K2之家由三个三角形组成,围绕着一个四角形,占据了东京一个木制房屋密集区的边缘,房屋之间的缝隙形成了绿色的道路,让风和光穿透。房子对面是一个热闹的开放街区,开发了一个大规模的城市方案,包括一所幼儿园和一个公园。规划开始于建筑师对花园的思考。”建造一个花园可以创造一个生活景观和城市景观。它可以是一种社会行为,通过个性化的生活空间和表达自己的个性来定居。”

The ensemble of three triangles surrounding a quadrangle, K2 House occupies a site in Tokyo at the edge of a dense area of wooden houses, where gaps between houses form green paths letting through the wind and light. The house stands opposite a lively open block developed with a large-scale urban scheme containing a nursery school and a park. Programming began with the architect’s thought on gardens: “Making a garden creates a life-scape and a townscape. It can be a social behavior to settle in by personalizing one’s living space and expressing one’s personality. ”

通过将四角形体量塞进半三角形的场地,三个三角形的角落被雕刻出来。四角形体量的上部是私人宿舍,被三角形体量的框架抬起。在私人住所下面,一个未分割的房间–包括厨房/餐厅/下沉式客厅/榻榻米地板区域–从三角角上溢出,通过上方和侧面的大量玻璃,将自然元素融合在一起。

By tucking the quadrangular volume into the semi-triangular site, three triangular corners are carved out. The quadrangular volume holds private quarters in the upper portion, which is lifted by the framework of the triangular volumes. Underneath the private quarters, an undivided room – featuring the kitchen/dining/sunken living/tatami floor areas – spills over the triangular corners, blending in natural elements through generous glazing from above and sideways.

三个三角形体量中的每一个都与城市环境相呼应。东部的体量提供了一个有盖的露台,在东部和四角形体量之间夹着一个露天花园。露台几乎没有暴露,但从街道上可以看到居住者的一丝丝身影。它倾斜的屋顶缓冲了来自公园一侧的强风,当花园旁边的推拉门打开时,微风就会吹进来。西部的体量包含了厨房/餐厅区域,该区域通向花园地带,与附近的绿色小路相连接。北部的体量塑造了一个白色的抽象空间,从上面过滤光线。

Each of the three triangular volumes responds to the urban context. The eastern volume provides a covered terrace with an open-air garden wedged between the eastern and quadrangular volumes. The terrace reveals little, but a hint of the occupants’ being, from the street. Its tilted roof buffers strong winds from the park side, allowing in the breeze when a sliding door beside the garden is open. The western volume contains the kitchen/dining area that opens onto a garden strip linking to the green paths in the neighborhood. The northern volume shapes a white abstract space, filtering in light from above.

这三个体量给室内带来了日光的相互作用,随着太阳的节奏变化而变化。阳光点分布在这些体量中,有时,内部感觉比外部更明亮。这种日光的戏剧性突出了底层不同区域的重叠印象,模糊了内部和外部的边界,为四角形体量的上部创造了舒适的深度和浮力的印象。

These three volumes bring inside an interplay of the daylight that varies with the rhythm of the sun. Sunny spots are spread throughout these volumes and, at times, the inside feels brighter than the outside. This daylight drama accentuates the overlapped impression of the different areas on the ground floor, blurring the interior-exterior borders, creating the comfortable impression of depth and that of buoyancy above to the upper portion of the quadrangular volume.

建筑师的信念是:”一个花园将一个人的生活领地展开到城镇中,而城镇中的一系列花园则构成了人类的生活景观”。将居住者的思想引向花园和更远的地方,K2之家以缓慢的节奏支撑着他们生活的展开–在新地方的新生活。

The architect’s belief is that “a garden unfolds one’s living territory into the town, and a series of gardens in the town comprises a human life-scape.” Directing the occupants’ minds to the gardens and beyond, K2 House underpins the unfolding of their lives at a slow tempo – a new life in the new place.
