这是一座建在充满自然气息的地区的木制单层楼房，四个家庭成员将住在里面。在日本，由于Covit19的出现，家庭所需的功能一下子多样化了。房子不仅作为生活的地方，而且作为工作和社交的地方，变得更加频繁。

It is a wooden one-story house built in a region full of nature, where four family members will live in it. In Japan, the functions required for home due to the Covit19 have diversified at once. The house has become more frequently used not only as a place of living but also as a place of work and socializing.

为了满足这一需求，这所房子不仅有每个人的私人房间和LDK，而且在房子的中心还有一个带有榻榻米的日式房间。这个日式房间被设计成一个可用于多种用途的空间，如画室、大量人员的聚会空间、简单的客房和家务室。

To answer this need, this house has not only private rooms and LDKs for each individual, but also a Japanese-style room with tatami mats in the center of the house. This Japanese-style room is designed as a space that can be used for many purposes, such as a drawing room, a gathering space for a large number of people, a simple guest room, and a housework room.

日式房间与其他空间之间有一个遮阳板，通过根据当时的目的打开和关闭这个遮阳板，它可以连接到LDK，成为LDK的一部分，或者它可以连接到入口处，使用Engawa。通过与周围空间的结合/分离，整个空间可以被重新组织。

The Japanese-style room is separated from other spaces by a shoji, and by opening and closing this shoji according to the purpose at that time, it can be connected to the LDK and become a part of the LDK, or it can be connected to the entrance and used Engawa. By combining/separating with the surrounding space, the whole space can be reorganized.

LDK也可以通过一个2米的大开口打开，享受将LDK与外面的露台和花园结合起来的生活。另一方面，该建筑的高隔热性能、使用地热的通风系统以及可作为凉爽场所的室外水盆，都使得能源消耗降到最低。外部和内部的设计是温暖的和诱人的，使用雪松、柏树和在该地区生长的天然石材，使人感受到只有天然材料才能提供的质感。房子的设计是为了与自然相联系，并实现与不断变化的自然环境相协调的舒适生活方式。

The LDK can also be opened through a large 2-meter opening to enjoy a life that integrates the LDK with the outside terrace and garden. On the other hand, the building’s high thermal insulation, ventilation system using geothermal heat, and an outside water basin that can be used as a cool spot, have made it possible to minimize energy consumption. The exterior and interior design is warm and inviting, using cedar, cypress, and natural stone grown in the region to give a sense of the texture that only natural materials can provide. The house is designed to connect with nature, and to realize a comfortable lifestyle in harmony with the ever-changing natural environment.
