该项目是在日本群马县涩川市为下一代业主在现有院落旁边建造一座两层的木制房屋，该院落也同时进行了翻新。场地东南端的道路是一条交通繁忙的国家公路。通过将新房子旋转45度，我们从现有房子的墙上创造了一条连续的线。因此，它形成了两个花园，其中一个是共享的，并与现有建筑相连，另一个是从现有房屋私有化的。

The project was to build a two-story timber house in Shibukawa City, Gunma Prefecture JAPAN, for the next generation of owners next to the existing compound, which was also refurbished at the same time. The road on the southeast end of the site is a national highway with frequent traffic. By rotating the new house 45 degrees, we created a continuous line from the wall of the existing house. As a result, it formed two gardens where one is shared and connected to the existing building, and another privatized from the existing house.

高度是尽可能的低，以减少不面向南方的花园被建筑物包围的阴影。我们对空间的主要建议是让两个不同的角色堆叠在一个由十字形柱子抬起的方形屋顶下，这样客户就可以决定他们居住的周围环境的关系，激起一种新的多样化的生活方式。

The height is as low as possible in order to reduce the shadow of the garden that does not face the south surrounded by buildings. Our main proposal for space was for two different characters to stack under a square roof lifted by a cruciform shaped column so that the clients can decide the relationship of the surrounding environment they lived in, provoking a new diverse lifestyle.

底层是由一个正方形和一个直角三角形组合而成的梯形平面空间。住宅的日常功能被设置在一个由胶合板制成的盒子里，并随机摆放，创造了一个可以停留的地方，同时也阻挡了彼此的视线。另一方面，开口的设置使外面的景色可以通过盒子的缝隙看到。对角线梁从四角形的平面图中提取了最长的直线，强调了水平传播。

The ground floor is a trapezoidal flat space by combining a square and a right angle triangle. The daily functions of the home are set in a box made of plywood panels and placed randomly, creating a place to stay while blocking the line of view of each other. On the other hand, the opening is set so that the views outside can be seen through the gaps of the boxes. The diagonal beam extracts the longest straight line from the quadrangular plan, emphasizing the horizontal spread.

十字形的柱子，是由五个方形的柱子（105×105毫米）集合在平面的中央，在施工的时候考虑到了柱子面积的部分损失和一些工作能力。通过沿着地面材料和天花板百叶窗到以十字形柱子为中心的斜梁所形成的轴线，在底层创造了不同的空间。这些空间与周围的环境相呼应，并围绕着十字形的柱子散开。

The cruciform shaped column, which is a collection of five square columns (105 x105 mm) in the center of the plan, was considered partial loss of column area and some workability at the construction moment. By following the floor material and ceiling louvers to the axis created by the diagonal beams centered on the cross-shaped column, different spaces are created on the ground floor. These spaces respond to the surrounding environment and spread out around the cross-shaped column.

通往二楼的楼梯隐藏在其中一个家具中（由胶合板制成）。上下层之间的联系是分离的，但从百叶窗地板上照射下来的光线和延伸到屋顶顶部的十字形柱子暗示了升高的屋顶和它们之间空间的存在。二楼有一个大的阁楼空间，没有任何程序，提供了远处的南北山的景色，然而，无法看到周围的花园和现有的父母的房子。

The stairs to the second floor are hidden in one of the furniture (made of plywood panel). The connection between the upper and lower floors is separated, but the light shining down from the louver floor and the cruciform shaped column extending to the top of the roof implies the existence of the raised roof and the space between them. The second floor has a large attic space with no program and providing views of the north and south mountains in the distance, however, it is not possible to see the surrounding gardens and existing parent’s house.

与底层相比，那这里是一个与周围环境隔开的空间。根据屋顶的形状，二楼的一个十字形的柱子与底层稍有偏移。结构材料在上下两层之间的微妙转变使得柱子的存在更像家具。叠加的两个空间共存，同时通过地板上的百叶窗感受到彼此的存在。

In contrast to the ground floor, that here is a space-separated from the surrounding environment. One of the cruciform shaped columns on the second floor is slightly offset from the ground floor according to the roof shape. The subtle shift between the upper and lower floors of the structural material makes the existence of columns more furniture-like. The two spaces that are stacked coexist while feeling the presence of each other through the floor of the louvers.
