瓦尼位于大津市北部，位于琵琶湖和平山之间。这里是人们悠闲生活的郊外住宅区，但JR高成线贯穿南北，通往京都和大阪的交通十分便利。我们在瓦尼的山上设计了一个小房子。业主是个爱狗的人，喜欢户外活动，他的爱好是周末带着狗狗去琵琶湖游泳。业主的要求是和狗狗一起生活，充分享受瓦尼特有的风景和氛围。

Wani is located in the northern part of Otsu City, and is located between Lake Biwa and Mt. Hira. It is a suburban residential area where people live leisurely, but JR Kosei Line runs north and south and has good access to Kyoto and Osaka. We designed a small house on a hill in Wani. The owner is a dog lover and likes the outdoor activities, and his hobby is swimming with his dogs in Lake Biwa on weekends. The owner’s request was to live with his dogs and to fully enjoy the scenery and atmosphere unique to Wani.

我们选择了一栋带院子的一层楼房，这样他既可以住在户外，又可以保留周围房屋的隐私。但是，即使是庭院式，如果四面都是房间，也会失去琵琶湖的景观。因此，一部分屋檐是在室外空间，而一个大开口是为了连接庭院和屋外。因此，它与其说是庭院，不如说是 “半庭院”。

We chose a one-story building with a courtyard so that he could stay outdoors while preserving privacy from the surrounding houses. However, even if it is a courtyard style, the view to Lake Biwa will be lost if it is surrounded by rooms on all sides. Therefore, a part of the eaves is in the outdoor space, and a large opening is to connect the courtyard and the outside of the house. As a result, it became more like a “semi-courtyard” than a courtyard.

俯瞰琵琶湖和平山流淌的清风的院子，成了一个舒适、温暖、豪华的室外空间，同时也是一个室内氛围。在这个房子里，所有的房间、入口和窗户都面向庭院，日常生活自然而然地以庭院为中心。我们希望打造一个生活中一切与庭院相伴的房子，而不仅仅是一个可以俯瞰庭院的房子。

The courtyard overlooking Lake Biwa and the clear air flowing from Mt. Hira has become a cozy, warm and luxurious outdoor space with an indoor atmosphere. In this house, where all the rooms, the entrance and windows face the courtyard, daily life is naturally centered around the courtyard. We wanted to create a house where everything in life is with the courtyard, not just a house overlooking the courtyard.

一室一式的室内，通过围绕庭院的弯曲，轻轻划分，营造出略微不同的空间。我想用一种很好的方式来营造一种宽松的氛围，即使没有明确的形状作为房间，人和物也能在某种程度上创造出一个地方。如果你能根据季节和时间选择自己喜欢的地方，营造出宽松舒适的生活氛围，比如早上在桌子上喝咖啡，俯瞰琵琶湖，下午在院子附近的大沙发上小憩，我们会很开心。

The interior of one room style is gently divided by bending around the courtyard, creating a slightly different space. I wanted to create a loose atmosphere in a good way, where people and things can somehow create a place even if there is no clear shape as a room. We would be happy if you can choose your favorite place according to the season and time, creating a generous and comfortable living atmosphere like drinking coffee at a table overlooking Lake Biwa in the morning and taking a nap on a large sofa near the courtyard in the afternoon.
