位于东京一个住宅区的一家三口的住宅。住在像东京这样密集的大都市里的多层住宅，在某种程度上类似于住在一棵大树上。在一棵大树中，存在着一些大的树枝，它们被赋予了许多品质；–令人愉快的坐、睡的地方，以及提供讨论的地方。

A dwelling for a family of three located in a residential district in Tokyo. To live in a multi-storey dwelling in a dense metropolis like Tokyo is somehow similar to living in a large tree. Within a large tree, there exists few large branches, of which endows numerous qualities; -pleasant places to sit, sleep, and present places for discourse.

虽然这些树枝是受保护的独立场所，但它们同时具备相互关系，使人能够感觉到每个树枝上彼此的存在。在整个分支的许多地方交织着一个关系网络。一个关于景观的建议，在这里，对立的二元性；个体性和整体性通过关系共存。

While these branches are individual places under protection, they are simultaneously equipped with mutual relationships that allow one to sense the presence of one another across each branch. A network of relationships interwoven across many places throughout the branches. A proposal for a landscape where the duality of opposites; individuality and holistic co-exist through relationship.

这个住宅的特点是，它被覆盖/布满了孔。墙壁、天花板和地板都被公然打穿，并且是三维交错的。通过这些孔洞，人们能够看到和感觉到邻近的空间，在自己的上方和下方，以及更进一步，在明确定义的东西之外。

The character of this residence is that it is covered / riddled by holes. The walls, ceilings, and the floors are blatantly punctured and are interlocked three-dimensionally. Through these apertures, one is able to see and feel through to the spaces adjacent, above and below oneself, and furthermore, beyond what is clearly defined.

通过这些孔隙，不同角度的楼梯被贴上，暗示着这个几何树内的通道。这里所设想的丰富的空间性既包括埃舍尔图像的想象力的三维性，也包括在未来的人们开始居住在一个雄伟的废墟的场景中所想象的另一种情况。

Through these apertures, staircases of varying angles are affixed, suggesting the access within this geometric tree. The rich spatiality conceived here consists of both an imaginative three-dimensionality of an Escher image, or, an otherness imagined in a scenery of people of the future beginning to inhabit a majestic ruin.

使用人工材料和几何秩序，连接中的空隙的连续产生了一个更大的关系领域。这种类似于大树的住宅概念，在与外部的连接中具有树的模糊性，提出了一个未来住宅/城市的原型。

Using artificial materials and geometric order, the succession of voids in connectivity engenders a greater field of relationships. This concept of a residence akin to a large tree, with a tree-like ambiguity in its connectivity with the exterior, propounds a prototypical dwelling/city of the future.
