该地位于名古屋城以西约1公里处，附近有2层楼的房子以及10层以上的高层公寓。名古屋的夏天是非常炎热的。当倾盆大雨发生时，水会上升到超过50厘米的街道水平。考虑到这些问题，我们为一个三口之家（丈夫/妻子和孩子）设计了一个宁静而舒适的房子。
The site is located approximately 1 km west of Nagoya castle and in the neighborhood there are 2 story houses as well as high rise apartments over 10 stories high. Summer in Nagoya is very hot. When a downpour occurs water can rise over 50 cm above street level. Taking these matters into account we have designed a serene and comfortable house for a family of three (husband/wife and child).
利用大面积的场地，我们设计了一个围绕庭院花园的单层宫廷住宅。然而，如果我们把它建成一个法院，天空的轮廓就太明显了，而且从周围的高层公寓可以看到里面的情况，因此我们让玻璃的线条面向庭院，屋顶的线条凹陷并突出，玻璃、屋檐和泥土地板的线条以平面形式在内外边界相交。这样，它就成为一种建筑风格，外面有屋顶的土炕、外面没有屋顶的土炕、外面的菜园子、里面的所有土炕以及面对里面玻璃的各个区域在内外边界附近并排走到一起。这种多样化的区域以及具有控制视线的作用，并在夏季将阳光直射隔绝在外，它创造了一个生活空间，里面、一半外面和外面产生各种生活场景。
Taking advantage of the large site we have designed a single level court house surrounding a courtyard garden. However if we make it just a court house the outline of the sky is too distinct and from the surrounding high rise apartments you are able to see inside therefore we had the line of the glass facing the courtyard and the line of the roof cave in and protrude and the line of the glass, eaves and dirt floor intersect at the inside/outside boundary in a plane format. In this way it becomes an architectural style where the outside dirt floor with a roof, outside dirt floor without a roof, outside vegetable garden, all dirt floors inside and each area facing the inside glass come together side by side near the inside/outside boundary. This diverse area as well as having a role of controlling the line of sight and shutting out direct sunlight in summer it creates a living space where inside, half outside and outside produce a variety of living scenes.
地板的高度比前街高75厘米，以便在下大雨时采取安全措施。我们尽可能地用硅藻土做内墙，让你感受到泥土的自然气息。外墙采用了粗糙的平面线条，并在外墙的小花园里种了一棵树，这样你就能从小窗子里看到外面的树叶。此外，由于庭院一侧的窗户和小外院一侧的小窗户，整个房子都有自然的空气流过，从而使它即使在名古屋的炎热夏天也能居住。
The height of the floor is made 75cm higher than the front street for safety measure in case of a downpour. We have used diatom earth for the inside wall as much as possible so that you can feel the naturalness of the dirt. The outer wall was created with plane lines of roughness and planted a tree in the small outer garden so that you will be able to see the leaves outside form the small window. In addition, due to the window at the courtyard side and the small window at the small outer garden side the whole house has natural air flowing through thereby making it livable even in the hot summer of Nagoya.
花园院子里用土砂浆铺成的人行道创造了一条捷径通道，内部和外部都被规划为日常生活、菜园生活和花园生活的主要角色。
The footpath made of earth mortar in the garden courtyard creates a shortcut access path and both inside and outside were planned to play a main role with daily life, vegetable garden life and garden life coming together.
