Node House is a single family home designed by UID Architects in Fukuyama, Hiroshima, Japan.

节点屋是由UID建筑师在日本广岛福山设计的单一家庭住宅。

Description by UID Architects: On the south side of the site there is a rich forest where animals and plans reside and on the back north side where hilly land was developed into a residential area in a tiered platform. The site is located at the node point of such nature and human-made place. There is a thicket spreading over the hill of over 10 meters level deference along the south side from the frontal road.

UID建筑师描述：在遗址的南侧有一片茂密的森林，动物和计划居住在那里，在后面的北侧，山丘被开发成一个分层的平台上的住宅区。该网站位于节点的性质和人为的地方。从正面公路的南侧，有一片灌木丛在海拔超过10米的小山上展开。

Various creature’s territory is layered from the land surface to the sky above trees. In this occasion, I thought about a place for animals, plants and human beings in a scale closer to the environment of the rich sectional direction. Thus, keeping the large site as it is, I thought to create a various environment that is produced by manipulating a sense of distance from the flat area that comes in contact with the road to the forest located 25 meters away.

各种生物的领地从陆地表面到树上方的天空都是分层的。在这一次，我想到了一个适合动物、植物和人类的地方，在一个尺度上更接近环境丰富的断面方向。因此，保持这个大场地的原样，我想创造一个各种各样的环境，这是通过控制与25米外的道路相交的平坦区域的距离而产生的。

Specifically, by placing 3.5 meters cubes similar to a wooden bird’s house on the side just like a toy building block, we made a place that responds to a surrounding horizontal and vertical territory that connects the ground surface and the forest. Gradually advancing from the approach to the south side and enabled by sceneries that is cut out in fragments in the east and the west direction, linear space in about 30 meters unfolds as a sky pass, keeping a gradual sense of distance with the surrounding environment.

具体来说，我们把3.5米长的立方体放置在旁边，就像玩具积木一样，类似于一座木制的鸟屋，我们建造了一个地方，对连接地面和森林的周围的水平和垂直区域做出反应。由近南面逐渐向南推进，在东西向被分割成碎片的景物的带动下，30米左右的直线空间作为一条天空通道展开，与周围环境保持着一种逐渐的距离感。

The space is connected to the 10 meters above forest. On the other hand, the cube that is buried in the underground slope becomes a space that reacts with the surface environmental territory such as sunlight filtering through thick trees, humidity and temperature. The bird’s house that connected the ground surface and the forest is like a place of kaleidoscope that reflects various regularly changing things. It is a place of a node that creates an interactive environment with natural animals ant plants. Courtesy of UID Architects

这个空间连接到森林上方10米处。另一方面，埋在地下斜坡中的立方体成为一个与地表环境领域(如阳光透过茂密的树木、湿度和温度)相互作用的空间。把地面和森林连接起来的鸟屋，就像万花筒的地方，反映了各种有规律的变化。它是一个节点的地方，创造了一个与自然动物蚂蚁植物互动的环境。由UID建筑师提供
