House M是一对年轻夫妇在世田谷的住宅。他们都是平面设计师，经常整日在家里工作，所以我们的设计以一个名为 “户外客厅 “的户外空间为中心，使他们能从房子的每个角落感受到外面的空气。

House M is a residence in Setagaya for a young couple. They are both graphic designers who often work all hours at home, so we designed it centering on an outdoor space called Outside Living Room, which enables them to feel the outside air from every corner of the house.

室外客厅被一堵外墙包围，但没有屋顶，墙面上有一个朝向小镇的小开口。在日本的城市里，房子建得很密集，很难很好地利用一个开放的露台。在这里，由于起居室是向上开放的，而与邻居隔绝，所以它作为一种装置，提供了一种轻松的生活方式来享受外面的环境。

Outside Living Room is surrounded by an exterior wall but is roofless, and the wall has a small opening toward the town. In Japanese cities, houses are built so densely that it is difficult to make good use of an open terrace. Here, since the living room is open upwards while closed from its neighbors, it works as a device to offer a relaxed lifestyle to enjoy the environment outside.

室内所有的房间都是按照与外面客厅的声音和视线的关系和距离设计的。整个房子都能感觉到通过客厅传来的空气、光线、声音和风，这使你不用到室外就能感知到时间的流逝和季节的变化。

All of the rooms inside are designed in relations and distances towards the sound and sightlines in Outside Living Room. The whole house senses the air, light, sound and wind coming through the living room, which enables you to perceive the passage of time and the change of seasons without going outdoors.

房子的结构是混合型的：中央支柱和支撑二楼的大梁是钢架，在这个铁制的 “XYZ-轴 “上铺设了木制的 “地板”。这座房子巧妙地结合了宽敞的房间和私密的工作空间，这是很难从一个只有40平方米的建筑面积中期待的。

Structure of the house is hybrid: the central pillar and the girder supporting the 2nd floor are steel frame, and a wooden “floor” is laid on this iron “XYZ-axis”. The house is a subtle combination of spacious rooms in sequence and intimate spaces to do work, which is hard to expect from a built area of just 40㎡.

房子实际上是一个单一的空间–从半地下室延伸到二楼–但每个房间之间的合理距离是有保障的，因为它们是分层的。

The house is virtually single space – stretching from the semibasement to the 2nd floor – but reasonable distances are secured between each room as they are layered.
