方体庭院完全封闭于社区，间接地将这些中等大小的房间连接起来，营造了一种团结感，同时提供了舒适、宽敞的居住环境；通风良好，阳光充足，与季节变化相连接。

The large courtyard is bounded on the North by the LDK and on the opposite side the children’s room and master bedroom. The small courtyard is placed for the bathroom and the toilets, interrupting the eyes. Totally closed toward the neighborhood, the cubic courtyard connects these modestly sized rooms indirectly, creating a sense of togetherness, while providing a comfortable, spacious living environment; well ventilated, filled with sunlight and connected to the changing seasons.

相比之下，三楼有玻璃的顶层公寓和屋顶露台都是向城市完美开放的。

In contrast, the 3rd floor glazed penthouse and a roof top terrace are perfectly opened towards the city.
