– 一个有自立墙的房子 –

– A House with Self-Standing Wall –

坐落在东京世田谷的一个平静的住宅区，这个长方形的房子朝南，后面是一个花园。在房子前面几米处，建造了一道混凝土墙，为玻璃幕墙的房子提供足够的隐私，同时保留了开放感。

Situated in a calm residential area of Setagaya, Tokyo, the rectangular house faces southward, with a garden at the rear. Several meters in front of the house, a concrete wall has been constructed to provide sufficient privacy to the glass-façade house, while retaining a sense of openness.

这堵墙以三种不同的方式发挥作用。首先，也是最重要的，它阻碍了来自街道的视线。其次，它充当了住宅区的大门。这道门是墙上的一个人体尺度的开口，让人联想到日本传统茶室的入口。第三，墙和房子之间的空间创造了一个开放的门廊，可供私人使用。

The wall functions in three different ways. First and foremost, it impedes the line of sight from the street. Secondly, it acts as a gate to the residential area. The gate, a human scale opening in the wall, is reminiscent of the entrance to a traditional Japanese tearoom. And thirdly, the space between the wall and the house creates an open porch which can be used in private.

墙前面的区域是用混凝土铺成的，用作停车空间。几块石板在不同的高度上突出，形成障碍，同时，一个单独的部分为自行车提供天气保护。

The area in front of the wall is paved with concrete for use as a parking space. Several slabs protrude at different heights to create barriers, whilst a separate section offers weather protection for bicycles.

从房子里，居民可以欣赏到南边的门廊和北边的花园的景色。由于一楼没有隔断，所以始终有一种开放的感觉。房子全天都能接受来自不同来源的自然光：来自南方的直接太阳光；来自北方的柔和散射光；以及从天花板上的方形开口进入的光线。进入空间的三种光线的性质在一天中不断变化。
 
From inside the house, the residents can enjoy the views of both the porch to the south, and the garden to the north. With no partition on the first floor, there is a constant feeling of openness. The house receives natural light from various sources throughout the day: direct sun light from the south; gentle, diffused light from the north; and light entering through a square opening in the ceiling. The nature of the three types of light that enter the space is changing constantly throughout the day.
