Aoyagi Design

该项目位于东京郊区的一个住宅区，占地约50平方米。景观被三面遮挡，地面层比面向东侧的道路高出2米。这让它有一种独特的漂浮感，并面向道路对面的校园开放的视野。该住宅为一对夫妇和他们的孩子设计，他们也是该项目的建筑师。

The site is a small lot of about 50 square meters located in a residential district on the outskirts of Tokyo. While the view is blocked on three sides, the ground level is 2 meters higher than the road facing the eastern side. This gives it a unique floating feel and open views toward the schoolyard on the opposite side of the road. The house is for a couple, who are also the architects of the project, and their children.

尽管有一些严格的限制，比如退行限制，允许建筑面积不超过25平方米，我们最终还是设计了一个塔形的设计，包括地下两层和地上两层。光线、空气和居民的存在将通过一个循环楼梯和位于房间角落的一个小空间在楼层之间流动，最终形成一个温和的“流动”。

Despite severe restrictions, such as setback-line regulation and having less than 25 square meters of allowable building area, we arrived at a tower-shaped design consisting of two underground and two above-ground floors. Light, air, and the presence of the residents will travel between the floors through a circulating staircase and a small void positioned on the corner of the rooms, which culminate in a gentle flow.

在横截面上，入口位于中层。一进入这个裂缝状的入口，我们就突然被推入“气流”，悬在半空中。

On the cross-section, the entrance is on the middle layer. Upon entering this crack-like entrance, we are suddenly thrust into the flow and suspended in mid-air.

流动没有明确的开始，因为在我们的设计方法中，我们决定不给房子一个坚固的框架。相反，我们把不同的参数——功能的安排，与周围环境的关系，以及由漫长的设计过程所引起的差异——当作在流中共存的元素，我们假设它就像“连续低音”，换句话说，我们没有一个清晰的整体视角。

The flow has no clear beginning because, in our design method, we decided not to give the house a robust framework. Instead, we treated the different parameters—the arrangement of functions, relationship with the surrounding environment, and discrepancies caused by the long designing process—as elements that coexist inside the flow, which we assumed is like basso continuo, In other words, we did not have a clear overall perspective.

这一过程造成了各种差异，造成开口和楼层之间的不一致，房间和住宅设备之间的相对规模差异不平衡，几乎悬浮在流动中。这种暂停的凝视也让我们的家庭变得多余，不仅以同样中立的态度拥抱过去和现在，而且以同样中立的态度拥抱未来。

This process caused various disparities, creating inconsistencies between the openings and floor levels, and a relative scale difference imbalance between the rooms and residential equipment, which stay barely suspended in the flow. This stare of suspension also gives our family redundancy to embrace not only the past and present but also the future with equal neutrality.
