一个小花园是这个房子的主题。花园的大小为3×4米。周围是低矮的石墙，地面用泥土装饰，头顶是带百叶的半透明屋顶。
A small garden is the theme of this house. The size of the garden is 3x4m. Surrounded by low stone walls, the floor is finished with soil, and overhead is covered with a translucent roof with louvers.
这个花园是一个门廊，用于从街上进入房子，是一个户外餐厅，也是一个可以小憩的地方。在日本的城镇中，房屋通常在小块土地上一字排开，很难为花园分配空间。我们试图通过设计一个住房规划机制来解决这一困难。
This garden is a porch for access to the house from the street, an outdoor dining room, and a place to take a nap. In Japanese towns, where houses are often lined up on small lots, it is difficult to allocate space for the garden. We sought to solve that difficulty by devising a housing planning mechanism.
首先，建筑被划分为主体积（客厅、厨房等）和副体积（卧室、浴室）。然后将它们滑动在一起，为花园创造空间。这种方法很简单，但它的效果是削弱了建筑的轮廓，使其与周围环境融为一体。建筑和花园结合在一起，成为城镇景观的一部分。
First, the building is divided into the main volume (living room, kitchen, etc.) and a subvolume (bedroom, bathroom). Then slide them together to create space for the garden. This method is simple, but it has the effect of weakening the silhouette of the building and blending it into the surroundings. The building and garden are united and become part of the townscape.
两边的房子都是以同样的方式设计的。右边的是7年前完成的，左边的是5年前完成的。有了这个房子在中间，一个有三个连续房子的城市景观就实现了。
The houses on both sides were designed in the same way. The right side was completed 7 years ago and the left side was completed 5 years ago. With this house in the middle, a townscape with three consecutive houses was realized.
