这座房子位于茨城县筑波未来市，距离东京大约一个小时的车程。
This house is located in Tsukuba-Mirai City, Ibaragi Prefecture, about an hour by car from Tokyo.
房子所在地可以俯瞰的河岸是茨城县的重要景点之一，以樱花闻名。在设计这座房子时，我非常重视它与樱花的关系。
The river banks to which the site of the house overlooks is among the prominent spots of Ibargi Prefecture, renowned for their cherry blossoms. In designing the house, I attached great importance to its relationship with the cherry blossoms.
由三面白色外墙组成的立面，让人联想到河面上的三层涟漪。这是一个让居民与樱花树紧密相处的房子，樱花树随着日本的季节变化表现出各种表情。
根据场地的形状–一个向樱花树延伸的狭长地带，我构思了房子的形状，一个U形，这样每个房间都能充分受益于光线。
The facade which consists of three white outer walls, is suggestive of triple ripples on the surface of the river. It is a house that enables its residents to live closely with the cherry trees which manifest all kinds of expressions with the changing of the seasons in Japan.
Based on the shape of the site, one that stretches in a narrow strip toward the cherry trees, I I conceived the shape of the house , a U-shaped one, so that every one of its rooms would fully benefit from the light.
