客户希望建造一座能与他一起成长的房子。就像他自己希望成为一个年长的父母，他的两个孩子，现在已经十几岁了，即使将来出去寻找自己的生活，也能回来依靠他们，他希望他的房子也能成为他的孩子随时可以来休息的地方。

The client wanted to build a house that would grow older together with him. Just like his own desire to become older as a parent on whom his two children, who are now teenagers, would be able to come back to rely even after they go out to the world in search of their own lives in the future, he wanted his house as well to be the place where his children could come and rest at any time.

每个成员的个人空间都必须有一个结构，不仅要满足当前的使用，还要让他未来独立的孩子们能在自己的家庭中短暂停留。因此，每个成员的卧室不仅要能在室内占据独立的位置，而且要有足够的面积，能够独立运作。由于很难在法律规定的容积率范围内保证客户要求的方案，因此设计开始时就寻求一种保证最大面积的方法。

Each member’s individual space had to have a structure not only to satisfy the current use but also to allow his future independent children to stay with their own families for a short period of time. Accordingly, each member’s bedroom had to be able not only to occupy an independent position in the interior, but also be of sufficient size to be capable of functioning independently. As it is difficult to secure the program requested by the client within the floor area ratio stipulated in the law, the design began by seeking a way to secure the maximum area.

在设计过程中，COVID-19的时代已经到来。足够的面积和独立的空间，这些都是客户的要求，在人们必须延长在家里的时间的时代，已经成为必不可少的元素。这意味着过去他们晚上进来然后睡觉的空间正在转变为他们24小时停留的空间，包含睡眠、休息、工作和排泄等所有动作。

During the design process, the COVID-19 era has come. The sufficient size and independence of the space, which were the requirements of the client, have become essential elements in the era where people must prolong their stay at home. It means that the space that they used to come in at night and then go to sleep is being transformed into the space that they stay for 24 hours and contain all the actions of sleeping, resting, working, and excreting.

每个成员的卧室都分布在每一层，以保证独立的个人空间的地位，而家庭共享的客厅和厨房也被做成了独立的结构。每间卧室都有一个独立的卫生间，以便他们可以独立生活。此外，考虑到室内空间的大小不能不说是有限的，所以规划了一个窗户，以便在视觉上将场地周围的自然和城市外部空间引入。

The bedrooms of each member are distributed on each floor to secure the position of an independent individual space, and the living room and the kitchen, shared by the family, were also made to have an independent structure. Each bedroom has a separate toilet, so that they may live independently. In addition, considering the fact that the size of the interior space cannot help being limited, a window was planned to visually bring in the natural and urban exterior space surrounding the site.

在家的时间越长，对外部空间的要求自然也就越大。由于外部空间不能被物理地包含在小尺寸的场地中，传统概念中的院子被设计成在屋顶的上部和每层准备的阳台空间来代替。每个阳台空间的目的是与常用的空间相连，并具有扩大的公用空间的特征。此外，通过安排窗户，可以从内部看到位于场地东侧的公园的风景，即使客户的家人可能只呆在室内，也会产生扩大空间的效果。

The longer the time spent at home becomes, the greater the requirements for external space will become naturally. Since the external space cannot be physically contained in the small-size site, the yard from a traditional concept was designed to be replaced with the balcony space prepared on the upper part of roofs and on each floor. Each balcony space is intended to be attached to the commonly-used space and to have the character as an expanded common-use space. In addition, by arranging windows so that the scenery of the park located on the east side of the site can be seen from the inside, it was intended to have the effect of expanding the space even if the client’s family might stay inside only.

在材料方面，砖块被用作主要材料，因为它们可以牢固地保持其形状，即使是在客户和这所房子的时间积累中，也可以包含岁月的痕迹，因为随着时间的推移，会有更多的污点。通过使用城市规划中定义的屋顶坡度，使每个空间的形状暴露在外面，以提供视觉特性，屋顶的坡度成为内部空间的坡度，以创造一个丰富的空间。随着时间的推移，虽然占据每个部件空间的成员可能会发生变化，成员的数量可能会增加，但房子会和主人一起变老。

In terms of materials, bricks were utilized as a main material, since they could firmly hold its shape even while the time is accumulated with the client and this house and could contain the trace of years as stained more as time goes by. By using the roof gradient defined in the city planning, the shape of each space was made to be exposed to the outside to give visual properties, and the slope of the roof becomes the slope of the interior space to create a rich space. As time passes, while the members occupying each component’s space might change and the number of members might increase, the house will grow older together with the owner.
