这是设计师自己的住所，是一栋沿着隅田川翻新的30年历史的SRC公寓楼。他对隅田川一见钟情，隅田川作为物流的大动脉支撑着江户（现在的东京），并连接着江户的文化，他梦想着有一天能沿河居住。
This is the designer’s own residence, a renovated 30-year-old SRC apartment building along the Sumida River. He fell in love at first sight with the Sumida River, which has supported Edo (now Tokyo) as a major artery for logistics and has connected its culture, and dreamed of living along the river one day.
现有的规划是一个典型的LDK规划，私人房间由走廊连接，忽略了沿河居住的特殊设计条件。我的出生地是一个公寓，我觉得我父母的公寓的环境，与自然隔绝，不足以满足其便利性。通过将隅田川融入公寓的无机性质，我们旨在创造一种与自然共存的有机生活方式。
The existing plan was a typical LDK plan with private rooms connected by corridors, ignoring the special design conditions of living along the river. My birthplace is an apartment, and I felt that the environment of my parents’ apartment, which was separated from nature, was not enough for its convenience. By incorporating the Sumida River into the inorganic nature of the apartment, we aimed to create an organic lifestyle that coexists with nature.
作为设计的起点，我们研究了核心区的布局。为了使洗澡时间成为生活中最重要的部分，我们把直接面对隅田川的布局放在首位，核心区在房间的中间，工作室以L型连接。采用了一个半单元的浴室，并在浴室的上部做了一个大的亚克力开口，以便在沐浴时享受隅田川的美景。
As a starting point for the design, we studied the layout of the core. In order to make bath time the most important part of life, we placed the highest priority on a layout directly facing the Sumida River, with the core in the middle of the room and the studio connected in an L-shape. A half-unit bath was adopted, and a large acrylic opening was made in the upper part of the bath to enjoy bathing with a view of the Sumida River.
开放的L型空间从土炕与客厅和餐厅连为一体，工作区和卧室用透明窗帘简单隔开，根据使用情况控制空间的关系和与隅田川的距离。
The open L-shaped space is connected from the earthen floor to the living and dining rooms in one room, and the workspace and bedroom are partitioned simply with transparent curtains to control the relationship between the spaces and the distance from the Sumida River according to the usage.
隅田川的粼粼波光映照在覆盖在核心区的钢板墙上，自然光充满了整个房间，通过用落叶松胶合板覆盖地板和墙壁，形成自然的层次感，使隅田川成为生活的一部分。
The shimmer of the Sumida River is reflected on the steel plate wall covering the core, natural light fills the room, and by covering the floor and walls with larch plywood, a natural gradation is created, making the Sumida River a part of life.
通过将隅田川发生的现象融入与自然隔绝的公寓的生活，我们能够发现一种与自然相关的新方式。隅田川连接着从江户时代到现在的文化，为我们的未来生活提供了提示。
By incorporating the phenomena that occur in the Sumida River into the life of an apartment that is cut off from nature, we were able to discover a new way of relating to nature. The Sumida River, which has connected culture from the Edo period to the present, has given us hints for our future lives.
