位于东京都南青山的青山街道后方的安静地区的一栋出租建筑。长方形建筑位于175m2的角落。地下2层，地上2层，利用高度差设置了2个入口，面积足以容纳4个租户。

A construction plan of a building for rent, which is located in the quiet area behind Aoyama street, in Minami Aoyama, Tokyo. The rectangular building is situated in a 175m2 corner lot. It has two underground levels and two aboveground floors, two entrances utilizing height difference, and enough area to accommodate four tenants.

在作为建筑物的地标性存在的同时，创造出中性的空间印象，以迎接不同风格、不同行业的租户。一般来说，建筑面积的大小是评价一栋建筑是否出租的关键，但对于这栋建筑来说，广阔的高天花板空间和充足的自然光，是评价建筑价值的另一个标准，而不仅仅是建筑面积。

While making a presence as a landmark to the building, the impression of the space was created to be neutral enough to welcome tenants with a variety of styles and from a variety of industries. Generally, the size of the floor area is key to the evaluation of a building for rent, for this building, vast high-ceilings spaces filled with plenty of natural light gives another criterion to evaluate the value of the building aside from just floor area.

面向繁华街道的正面是利用4米高的大开间，面向小巷的一面是小窗户，让人误以为是几层楼。在同样高度的房屋和商铺中，外立面突出了尺度感上的差距。大大小小的窗户很好地对应了住户的风格和行业，它们将室内的气氛带到室外，起到了展示窗口的作用，也起到了餐厅的窗口座位的作用。

The front side facing the busy street has large openings utilizing 4m-high ceilings, and the side facing the alley has small windows creating an illusion that makes people misunderstand the number of floors in the building. Among the houses and shops with the same height, the facade highlights a gap in the sense of scale. The large and small windows function well corresponding to the styles and industries of the tenants, they function as display windows by bringing the inside atmosphere to the outside, and they also function as window seats in restaurants.

由高度差产生的平台变成了一楼大窗前的长椅。座椅将建筑与公众联系起来。即使建筑位于大城市的中心，窗户也捕捉到了人们走在街道上的场景，天空也被切割成大框架。窗户周围光滑的混凝土成品模子，与粗犷的外墙水洗成品混凝土和内部月牙形混凝土墙形成对比，增强了框架的功能。

The platform generated from height difference turns to be a bench in front of the large window on the first floor. The seat connects the building to the public. The windows capture the scenes of people walking down the street and sky cut into the large frame even though the building is located in the very center of a big city. The smooth concrete finished mold around the windows, contrasted with the rough exterior wall of washing-finished concrete and the interior lauan form concrete wall, enhances the function of framing

这种类似于装修的方法，按照一个形象的方式将现有的建筑体切割出开口，虽然简单，但却能吸引到不断变化的光线，为RC建筑提供了一个充满活力的表情。

The renovation-like method, which follows an image of cutting out the openings to an existing body, is simple, but it draws in the ever-changing light, providing a vibrant expression to the RC building.
