In Japan, design company Horma recently got creative with the shape of a small apartment building featuring space efficient units in an attempt to avoid disturbing a stunning old garden that runs down one side. The result was a stunningly organized little renovation that disturbs almost nothing around it but provides a lovely dwelling for those who love innovative layout and living neat.

在日本，设计公司Horma最近以一座小公寓楼的形状获得了创意，这座公寓楼的空间效率很高，目的是避免干扰一座从一侧流过的令人惊叹的老花园。其结果是一次令人震惊的、有组织的小翻新，它几乎没有干扰周围的任何东西，但为那些热爱创新布局和整洁生活的人提供了一个可爱的住所。

Comprised of two main towers, this project contains 6 single story apartments in total. A central courtyard connects the towers, giving you access to any apartment no matter which tower you enter from. This lovely courtyard contains a circular shaped wooden deck that gives additional access to 4 of the units by their terraces. These lovely little outdoor balcony areas, one for each apartment, are afforded some privacy by a pretty lattice that separates the building visually from its neighbours.

该项目由两座主塔组成，共有6套单层公寓。一个中央庭院连接塔楼，让你进入任何公寓，无论你是从哪座塔。这个可爱的庭院里有一个圆形的木制甲板，可以通过他们的露台额外进入4个单元。这些可爱的小户外阳台区域，每套公寓一套，由一个漂亮的格子提供了一些隐私，它将建筑物与其邻居从视觉上隔开。

Terrace access is hardly the best part of the circular deck, however! In the very centre of the circle sits a stunning Japanese guava tree that extends nine metres in the air, making it visible from all common areas and the windows of each apartment. The tree provides the courtyard with shade and gives the whole place a relaxing atmosphere. Benches circle the tree so people can socialize while they bask in its beauty. There are also plenty of planters featuring other fantastic greenery.

然而，露台通道并不是圆形甲板最好的部分！在圆圈的中心有一棵令人惊叹的日本番石榴树，它在空中延伸了9米，从所有公共区域和每个公寓的窗户上都可以看到。这棵树为庭院提供了阴凉处，给整个地方带来了一种放松的气氛。长椅绕着树转，这样人们就可以在享受树美的同时进行社交活动。也有许多种植园主以其他奇妙的绿色植物为特色。

At the northern end of the courtyard, where you’ll find in the bend in the building’s L-shape, you’ll also find a centre “core” that features stairs and an elevator. These provide access to all floors and all apartments. Rather than being underground, the basement and parking garage sit at street level, making them very accessible indeed.

在院子的北端，你可以在大楼L字形的拐弯处找到一个中间的“核心”，里面有楼梯和电梯。这些设施提供通往所有楼层和所有公寓的通道。地下室和停车场不是在地下，而是坐落在街道上，使它们非常容易到达。

In order to retain focus on that relaxing atmosphere establish by the courtyard, the common spaces in each apartment (like the living and dining rooms) face onto the windows that overlook the guava tree. The windows in each apartment’s three bedrooms, on the other hand, face the picturesque street outside. To keep them private and quiet and let dwellers adjust light, however, they are flanked by an inclined facade wall.

为了保持对庭院营造的放松氛围的关注，每间公寓的公共空间(如客厅和餐厅)都朝向俯瞰番石榴树的窗户。另一方面，每套公寓三间卧室的窗户面向外面风景如画的街道。然而，为了保持他们的隐私和安静，让居民们调节光线，他们的侧翼是一堵倾斜的正面墙。

Each bedroom in the apartment features greenery and some lovely vegetation by default with the unit. These are built into the facade and placed near the windows, increasing privacy and acting as a sort of natural sound barrier between the bedrooms and the sounds of the street below. The plants also simultaneously contrast and complement that natural wooden furnishings and features that comprise the rooms and storage spaces all throughout each unit.

公寓里的每一间卧室都以绿色植物和一些可爱的植物为特色。这些都建在立面上，放在窗户附近，增加了隐私，在卧室和下面街道的声音之间起到了一种自然的隔音屏障的作用。这些植物还同时对比和补充了自然木制家具和组成房间和储存空间的特点，所有这些都贯穿于每一个单元。

Besides being afforded a feeling of spaciousness by impeccably organized storage cupboards that retract into the walls, these units feel like they sprawl thanks to the additional features they have access to. Each apartment has terrace and wooden deck access as well as its own balcony or patio, depending on which floor it sits on. Finally, tenants have free use of a lovely private rooftop garden as well, adding a further natural place to escape to for some calm.

除了有一种空间的感觉，完美的有组织的储物柜可以收缩到墙壁上，这些单位觉得由于他们可以使用的额外功能，它们就像在扩张。每间公寓都有露台和木制甲板通道，也有自己的阳台或露台，这取决于它所处的楼层。最后，房客们还免费使用了一个可爱的私人屋顶花园，为人们提供了一个更自然的地方来寻求一些平静。
