本庄市是位于埼玉县的一个小地区。它距离日本东京有一个半小时的车程。
Honjyo-shi is a small area located in Saitama Prefecture. It is an hour and a half by car from Tokyo, Japan.
几乎所有的居民去哪里都是用自己的车，因为没有像火车和公共汽车这样的公共交通工具。
Almost all residents here always use their own cars when they go somewhere because there is no available public transportation like trains and buses.
这意味着我们在这个地区建造新房时需要考虑提供停车位。
This means that we need to consider providing parking spaces when building new houses within this area.
首先，当我们考虑这个房子的轮廓时，我们在场地内分配了适当的后退。由此，我们想出了一个停车位和一个小花园。
First, when we thought the outline of this house, we allotted the proper setbacks within the site. From this, we came up with a car parking space and a small garden.
同时，我们可以从各个方向获得足够的阳光。其次，我们在房子的南面、东面和西面设计了3个狭窄的窗户。
At the same time, we could get enough sunlight from every directions. Second, we designed 3 narrow windows on the south, east and west side of the house.
然后我们在二楼的这些窗户前设计了三角形的空隙。这些空隙提供了与房屋外部和内部的视觉连接。而在这所房子里的人可以预测到不同空间或房间内彼此的存在。你可以感受到阳光的随时变化以及季节的变化。
Then we designed triangle voids in front of these windows on the second floor. These voids provided visual connections to the outside and inside of the house. And people inside this house can anticipate the presence of each other within different spaces or rooms.You could feel how the sunlight changes anytime as well as the changes in season.
最后，我们在三角形空隙和每个地方的边界上设置一些家具。
这个建筑的内部空间被划分为更小的空间，它可以根据居民的喜好来调整。
Finally, we set some furniture on the border of the triangle voids and each places.
The inner space of this architecture is divided into smaller spaces and it can be adjusted depending on the resident’s preference.
