客户是一对新婚夫妇，都在工作。我们的目标是一种紧凑的生活，一种即使在忙碌的日子里也能感受到亲近自然的生活方式。该地块位于山谷中，地下水从上游的大型水库直接流到地块下。
The client is a newlywed couple who both work. We aimed for a compact life, a lifestyle that allows you to feel close to nature even on busy days. The site is located in a valley, and groundwater flows directly under the site from a large reservoir upstream.
除了房屋外，出租公寓和空置房屋也排到了4米宽的道路尽头。这是一个安静的地方，人少车少，但对于一对年轻夫妇来说，这里缺乏日常生活的感觉，场地环境也很封闭。我的第一个想法是把建筑分成两半，创造一个空白空间。通过向这个方向打开每个房间，你可以感受到光线、风和绿色植物离你很近。
In addition to houses, rental apartments, and vacant houses are lined up to the end of the 4-meter-wide road. It is a quiet place with few people and few cars, but it lacked a sense of daily life for a young couple to live in, and the site environment was closed. My first thought was to divide the building into two halves to create a blank space. By opening each room in this direction, you can feel the light, wind, and greenery close to you.
另外，这个场地原本从路边到后面有大约1米的高度差。为了降低建筑成本，防止地下水受潮，路边的建筑将是与周围环境相匹配的高楼层类型，下面还将提供一个停车场。路人可以通过高楼层的缝隙分享光线、风和绿色植物，同时利用高度差保持最低限度的隐私。
Also, this site originally had a height difference of about 1 m from the roadside to the back of the site. In order to reduce construction costs and prevent moisture in the groundwater, the building on the roadside will be a high-floor type that matches the surrounding environment, and a parking lot will be provided underneath. Passers-by can share the light, wind, and greenery through the gaps in the raised floor while maintaining a minimum of privacy by using the height difference.
空白空间上的桥是在两座建筑建成后安装的。我的目标是建立一个既不在外面也不在里面的空间。通过打开和关闭墙壁，有各种可能性，如一个允许风逃逸的外部空间，一个可以作为连接走廊的内部空间，以及一个连接甲板和自然的半室外空间。通过这个空白空间，家庭生活开始与城市连接。
The bridge over the blank space was installed after the construction of the two buildings. I aimed for a space that is neither outside nor inside. By opening and closing the walls, there are various possibilities, such as an external space that allows the wind to escape, an internal space that can be used as a connecting corridor, and a semi-outdoor space that connects the deck and nature. Through this blank space, family life begins to connect with the city.
通过插入这个空白空间，我想在逐渐疏远的人们的生活和这个城市的住宅区的风景之间创造一种距离感。
By inserting this blank space, I would like to create a sense of distance between the lives of people who are becoming estranged and the scenery of the residential area of this city.
