架构师提供的文本描述。该遗址位于东京中心附近。这是一个小的44平方米的角落地块，以两条街道为界。符合法律条件，并响应客户的愿望‘屋顶车库’，体积被从不同的方向削减。Atelier Tekuto以“矿物”和“反射”作为指导概念，继续使用减法作为设计的积极工具。

Text description provided by the architects. The site is located near the center of Tokyo. It is a small 44m2 corner plot bounded by two streets. Conforming to legal conditions and in response to the client’s wish for a ‘roofed garage’ the volume was trimmed from various directions. Using the words ‘Mineral’ and ‘reflection’ as guiding concepts, Atelier Tekuto proceeded to use subtraction as a positive tool for design.

矿物是将抽象属性(概念对象)与非具象属性(物质存在更为有形的物体)结合在一起的现象。从透明到半透明到不透明的变化是根据光的强度和角度而发生的。矿体不能看作是一个简单的元素。

Minerals are phenomena that combine abstract properties (conceptual objects) with nonfigurative properties (objects whose presence of matter is more tangible). Changes from transparent to translucent to opaque occur according to light intensity and angle. The mineral body cannot be regarded as a simple element.

反射是最近关于空间感知的一个概念。视觉是认识空间的一个重要因素。通过控制几何(三个方面的透明，半透明和不透明)，并将它们以三维方式缠绕在内部空间中，从而诱导视觉反射。这就偏离了空间的限制性。

Reflection is a recent concept pertaining to the perception of space. Vision is an important factor in the recognition of space. By controlling geometries (facets with three factors: transparent, translucent and opaque) and entangling them in a three-dimensional way inside the internal space, visual reflection is induced. This results in a deviation from the restrictiveness of space.

当人们在空间内移动，或者当光从变化的角度进入时，小面的存在就会发生变化，创造出一个动态的空间。相对于多面体的抽象性，厨房、柜台架、楼梯、地板和厕所盒都配备了作为非具象对象的功能。三楼浴室单元采用不锈钢镜面装饰，将物体和反射的概念结合在一起，作为“矿物”和“反射”的替代物。

As people move inside the space, or as light enters from changing angles, the facet’s presence changes, creating a dynamic space. In contrast to the abstractness of the polyhedron are the kitchen, counter shelf, stairs, floors and toilet box equipped with functionality that exist as nonfigurative objects. The third floor bathroom unit features a mirror finish in stainless steel, which combines both concepts of object and reflection, and presents itself as a substitution of both ‘minerals’ and ‘reflection’.

与周围环境的关系体现在向街道开放的小广场上，这是一个在把车库放在一楼后出现的像飞行员一样的空间。它的解放感可能会引发周围街景的一些变化。

The Relationship with the surrounding environment is expressed in the small plaza open to the street, a piloti like space that emerged after placing the garage on ground floor. Its liberating feeling might trigger some change in the surrounding streetscape.
