该场地位于一座山上，距离海岸300米。它可以清楚地看到海洋和整天流经这里的风。
The site locates on a hill, 300m away from the shore. It has a clear view of the ocean and the wind flowing through the place all day long.
像一把打开的伞，屋顶和墙壁从唯一的柱子上延伸出来。它的高度正好挡住了冲绳的强烈阳光和公众的眼睛。夏天的直射阳光不会穿透室内，当窗户打开时，海风流过空间，这使得空调的使用变得没有必要。外墙由玻璃制成，这是一种不会老化的材料，可以抵御冲绳的恶劣环境。由于只创建了一个柱子，基础，结构成本被限制到最低。通过用玻璃使细节变得简单，它使坚固的结构看起来像漂浮在空中。这种对比在建筑中创造了一个独特的存在。
Like an opened umbrella, the roof and walls are extended from the only column. It stops at the height where it just blocks the strong sunlight of Okinawa and eyes from the public. Direct sunlight in the Summer does not penetrate inside, and the ocean breeze flows through the space when the windows are opened, which makes the use of an air conditioner unnecessary. The exterior walls are made from glass, which is a material that does not age, and that can withstand the harsh environment of Okinawa. With creating only one column, the foundation, and the structural cost was limited to the minimum. By making the details simple with glass, it makes the solid structure look like it’s floating. This contrast creates a distinct existence in the building.
内部是一个大的开放空间，柱子增加了空间的深度。尽管这个布局在中心只有一根柱子，但它给人以 “更远的空间 “的感觉，因此柱子大得像一堵墙。仅仅通过使用混凝土和木材等有限的材料，以及对天花板和墙壁高度的调整，就创造出了可以接受变化的灵活空间。
The interior is a large open space and the column adds depth to the space. Even though the layout has only one column in the center, it gives the feeling of “further space” hence the column is large like a wall. Just by using limited materials of concrete and wood, and with scaling of the ceiling and wall height, flexible space was created that can accept changes.
这种形式乍一看很特别，但它是多方面的结果，如客户希望自由地度过时间的要求，该地的气候和环境，以及建筑成本。这个房子的目的是要有一个灵活的结构，可以适应住宅以外的功能，以及一个不受任何情况影响的强度。
The form seems extraordinary at a glance, though it is a result of multiple aspects such as the client’s request who wanted to spend time freely, the climate and environment of the location, and the building cost. This house aimed to have a flexible structure that can be adapted to function other than a residence, and a strength that would not be affected by any situations.
建造建筑是为了设计一个重力。
在这个房子里，承受负荷的区域被最小化，屋顶和墙壁的混凝土块被从地面抬起。这种结构试图回应与外部环境的关系、内部空间的舒适度和成本限制。
To build architecture is to design a gravity.
In this house, the area that bears the load is minimized and the concrete mass of the roof and walls are lifted from the ground. This structure tries to respond to the relationship to the outside environment, the comfort of the interior space, and cost constraints.
实际的9.8N的重力是无法改变的，然而，它可以通过操纵形式、材料和规模来设计。虽然这听起来像是常识，但吸引力可以从建筑的奇异结构、空间扩展和与外部的关系中产生。
The actual 9.8N of gravity cannot be changed, however, it could be designed by manipulating forms, materials, and scales. Although this might sound like common sense, the appeal can be created from the building’s bizarre structure, space expansion, and relationship to the outside.
