日本千叶县胜田台的一个带商店的住宅。一楼的外部是一个糕点店，内部是一个餐厅，二楼和三楼是一个四口之家的住宅。这个房子在1楼和3楼之间有一个空中楔子，所以住宅的上部看起来就像漂浮在街道上的糕点店上一样。这个空中楔子将在不同的时间改变其作为光层的特性–在白天，它将是一个糕点店的光井，而在晚上，灯光从这个孔隙中泄露出来，就像一个宝盒被打开。我们可以看到一个基于透明玻璃屋顶的糕点店的唯一居住体量。沿街店铺的墙面被规划为1.8米高，并逐渐向内部升高。这是基于我们的意图，即创造一个熟悉的开放空间，就像一块空地，只是被低矮的墙所包围。

A Dwelling with shop at Katsutadai, Chiba prefecture, Japan. The outer part of 1st floor is a Patisserie and the inner part is a Cuisine, 2nd and 3rd floor is a Dwelling for a family of four peoples. This house has an aerial wedge in between 1st and 3rd floor, so that upper part of dwelling is looks like floating above a patisserie as a view on street. This aerial wedge will be changing its character as the photic layer with different times – During the daytime it will be a light-well for a patisserie, and the nighttime the lights leaking from this aperture like a treasure box is opened. And we can see a sole of dwelling volume in a patisserie based on its transparent glass roof. The wall of shop along the street is planed to 1.8 meters height and it is gradually being higher toward the inside. That is based on our intention to create a familiar open space like an empty-lot where is just surrounded by low wall.

这个房子在商店和浮动的居住空间之间有一种相互观察的关系，使不同的独立存在同时出现在一个建筑中。每个空间都有与周围环境的特殊距离感。商店空间是一种与街景连续的外部空间，只被低矮的墙所包围。而居住空间则与周围环境更加分离，它漂浮在街道之上，沿街没有开口，所以居住者不能直接看到其他房屋，反之亦然。此外，我们在住宅部分设置了一种风道，将外面的风和声音带到内部空间，然后居住者可以感受到街道的气氛。当我们第一次去他们以前的房子时（一楼是商店，二楼是住宅），由于担心来自街道的目光，窗帘被拉上了，他们也为孩子从楼上到糕点店的脚步声感到烦恼。因此，我们也试图在方案设计中解决这些问题。
我们计划用长条形的外观来改变商店和住宅之间的气氛。我们打算通过各种情况来改变与周围环境的距离感–比如高大的公共糕点店空间和更独立的住宅空间，这些距离感改变了他们生活中空间的时间流。

This house has an inter-observing relationship between a shop and a floating dwelling space that makes different independent existence in a single building simultaneously. Each space has a particular sense of distance to the surrounding environment. A shop space is a kind of continuous exterior with the streetscape where is only surrounded by low wall. And a dwelling space is more separated form the surroundings where is floating above the street and has non-openings along the street, so that dwellers cannot see other houses directly and vice versa. Additionally, we put a kind of wind-path in a dwelling part that brings the wind and the sounds form the outside to the inside space, and then dwellers can be feel an atmosphere of the street. When we went their previous house for the first time (1st floor was a shop and 2nd floor was a dwelling), a curtain is closed due to concerning about the eyes from street, and they also troubled with the noise of their child’s footstep form upstairs to patisserie. Therefore, we also attempted a solution of those problems in the schematic design.
The approach is planed to have an attractive appearance with long length to change the mood between a shop and a dwelling. We intended to change a sense of distance to the surroundings with the situations – such as high public patisserie space and more independent dwelling space, and those senses of distance change the flow of time between the spaces in their life.
