该地块位于东京市中心附近。它是一个44平方米的小角落，被两条街道包围。为了符合法律条件和回应客户对 “有屋顶的车库 “的愿望，体积从不同方向被修剪。使用 “矿物 “和 “反射 “这两个词作为指导概念，Atelier Tekuto开始使用减法作为设计的一个积极工具。
The site is located near the center of Tokyo. It is a small 44m2 corner plot bounded by two streets. Conforming to legal conditions and in response to the client’s wish for a ‘roofed garage’ the volume was trimmed from various directions. Using the words ‘Mineral’ and ‘reflection’ as guiding concepts, Atelier Tekuto proceeded to use subtraction as a positive tool for design.
矿物
矿物是结合了抽象属性（概念性物体）和非配置性属性（物质的存在更有形的物体）的现象。从透明到半透明到不透明的变化是根据光的强度和角度发生的。矿物体不能被看作是一个简单的元素。
MINERAL
Minerals are phenomena that combine abstract properties (conceptual objects) with nonfigurative properties (objects whose presence of matter is more tangible). Changes from transparent to translucent to opaque occur according to light intensity and angle. The mineral body cannot be regarded as a simple element.
反射
反射是一个与空间感知有关的最新概念。视觉是识别空间的一个重要因素。通过控制几何形状（具有三个因素的面：透明、半透明和不透明），并在内部空间中以三维方式纠缠在一起，视觉反射被诱发。这导致了对空间的限制性的偏离。
REFLECTION
Reflection is a recent concept pertaining to the perception of space. Vision is an important factor in the recognition of space. By controlling geometries (facets with three factors: transparent, translucent and opaque) and entangling them in a three-dimensional way inside the internal space, visual reflection is induced. This results in a deviation from the restrictiveness of space.
随着人们在空间内的移动，或者光线从不同的角度进入，切面的存在会发生变化，创造出一个动态的空间。与多面体的抽象性形成对比的是厨房、柜台架子、楼梯、地板和厕所盒子，它们都配备了功能，作为非配置性物体存在。三楼的浴室单元采用了不锈钢的镜面处理，它结合了物体和反射这两个概念，并呈现为 “矿物 “和 “反射 “的替代物。
As people move inside the space, or as light enters from changing angles, the facet’s presence changes, creating a dynamic space. In contrast to the abstractness of the polyhedron are the kitchen, counter shelf, stairs, floors and toilet box equipped with functionality that exist as nonfigurative objects. The third floor bathroom unit features a mirror finish in stainless steel, which combines both concepts of object and reflection, and presents itself as a substitution of both ‘minerals’ and ‘reflection’.
与周围环境的关系表现在向街道开放的小广场上，这是一个类似于试点的空间，在把车库放在底层后出现的。它的解放感可能会引发周围街景的一些变化。
The Relationship with the surrounding environment is expressed in the small plaza open to the street, a piloti like space that emerged after placing the garage on ground floor. Its liberating feeling might trigger some change in the surrounding streetscape.
