建筑设计地点是位于东京郊区的一个单间复式公寓，离市中心约一小时路程。该公寓楼开发于20世纪80年代，正值日本经济高速增长期，是一个20栋建筑开发项目的一部分。这些建筑位于火车站前。
The architectural design site is a one-space, duplex apartment located on the outskirts of Tokyo, about an hour away from the city centre. The apartment building was developed in the 1980s, during Japan’s high economic growth period, as part of a 20-building development project. These buildings are located in front of the train station.
客户是一对30多岁的夫妇，有两只猫，他们的父母住在同一栋楼里。这对夫妇想通过接受由Covid-19大流行病促使的远程工作生活方式，搬到离他们父母更近的地方。
The clients are a couple in their 30s with two cats, whose parents live in the same building. The couple wanted to move closer to their parents by embracing the remote-work lifestyle prompted by the Covid-19 pandemic.
这是一栋四层楼的建筑，我们采用了墙式钢筋混凝土建筑方法。三楼和四楼有一个复式小套房。我们改造了较小的区域–以前是由混凝土墙分割的–并创造了一个更大的、连续的空间，用家具、窗帘和其他装饰材料进行装饰。
It’s a four-story building in which we adopted a wall-type reinforced concrete construction method. The third and fourth floor come with a duplex maisonette. We transformed the smaller areas – which were previously divided by concrete walls – and created a larger, continuous space, decorated with furniture, curtains, and other finishing materials.
一个具体的例子是以前在主框架上相当明显的40年的污渍。有角度的遮蔽带油漆处理使混凝土框架看起来更柔和，污点也因此变得不那么明显。线条已被涂成与楼梯相同的角度。
One specific example is the 40-year-old stain that was previously quite visible on the main frame. The angled masking tape paint finish has made the concrete frame look softer and the stain has thus become less visible. The lines have been painted in the same angle as the stairs.
岛式厨房是中心部分，把以前分散的所有空间都集中在一起。由于大流行病的影响，以前在同一屋檐下各自生活的家庭成员开始走到一起，希望彼此生活得更亲密。我们想在我们的概念中反映这种社会状况，岛式厨房象征着这个概念。
The island kitchen is the centerpiece, bringing together all the spaces that were previously spread apart. As a result of the pandemic, family members, who previously lived separate lives under the same roof, have begun to come together, wanting to live closer with each other. We wanted to reflect this social situation in our concept, with the island kitchen symbolizing the concept.
