这是一个四口之家的私人住宅，位于日本的住宅区。我们创造了一个大方的轮廓，沿着房产竖起一个半透明的聚碳酸酯围墙，将其与周围地区分开，使其漂浮在空中。漂浮的围墙创造了分离，但由于它漂浮着，房子本身仍然与周围的环境相连。
The private house for the family of four which is located in residential area in Japan. We create a generous outline by erecting a translucent polycarbonate enclosure along the property to separate it from the surrounding areas and making it float in the air. The floating enclose creates separation, but since it floats, the house itself is still connected to the surrounding environment.
在围墙内，住户爬上去时仍然隐蔽在外面，但他们可以选择下来，在延续到外面的区域内展示自己。我们用漂浮的围墙来定义空间特征。当我们研究功能和它们的位置以创造一个适合其环境的住宅时，房子的最终设计逐渐成形。
Inside the enclosure, residents remain hidden from the outside when they climb up, but they can choose to come down and present themselves within the area that continues to the outside. We used the floating enclosure to define the spatial character. The house’s final design gradually took shape as we studied the functions and their placement to create a home suitable for its environment.
在场地和围墙的中间，餐厅和厨房被放置在一个开放的地面上，周围是其他房间。这些房间有不同的楼层高度，并在没有隔断的情况下轻轻地相互连接。而需要隐私的空间被安置在较高的楼层或半地下区域，每个房间都是相连的，这样居民无论在房子的哪个位置都能感受到彼此的存在。
In the middle of the site and enclosure, the dining room and kitchen were placed on an open ground level surrounded by other rooms. These rooms have different floor heights and gently connect each other without partitions. While the spaces that require privacy are positioned on a higher level or in a semi-underground area each room is connected so that the residents can feel each other’s presence no matter where they are in the house.
在浮动围墙下安装了一个室外帘子，可以根据需要打开或关闭外部空间。这是改变封闭空间质量的基本功能之一，它允许居民调整房子和社区之间的关系。外部空间可以通过一个室外帘子控制为公共空间或私人空间。通过将周围的环境与房屋最深处的核心轻轻地连接起来，我们希望创造一个开放和活泼的家，让居民的生活成为城镇的一部分，而城镇成为他们的花园。
An outdoor curtain was installed under the floating enclosure to open or close the external space as needed. This is one of the essential features that change the quality of the enclosed space, and that allows the residents to adjust the relationship between the house and the community. The external space can be controlled to be public space or private space by an outdoor curtain. By gently connecting the surrounding environment to the deepest core of the house, we want to create an open and lively home where the resident’s life becomes a part of the town, and the town becomes their garden.
