Y之家位于靠近高速公路的密集住宅区。场地面积是这个城市的条例规定的最小的。为了在这个最小的场地上建立一个丰富的居住环境，在小房子的密集区和高速公路的长尺度之间，我们用合理的平面图和各种截面操作来设计它。

House Y is located in dense residential area near highway. The site area is the smallest specified by the ordinance of this city. To build a rich living environment on this minimal site between the dense areas of small houses and the long scales of highways, we designed it with rational floor plans and various cross-section operations.

为了有效地利用有限的建筑面积，平面图是一个合理的计划，它组织了流线，并考虑到未来家庭结构的变化。在保证房屋功能方面的计划的同时，每个空间都是不同的，如每个房间的天花板形式和装饰，配件的结构，如何做开口，是否有框架，大墙和真墙的使用，等等。它已经被微妙地操作了。

In order to effectively use the limited floor space, the floor plan is a rational plan that organizes the flow lines and takes into consideration future changes in the family structure.While guaranteeing the functional aspects of the house with a plan, each space is different, such as the ceiling form and finish of each room, the construction of the fittings, how to make the opening, the presence of a frame, the use of large walls and true walls, etc. It has been delicately operated.

例如，用推拉门与多马土楼房间隔开的儿童房是日式风格，主卧室做得像一个帐篷，有一个小入口和一个方形屋顶一样的天花板，LDK的天花板很高，透过高高的侧灯可以看到天空，做得像房子里的一个广场。即使在一个小房子里，在不同的创意空间之间来回走动也能创造出深度的体验。我想利用空间的丰富性，把一个小房子组织成一组部分。

For example, the children’s room separated from Doma the dirt floor room by sliding doors is Japanese style, the master bedroom is made like a tent with a small entrance and a square roof like ceiling, the LDK with a high ceiling and the high side lights you see the sky through is made like a plaza in the house. Even in a small house, going back and forth between different creative spaces creates depth of experience. I wanted to take advantage of the richness of the space by organizing a small house as a group of parts.

在这个房子里，当你进入入口的时候，有多马一个土炕，在离入口最远的地方有一个屋顶阳台。按照计划，一个具有外部特征的空间将出现在居民体验的起点和终点。开口为W4.3m x H1.9m的土炕很明亮，虽然它有一个脱鞋的标记，但它允许有更多的脚，可以比其他房间粗略地使用。

In this house, there is Doma a dirt floor when you enter the entrance, and there is a roof balcony in the place farthest from the entrance. It was planned that a space with an external character would appear at the beginning and end of the residents’ experience. The dirt floor with an opening of W4.3m x H1.9m is bright, and although it has a mark for taking off shoes, it allows for more foot and can be used roughly than other rooms.

你也可以把它作为一个客厅，在屋顶的阳台上晾晒衣物，或者在天气好的时候，在没有周围人的目光下度过时光。因为在这个地方无法在地面上有一个花园，所以在房子里设置了一个类似花园的地方。有趣的是，这些空间与日本Machiya传统房屋的街心花园和庭院相似。我认为这个房子已经成为现代町家的答案之一。

You can also use it as a living room where you can dry the laundry on the roof balcony or spend time without the eyes of the surroundings when the weather is nice. Since it was not able to have a garden on the ground on this site, a place like a garden was set up in the house. It is interesting that these spaces are similar to the street garden and courtyard of the Machiya traditional house in Japan. I think this house has become one of the answers as a modern-day Machiya.
