架构师提供的文本描述。设计这座房子的重点是使它成为园艺的延伸。现场的土壤由一种均匀的软材料组成，覆盖周围地区。几个世纪以来，居住在这个地区的人们一直在把这片土地做成土堆，揉捏，烧成陶器。看着泥土，用你的手触摸它会带来一些情绪。我想让人们有机会在家里有这样宝贵的经历。

Text description provided by the architects. The focus in designing this house was to make it an extension of gardening. The soil at the site consists of a uniformly soft material that covers the surrounding area. People living in this region have been making this soil into mounds, kneading it and firing it into pottery for many centuries. Looking at the soil and touching it with your hands brings about certain emotions. I wanted to give people the opportunity to have this precious experience while living in the home.

该遗址位于海洋和山脉之间，可以看到地平线上的游艇和其他船只，海边，悬崖上有美丽的泥土层和充满野花的田野。该房产的所有者住在东京的一栋高层共管公寓里，想在周末与大自然亲近，花时间园艺。三口之家的要求包括一个大的一个房间的住宅，在那里可以享受丰富的自然环境，一个钢筋混凝土结构，能够抵御地震，和一个木甲板平台的一侧，面向海洋。

The site is located between the ocean and mountains, and has a view of yachts and other boats on the horizon, the seashore, cliffs with beautiful layers of earth and fields full of wildflowers. The owner of the property lives in a high-rise condominium in Tokyo, and wanted to be close with nature on the weekends, spending time gardening. The requests of the family of three consisted of a large one-room home where the rich natural environment could be enjoyed, a reinforced concrete structure capable of withstanding earthquakes, and a wood deck terrace on the side facing the ocean.

首先，按照业主的要求，结构采用钢筋混凝土，采用门形设计，允许轻柔的微风穿过，同时提供毗邻房屋和山海景观的隐私。屋面上安装了外保温材料，并在屋顶上放置了来自场地的土壤，以保护屋顶，种植天然草种以防止侵蚀。这就消除了使用屋顶材料的必要性，使建筑成本得以降低，并最大限度地减少了对环境的影响。混凝土墙需要涂上涂层，以防止海岸上的场地固有的腐蚀。用硅藻土(又称硅藻土)、水泥和树脂混合覆盖屋顶的相同土壤，并应用于最大厚度为55毫米的墙壁上。

First, reinforced concrete was used for the structure as requested by the owner, with a gate shaped design allowing gentle breezes to pass through, while providing privacy from the adjoining houses and views of both the mountains and the sea. Exterior insulation was attached to the roof, and soil from the site was placed on top of the roof to protect it, with native grass seeds planted to prevent erosion. This eliminated the necessity of using a roofing material, enabling building costs to be reduced and minimizing impact on the environment. The concrete walls needed to be coated in order to prevent corrosion inherent in a site on the seacoast. The same soil that was used to cover the roof was mixed with diatomaceous earth (also known as diatomite), cement and resin, and applied to the walls with a maximum thickness of 55mm.

住在这所房子里的一家人帮忙，他们用木头、金属梳子、金属扫帚和桨在土壤上刮擦。由于砾石、贝壳和其他东西都与土壤混合在一起，所以每次挖掘土壤时都会出现一些东西，给人们带来了与考古挖掘相似的乐趣。由于这一过程包括不同的时间框架，当房屋的泥瓦匠和业主进行工作和留下不同的刮痕时，可以在表面看到土壤中的各种物体，使之看起来有不同层次的土壤从地面暴露出来。

The family that lives in the house helped, scraping on the soil with wood trowels, metal combs, metal brooms and paddles. Since gravel, seashells and other things were mixed in with the soil, something appeared every time soil was dug up, giving people enjoyment similar to that experienced on an archaeological dig. As a result of this process that included different time frames when the plasterers and owners of the house performed work and different scrape marks they left, various objects in the soil can be seen on the surface, giving it the appearance of having varying layers of soil exposed from the earth.

因此，决定这一结构的形态、结构和颜色的决定性因素都是由业主和工匠的手、场地的气候和土壤组成的自然要素。例如，框架和质地是由业主和工匠使用的工具所施加的力和土壤的硬度来决定的。墙壁的颜色是当地土壤和其他各种材料混合在一起的结果。屋顶的形状和颜色由土壤培育的植物决定。房子建成后，随着季节的变化，绿色植物被主人修剪，风带来的种子和鸟儿的发芽和生长，以及结构的变化。正是这种转变标志着这一家的历史。

Therefore, the decisive factors in determining the form, texture and color of this structure were all natural elements, consisting of the hands of the owners and craftsmen, the climate and the earth at the site. For example, the frame and texture were determined by the force applied with the tools used by the owners and craftsmen and the hardness of the soil. The color of the walls was a result of how the local soil and various other materials were mixed together. The profile and color of the roof were determined by the plants nurtured by the soil. After the house was completed, it continues change with the seasons when the greenery is pruned by the owners, the seeds carried by the wind and birds sprout and grow, and the structure weathers. It is this transition that marks the history of this one of a kind home.

主人们周末来看花园里的鲜花和蔬菜，凝视着墙壁和屋顶，并与花园的整体氛围进行互动。他们呆在这里的时间越长，离地球越近。这标志着土壤与日常生活关系的一个新的开始。

The owners come on the weekends, tend to their flowers and vegetables in the garden, gaze at the walls and roof, and interact with its overall ambiance. They longer they stay here, the closer they become to the earth. This represents a new beginning in the relationship between soil and daily life.
