该地块位于一个名为札幌的城市北部，那里的住宅区像网格一样被分割。在3栋楼的包围下，留下了一个包含约100平方米的小地块。在楼房的东侧，有一条长廊，上面有一片古老的白杨林，起到了防风的作用。虽然这些树对地块本身没有直接的影响，但它们间接地促成了建筑标准法，它要求有一个不可避免的后退距离，使地块内的可用空间减少到40平方米。
The parcel is located in the north of a city named Sapporo, where the housing block is split like a grid. Surrounded by 3 buildings, a tiny parcel that contains about 100 sqm was left over. On the east side of the building, there is a promenade with an old growth poplar forest which acts as a windbreaker. While these trees don’t have a direct influence over the parcel itself, they indirectly contribute to the building standard law, which requieres an inevitable set back distance, reducing the usable space within the parcel to 40 sqm.
在建筑的北部，你会发现楼梯、浴室、楼道等各种空间将被安排在建筑的北部。这是公共空间和私人空间之间的一个缓冲区。在它的后面，客厅的地板比周围的房间要低-600mm。
In the northern section of the building you will find the stairway, the bathroom, the landing, and other various spaces will be arranged in the north of the building. This is a Buffer zone between the public space and the private space. Behind it, the living room floor is -600mm lower than the surrounding rooms.
由于决定做一个半地下室，房间的天花板变得更高。我设计了一个缓冲区，就像一个门廊，在LDK的南部有一个大的凸窗。在一楼和二楼之间有一些鸭子板，在顶楼有一个大卧室。
With the decision to make a semi basement, the ceiling of the room becomes higher. I designed a Buffer zone, like a porch, and a big bay window in the south of the LDK. Between the first and the second floor there is some duckboards, and a large bedroom on the top floor.
这座房子没有任何窗户可以看到外面的风景；但是，根据建筑标准法，建筑中必须有一些窗户。窗户由纤维塑料板覆盖，通风窗由木板覆盖，这与外墙的材料相同。
This house doesn’t have any window to regard the outer scenery; however, according to the building standard law, some windows must be placed in the building. The windows are covered by a fiber plastic board and, and the ventilation windows are covered by a wooden board, which is the same material as the exterior wall.
在建筑的南部，光线聚集在矩形中，只允许反射的光线照回居住空间。
但在这个长方形的后面，它的光的起源显示出面目，并一点一点地变化为另一种特征的东西。
In the southern section of the building, the light collects in the rectangle allowing only the reflecting light to shine back into the living space.
But in the back of this rectangle, its light’s origin shows face and changes little by little into another characteristic thing.
