架构师提供的文本描述。双砖，由两个翅膀组成-一个五个单元出租住宅和业主自己的两个家庭的房子。它位于一个安静的住宅区，距东京仅20分钟车程。为了获得一些空间供车主收集汽车，业主的机翼(RC翼)比租赁翼(S翼)更靠近道路。租赁翼覆盖两个蒸压轻质混凝土(ALC)面板以及玻璃块。

Text description provided by the architects. Twin Bricks, consists of two wings - A five unit rental dwelling and the owner’s own two-family house. It is located in a quiet residential area, just 20 minutes by train from Tokyo. In order to secure some space for the owner’s car collection, the owner’s wing (RC Wing) stands closer to the road than the rental wing (S Wing). The rental wing is clad in both autoclaved lightweight concrete (ALC) panels as well as glass blocks.

S翼，基于先前完成的“水晶砖”房屋，引入ALC面板作为抗震单元，以提高在地震安全面前的成本效益。通过一系列的实验，得出了玻璃块和ALC板的排列方式。结果表明，ALC板失效，玻璃块完好无损，为乘员提供了更高的安全性。一个有趣的空间组成物化，因为表面上随机的组成玻璃块和ALC面板，隐藏了所有的结构。

The S Wing, based on the previously completed “Crystal Brick” House, introduces ALC panels as aseismatic elements in order to improve cost-effectiveness in the face of earthquake safety. The arrangement of glass block and ALC panel was derived from a series of experiments. The results showed that the ALC panel fail leaving the glass blocks intact, providing enhanced safety for the occupants. An intriguing spatial composition materializes due to the seemingly random composition of the glass block and ALC Panels which hide all structure.

为了减轻车库的噪音，为业主提供一种隐私感，Atelier Tekuto有限公司。提出了“钢筋混凝土结构外保温”的施工方法。通过引入高压木羊毛水泥板并将其整合为形式工程，大大降低了成本。经过仔细考虑，还开发了原瓷砖。双重砖块的整体经验是由重型钢筋混凝土机翼和轻S翼并置和之间的透明度玻璃与不透明的ALC面板。虽然这些材料似乎是对立的，但它们在合作时表现出一种物质上的和谐。

With the purpose of alleviating noise from the garage and providing a sense of privacy for the owners, Atelier Tekuto Co., Ltd. created the “RC structure + exterior thermal insulation” construction method. Costs were significantly reduced by introducing high-pressure wood wool cement boards and integrating the boards as form works. Original tiles were also developed after careful consideration. The overall experience of Twin Bricks is heightened by the juxtaposition of the heavy RC wing and light S wing and between the transparency of glass versus the opacity of the ALC panels. Though these materials seem to be in antithesis, they exhibit a material harmony when partnered together.
