这是一个由16个单元组成的住宅区，靠近东京市中心唯一的沟壑–Todoroki沟壑。我们希望立面与作为周围环境的Todoroki溪谷有某种对应关系。建筑物面向主干道，通往入口处的通道背离道路，是一个吸引游客进入一个让人联想到山谷的世界的空间。
This is a residential housing complex consisting of 16 units near the Todoroki ravine, the only ravine in central Tokyo. We wanted the façade to have some kind of correspondence with the Todoroki ravine as the surrounding environment. The building faces the main road, and the approach to the entrance, which is set back from the road, is a space that draws the visitor into a world reminiscent of the valley.
基本上，使用的形式是一个容易被识别的原始的正方形，它被发展成类似山谷的开口和空心墙，这样，城市的人们和居民可以被提醒到一个世界观。开口和凹壁上的热浸镀锌板反映了每天的天气状况，以及不断经过的汽车、自行车和人。
Basically, the form used is a square that can be easily recognized in a primitive way, and it is developed into openings and hollow walls that resemble a valley, so that the people of the city and the residents can be reminded of one world view. The hot-dip galvanized sheets in the openings and recessed walls reflect the weather conditions of each day, as well as the automobiles, bicycles, and people that pass by constantly.
这些单元从单间到一居室都有，设计有大的方形开口，以便让空间、光线和风进入。西侧的单元通过开口可以看到Todoroki山谷的景色。住宅单元将简单的设计与空间构成的高度自由相结合。白墙和混凝土墙被用来表达材料的对比。
The units range from studio to one-bedroom, and are designed with large, square openings to allow space, light, and wind to enter. The units on the west side have a view of the Todoroki Valley through the openings. The dwelling units combine a simple design with a high degree of freedom in space composition. The white walls and concrete walls are used to express the contrast of materials.
客厅、餐厅和卧室之间的空间关系可以根据每个居民的需求而改变。此外，通过在客厅创造一个部分封闭的空间，我们计划创造一个可以用作步入式衣柜或紧凑型电脑间的空间，我们还在墙上创造了一个方形的开口，以便空间可以扩展。通过对材料和空间的使用，在极简主义的基础上，增加了一种游戏感，我们提出了一种不被东西支配的富裕形式和没有财产的生活。
The spatial relationship between the living room, dining room, and bedroom can be changed according to the needs of each resident. In addition, by creating a partially enclosed space in the living room, we planned to create a space that can be used as a walk-in closet or a compact computer booth, and we also created a square opening in the wall so that the space can expand. By adding a sense of playfulness through the use of materials and space, based on minimalism, we propose a form of affluence that is not dominated by things and a life without possessions.
