这座房子坐落在狭小的转角处，同时面对着绿树成荫的银杏。在这个小城市街区的居住区和狭窄的道路周围，保持了旧时为行人提供友好气氛的人类尺度，这也要感谢绿树成荫的银杏。房子建在靠近道路边界的地方，以便强调转角地段，为行人和银杏提供背景立面，并保持人类的尺度。
This house sits at the tiny corner lot, while facing the tree-lined ginkgo. Around this dwelling area of the small city block and the narrow road, the human scale that offers friendly atmosphere to the pedestrian from the old days is kept, also thanks to the tree-lined ginkgo. The house was built in close proximity to the road boundary so as to emphasize the corner lot, in order to offer the background façade for the pedestrian and the ginkgo and keep the human scale.
内部区域根据功能有不同的天花板高度，在靠近场地角落的主楼中垂直叠加。考虑到房屋的高度可能会影响到邻居的阳光，部分卫生设施部分被建在场地北面的一层。
The internal areas that have the different ceiling heights in accordance with the function were stacked vertically in the main building that built near the corner of the site. Partially the sanitary part was built in one story on the north of the site, in view of the fact that the height of the house could interfere with the sunlight to the neighbor.
在主楼，起居区的水平窗沿着绿树成荫的银杏设置，从而提供了独特的漂浮感和与城镇的亲密感。漂浮的楼梯通过设置在水平窗的端点，将内部空间的流动性从水平方向转换为垂直方向。
On the main floor, the horizontal window of the living area was provided along the tree-lined ginkgo, resulting to offer the vista with unique floating feeling and the sense of intimacy with the town. The floating stair converts the fluidity of the internal space from horizontal direction to vertical direction, by being set up at the end point of the horizontal window.
