这是一个住宅区，宏伟的大自然依然存在。该地位于天然森林中的一块斜坡上。两棵枝干优美的大树（一棵是樟树，另一棵是樱桃树）矗立在场地的顶部。这些树被整合到住宅设计中。
This is a residential area where the magnificent nature still remains. The site is situated on a sloped land among natural forest. Two large trees with beautifully shaped branches (one is a camphor tree and the other a cherry tree) stand on top of the site. These trees are integrated into the residential design.
整个场地是陡峭的斜坡，顶部和底部之间的差距大至约11米。而且由岩床组成的地面非常坚硬。考虑到这些景观条件，我们决定沿着倾斜的地面放置体量，以尽量减少开挖。
The entire site is steeply sloped, and the gap between the top and the bottom is as large as approximately 11 meters. And the ground composed of a rock bed is extremely hard. Considering these landscape conditions, we decided to place volumes along the sloped ground to minimize excavation.
为了提供最好的视野，主要空间位于顶层，其他内部空间沿斜坡向下连接到街道层面。我们设计了与景观有关的空间序列，沿着等高线放置了三个体量。
In order to provide the best view, the main spaces are located on the top floor and the other interior spaces are connected along the slope down to the street level. We designed the spatial sequence in relation to the landscape by placing three volumes along contour lines.
上面的体量被放置在两棵大树的正下方。客厅里有一个天窗，可以看到上面的树木。北面的体量被分配给浴室。低层的体量包含一楼的私人房间和屋顶上的木质露台，可以从客厅进入。我们在三个体量的交汇处放置了与地面相同倾斜度的楼梯。楼梯空间被用作图书馆，而楼梯的设计是为了容纳大量的书籍。
The upper volume is placed right underneath the two large trees. A skylight is provided in the living room to see the trees above. The volume on the north is allocated for bathroom. The volume on the lower level contains private rooms on the first floor and a wood decked terrace on the roof, accessible from the living room. We place stairs with the same inclination as the ground at the intersection of the three volumes. The stair space is used as a library, while the stairs are designed to accommodate a large number of books.
通过沿着景观设计三个体量，产生了多样化的活动，人们可以如实地享受独特的空间序列。
By designing the three volumes along the landscape, diverse activities are generated and one can enjoy unique spatial sequences as they are.
在建造车库时挖出了相当数量的岩石，它被重新用作入口处的路面和台阶的外部装饰。
A sizeable volume of rock was excavated upon construction of the garage, and it is reused as exterior finish on pavements and steps along the entryway.
