在一个安静的住宅区有两栋房子，绿意盎然。一所是我自己的房子，另一所是我嫂子的家。虽然这两个家庭希望独立生活，但他们也希望相互支持，并希望建立一个共同的空间，如花园和工作室，以享受一种生活方式，使其具有扩张感，而这是作为一个单一家庭难以实现的。
There are two houses in a quiet residential area with verdant greenery. One is my own house, and the other is my sister-in-law`s family. While the two families wanted to live independently, they also wished to support one another and desired to establish a common space such as a garden and atelier to enjoy a lifestyle that allows for a sense of expansion that is difficult to achieve as a single household.
我们在纵向上划分了一块土地，并在两边各建了一座窄小的房子。两栋房子之间是一条长约16米、宽1.8米的小巷，作为两栋房子的通道。巷子是一个通道花园，也是一个缓冲区，有助于保持两个家庭之间的适当距离。
We divided a piece of land in the longitudinal direction and built a narrow house on each side. Between the two houses is an alley that is about 16 meters long and 1.8 meters wide and acts as an approach to the two houses. The alley is a passage garden and a buffer zone that helps to maintain an appropriate distance between the two families.
通过一个在植物上方展开的帐篷和一个水盆，小巷允许每个家庭的成员直接进出，而不需要从各自的入口进入。这个空间旨在成为一个模糊的中间地带，作为室内的一部分，同时也属于室外。
With a tent that expands above plants and a water basin, the alley allows members of each family to come and go directly without having to enter through their respective entrances. This space aims to be a vague intermediary zone that acts as part of the interior while also belonging to the outdoors.
每个建筑都是一个连续的空间，作为一个单一的房间，有不同的地板和屋顶水平。屋顶层被精心调整，以保证隐私、视野、进入房间和小巷的光线以及通风。我们还在不同方向安装了许多窗户。这座房子是一个仰望天空的单一大房间，可以看到彼此的墙面和小巷对面的露台，在连接不同大小的小空间时，既包含光明，也包含黑暗。这个凸凹不平的空间是利用纵向安装的复数木龙骨梁建成的。可延伸的空间使我们的生命感增长并扩展到物理区域之外。我们的目标是通过将小地方聚集在一起来创造环境的一致性。
Each building is a continuous space that acts as a single room that has various floor and roof levels. The roof level was carefully adjusted to allow for privacy, views, light into the rooms and alley, and ventilation. We also installed many windows in different directions. The house is a single large room that looks up to the sky, having views of each other’s wall surface and terrace across the alley, and containing both light and dark as it connects smaller spaces of various sizes. This convex-concave and irregular space were built using plural timber keel beams that are installed in the longitudinal direction. Extensible space makes our sense of life grow and expands beyond the physical area. Our goal is to create environmental coherence by gathering small places together.
