这个位于日本芦屋市的仓库式住宅是由大阪的设计工作室TOFU Architects设计的。场地位于连接神户和大阪两市的国家高速公路立交桥附近。由于大型车辆在高速公路上行驶，以及全天不断的交通量，噪音和振动是设计师在规划项目时不得不面对的两个问题。建筑师决定采用钢架结构，将生活空间置于试验台上，从而使其与下面的道路分离。

This warehouse like residence in Ashiya city, Japan is designed by the design studio from Osaka, TOFU Architects. The site is located close to a national highway overpass connecting the cities of Kobe and Osaka. Due to large vehicles moving across the highway and a constant traffic volume throughout the day noise and vibration were two problems that the designers had to face when planning for the project. The architects decided to go for a steel frame construction where the living space rests on pilotis hence detaching it from the road below.

此外，通过增加钢结构件的尺寸，使其超过通常的标准，并采用深层地基，建筑师能够实现一个坚固的结构，在里面几乎感觉不到车辆在道路上行驶所带来的振动。通常情况下，位于交通流量大的公路沿线或附近的房子是不可取的，但通过提高居住空间的试点，并控制车辆运动引起的振动，给客户提供了一个从居住区看风景的房子，由于靠近国家公路，它每秒都在不断变化，所以不会感到无聊。另外，从正面两层楼高的大窗户看去，Rokko山的景色也很美。

Also by increasing the size of the structural steel members more than the usual norm and a deep foundation the architects were able to realise a strong structure inside which one hardly feels the vibrations caused by vehicles moving on the road. Usually a house that is situated along or close to a highway with a high traffic volume isn’t desirable but by raising the living space on pilotis and controlling the vibrations caused by the movement of vehicles has given the clients a home with a view from the living area that is never boring as it constantly changing each second thanks to the close proximity of the national highway. Also the view of the Rokko mountain from the large window that spans two floors in the front façade is beautiful.

就房屋的规划而言，它是简单而清晰的。二楼和三楼像盒子一样的生活体量被抬高在pilotis上面，这让它看起来像一个仓库。建筑师在内部尽可能地减少了分隔空间的墙壁。 由于整个居住体量是在pilotis上抬高的，所以一楼被用作车棚，同时也是一个小菜园。像咖啡馆一样的二楼是主要的生活区域，在那里可以欣赏到外面的风景。三楼是卧室和儿童房，两个房间之间有一个阳台相连。前面的大窗户也横跨两层楼，使空间感觉比实际情况要宽广得多。屋顶，是夏天看烟花和与孩子们玩耍的地方，是一个很好的放松空间。

As far as the plan of the house is concerned it is simple and clear. The 2nd and 3rd floor box like living volume is raised on top of pilotis and this gives it a warehouse like appearance. Inside the architects have tried to reduce walls separating space as far as possible. Since the entire living volume is raised on pilotis the first floor is used as a carport with a small vegetable garden as well. The café like 2nd floor is the primary living area from where one can enjoy the view outside. The 3rd floor houses the bedroom and the children’s room that is tied with a balcony connecting both rooms. The large window in the front that also spans across two floors results in the space feeling far more expansive that it actually is. The rooftop, a place to watch fireworks in the summer and play with the kids is a nice space for relaxing.
