从群马县高崎市驱车50分钟后，在一个介于村庄和城市之间的地方，你会看到这个建筑，有住宅和商业空间。
After a 50 minutes drive from Takasaki city, Gunma, a place between village and city, you will see the building, having both residential and commercial spaces.
绕过负荷的那种高速公路就位于这个地方的前面。把这个路边的位置作为一个关键因素，我们必须结合这两个概念：房子和商店。
The kind of highway that bypass load is located right in front of this site. Setting this road-side location as a key factor, we had to combine both concepts: a house and a store.
为了使建筑具有商店的特征，它需要保持商业存在。因此，我们决定将整个建筑作为一个标志。外部空间将收集来自外部的注意力。内部空间将框住空间。
To characterize the building as a store, it needed to hold a commercial presence. Therefore, we decided to make the whole architecture as a sign. The external space will collect attentions from outside. The internal space will frame the space.
在考虑到我们必须同时满足的要求后，该场地的规划并没有关闭司机在路上的视线，而是从外面看到的。为了展示建筑，我们设计了形状因素、体积和地块。
The site was planned not to shut down drivers’ eyes on the road in consideration of being seen from the outside , after considering the wants we had to satisfy at the same time. To show the architecture, the shape factor, volume, and the plot was designed.
我们把商业区设计在一楼，住宅区设计在二楼。一楼有一个宽大的开口，从外面吸引人的目光。二楼有一个几乎看不到的开口，防止路人看到里面。
We designed the commercial area on the ground floor and the residential area on the second floor. The ground floor has a wide opening, catching eyes from outside. The second floor has a hardly visible opening, preventing the passers-by from seeing inside.
从楼上的窗户，居民可以看到周围山脉（Akagisan, Asamayama, and Myougisan）的壮丽景色。这些窗户有助于为空间提供足够的光线。
From the windows upstairs, residents are able to see the magnificent view of the mountains surrounding around (Akagisan, Asamayama, and Myougisan). These windows help provide enough lights to the space.
