该项目位于日本东京中野站的北侧。从车站步行几分钟，它可以在两条街道之间找到：一条通往平和之森公园，另一条通往车站的后面。该公寓楼的主入口被规划在后街一侧，以提供一些隐私。而另一个入口，直接面对一楼的办公室，面向通往平和之森公园的街道。

This project is located on the north side of the Nakano station in Tokyo, Japan. A few minutes’ walk from the station, it may be found in between two streets: one leading to Heiwa-no-Mori Park and the other to the back of the station. The apartment building has been planned to have the main entrance from the backstreet side to provide some privacy. While another entrance, which directly faces the office on the first floor, faces the street which leads to the Heiwa-no-Mori Park.

总的来说，该场地是细长而狭窄的–这对其在街上的能见度很重要。面向街道的两个外墙被设计成方形开口的组合，使用不锈钢和特殊的模板，在表面形成独特的图案。许多方块是重叠的，特殊的模板也同样用于整个楼层。

Overall, the site is elongated and narrow — which is important in terms of its visibility from the street. The two facades facing the streets are designed in a combination of openings in the form of squares with the use of stainless steel and special formwork that has formed unique patterns across the surface. Many of the squares overlap and the special formwork is used across the floors likewise.

该设计的概念是重新解释中野独特的亚文化定位。这一点已经通过纳入特殊金属的图案来实现，这些金属具有反射特性，并根据一天中的时间、天气和季节不断变换其外观。这就改变了路人对该建筑与城市及其周围环境的印象。

The design’s concept has been to reinterpret the subcultural positioning unique to Nakano. This has been accomplished by incorporating the patterns of special metals that have reflective properties with a continuous shifting in their appearances depending on the time of day, weather, and season. Which consequently alter the passersby impression of the building in relation to the city and its surroundings.

公寓楼现场的入口大厅的设计被线条照明所包围，在视觉上让人联想到方形的形状。该建筑由地面以上的四层组成：一楼西侧为办公空间，一楼东侧为两个单元的公共住房，二楼至四楼每层有三个住宅单元。

The design of the entrance hall on the apartment building site is surrounded by line lighting, visually reminiscent of square shapes. The building consists of four floors above the ground level: office spaces on the west side of the first floor, two units of communal housing on the east side of the first floor, and three residential units on each floor from the second to the fourth floors.

这些单元从单间到带客厅、餐厅和厨房区域的一居室（1LDK）公寓类型不等。这些设计在两个立面上都有大的方形开口，使空间能够被自然光和空气过滤所照亮。为了实现简单的设计，以最小的浪费和结构组成的高度空间自由–1LDK单元的卧室和客厅被一个可移动的滑动墙分割，这使得人们可以选择将空间作为一个连续的单元。此外，白色和混凝土墙被用来强调材料的对比。1LDK内的客厅、餐厅和卧室之间的空间关系可以由每个住户根据自己的喜好单独自由改变。

The units range from studio to one-bedroom with living, dining, and kitchen areas (1LDK) apartment types. These are designed with large square openings on the two facade sides to allow for the space to be illuminated by natural light and air filtration. To achieve a simple design with a minimal amount of waste and a high degree of spatial freedom in the structure’s composition — the bedroom and living room of the 1LDK units are divided by a movable sliding wall which gives the option to use the space as a continuous unit. In addition, white and concrete walls have been used to emphasize the contrast of materials. The spatial relationship within the 1LDK between the living room, dining room, and bedroom can be freely changed by each resident individually to their liking.

以极简主义概念为基础的结构设计，暗示了一种生活方式，在这种生活方式中，每个居民都是主角，都能控制自己的空间–这种想法通过材料和慷慨的空间和灵活的构成得到加强。

The design of the structure with the concept of minimalism as its basis, suggests a lifestyle in which each of the residents is the protagonist and in control of their space — an idea enhanced by the materials and the generous spatial and flexible composition.
