这对夫妇和他们的孩子居住的小房子位于东京人口稠密的地区。虽然相邻的房子很近，但我的目标是要设计出一个超越在城市中生活的物理狭小性的房子。 我将4米×4米的建筑尽可能小地布置在34平方米的场地中心，并为周围的光线和风的流动留出一些空间。通过创造空间，可以避免后退的规定，而且它有9米高的体积，就像一座塔。内部是简单的结构，由4块楼板分隔，由螺旋楼梯连接。特别是，通过制作一些极薄的楼板（厚度为70毫米），上下的楼板紧密相连，使房屋的整个空间没有中断。
The small house which the married couple and their child live stands at the densely populated area in Tokyo. Though the neighboring houses is very close, I aimed to design the house which exceed the physical narrowness living at the city. I laid out the 4m×4m building that as small as I can at the center of site area 34m2 and made some space for flowing of light and wind around it. And by making the space, it’s possible to avoid setback regulation and it has the 9m high volume like a tower. The inside is simple structure what is separated by the 4 floor boards and is jointed by spiral stairway. Especially, by making some extremely thin floor boards (thickness 70mm) , the up and down floor boards got close and connected the whole space of the house without a break.
房子周围的空间对光线和风的进入很有用。房间的墙与外面接壤，所以我把窗户放在与周围环境相协调的最佳位置。窗户在小房间里是如此之大，每当窗户打开或关闭，里面的景色就会发生巨大的变化。特别是在二楼和三楼，每个房间都有一个大的铰链门，如果打开它，房间里的光线和风就会被笼罩，就像你在外面一样。通过使薄薄的楼板与他们的生活联系起来，并使大窗户朝向城市，我的目的是超越分割，例如上楼和下楼，内部和外部，一个建筑和城市，等等，以扩大房子的整个形象。
The space of around the house is useful to let light and wind in. The wall of the rooms borders the outside, so I put windows in the best position that harmonizing with its surroundings. And the window is so big against the small room, every time the window opens or closes, the inside view dramatically changes. Especially, at the second and third floor there is a large hinged door each room, if it is opened, the inside of the room is enveloped in light and wind as if you are outside. By making the thin floor boards for connecting with their life and making the large windows what are opened toward the city, I aimed to exceed the segmentation, for example the up stair and the down stair, the inside and the outside, a building and the town, etc… to broaden the whole image of a house.
