这座房子位于一个狭窄而长的场地上，同时面对一块空地，空地太小，无法在前面东侧的道路上建造建筑物，而在后面西侧则面对一条人行道。
The house sit on a narrow and long site, while facing a vacant lot too tiny to build the building beyond the road in the front east side, and facing a pedestrian path in the back west side.
在南面的长边，可能会建造公寓之类的建筑，尽管现在的收费停车场条件很好，但将来可能会导致房子的隐私和自然光的缺乏。
In the south long side, buildings like apartments might be built and might cause the lack of the privacy and the natural light of the house in the future, in spite of the good condition the metered parking offers now.
两代人的住宅单元在底层都有独立的入口，在垂直方向上叠加，家庭生活区被放置在每个房子的西侧，面向人行道上的树。
The dwelling units of two generations having the entrances each separate on the ground floor were stacked in the vertical, and the family living areas were placed the west side of the each house facing the tree of the pedestrian path.
在前面的道路上，通过在悬臂建筑下提供场地全宽的开放空间，保持了一定的距离来缓冲路人和邻居的干扰。
In the front road side, a certain distance for a buffer to the passer and neighbors was kept by providing the open space that has full width of the site under the cantilever building.
为了能够舒适地生活，不受邻居情况变化的影响，在房子的长轴方向的东西两侧设置了主要的开口，用玻璃覆盖的露台被悬挂在空隙中，作为一个元素，将自然光纳入上层的生活区。
In order to be able to live comfortably without being affected by the change of the neighbor’s situation, main openings were set up in the east and west side in the direction of the long axis of the house, and the terrace covered with glass was suspended in void as an element to incorporate natural light above living area on the upper floor.
室内空间的亮度分布和光线的轮廓在一年四季和一天中每时每刻都在变化，以应对自然光的角度。
The distribution of the brightness and the silhouette of the light shine in the interior space are changing variously throughout the year and the day every moment, in response to the angle of the natural light.
