架构师提供的文本描述。卢浮宫位于北海道札幌市，是一个四口之家的住宅区。近年来，开发商开始在该地区建造几个高层共管公寓，这可能是因为地理位置和周围环境便利。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in Sapporo City, Hokkaido, the Louver House is a residential commission for a family of four. In recent years, developers have started building several high-rise condominiums in the area, perhaps because of the convenient location and access to the surrounding environment.

因此，场地条件远非理想。此外，客户的要求我们为一个四口之家设计一个舒适的居住空间，有两辆车的停车位，所有这些都在面积仅为74.36平方米的狭小区域内。

As a result, the site conditions were far from ideal. In addition, the client’s demands required us to design a comfortable living space for a family of four with parking space for two cars, all within a narrow plot measuring only 74.36 sqm.

从前面的街道往上看房子，可以看到两层的空间。通过设计一种建筑形式，考虑到相邻的建筑结构，消除外墙对街道造成的恐吓感，我们得以创造出一座与其环境无缝融合的房屋。

Looking up at the house from the street out in front reveals a two-layered volume of space. By designing a building form that takes into account the neighboring structures and eliminating the sense of intimidation that the façade presents to the street, we were able to create a house that blends seamlessly into its setting.

安装在所有外墙上的木制百叶窗，既能阻挡外界视线，又能确保居民的视野畅通无阻。虽然房子最初看起来是封闭和隐居的，但夜晚透过百叶窗的柔和光线将周围的环境包裹在柔和的光芒中。

Wooden louvers installed on all the exterior walls serve to obstruct lines of sight from the outside while also ensuring that residents have unobstructed views from within. Although the house initially appears to be closed and reclusive, the soft light that seeps through the louvers at night wraps their surroundings in a gentle glow.

虽然进入房屋的大部分光线只能通过略高于7米的街道正面开放，但百叶窗和封闭的室内露台确保了建筑物内部的开放感。

Although most of the light that enters the house can only do so through the frontage opening onto the street that measures slightly more than 7 meters, the louvers and enclosed indoor terrace ensure a feeling of openness within the interior of the building. 

这些特征也让居民们能够享受到北纬这一高纬度四季的微妙变化，以及北海道的自然美景。

These features also allow the inhabitants to enjoy the subtle shifts in the four seasons at this high northern latitude, as well as the natural beauty of Hokkaido that changes from one moment to another.
