这栋小小的两层木结构住宅坐落在东京市中心的某居民区中，屋主一对奉行极简主义生活的夫妇，他们几乎真正做到了“断舍离”。住宅坐落于紧凑的场地中，屋主人希望设计师能够在该住宅中营造宽敞通透的空间氛围，而不是局限于物理层面上的大空间。
This small two-story, wood-frame house is tucked into a downtown residential neighborhood. The clients, a couple with minimalist taste and few superfluous possessions, wanted a private home on the compact lot that prioritized a spacious atmosphere over physically large rooms.

项目所在地块坐落于一条狭窄道路的北侧，周边是高密度的住宅区。为了在这个拥挤的城市环境中保护居住者的隐私，建筑师在面向街道的立面上没有设置任何开窗，而是利用庭院与天窗为室内空间引入自然光线。坚固的木制框架使建筑的临街立面得到最高效的利用。
The lot abuts the north side of a narrow road and is hemmed in by closely packed houses. To preserve privacy in this environment, the façade facing the street has no windows; all natural light comes from a courtyard and clerestory windows. We used a rigid wood frame to make the most efficient use of the frontage.

如同大门一般的框架结构代替了承重墙，使房屋的北立面能够开设三扇与立面等宽的落地窗，立面上方还设有一排天窗。内置壁式存储空间利用了框架结构的形状，因此，即使空间中没有额外的家具，其功能性也一目了然。
The gate-shaped frame avoids the need for load-bearing walls on the north side of the house, allowing for three windows to occupy the full width of that side, with a row of clerestory windows above. Built-in wall storage takes advantage of the shape of the frame’s posts, making the space functional even without additional furniture.

良好的采光是本项目最显著的特征。在占据整个二楼的家庭活动室中，北侧的三扇窗户将柔和的漫射光线引入室内。与此同时，南方的直射阳光沿着倾斜的屋顶照射进来，并被墙壁反射到房间内部，进而照亮了窗户附近的区域。之后，照射进二楼的日光穿过地板格栅散落在一楼的卧室和浴室中。
The most striking feature of the house, however, is the daylighting. In the family room that occupies the whole of the second floor, the three north-side windows let in soft, diffuse light. Meanwhile, direct southern sunlight shines in along the sloped roof and is reflected off a wall into the room, brightening the area near the windows. This light filters through floor grating onto the first floor, where the bedroom and bathroom are located.

除此之外，自然光线还会由北侧的天窗倾泻而下，在倾斜的山墙天花板上投射出美丽的层次感，同时保证后部厨房获得充足的采光。
In addition, light pours through clerestory windows running the length of the north side, casting beautiful gradations on the sloped gable ceiling and ensuring that the kitchen at the back of the house receives adequate light.

在巧妙的设计下，整个建筑都变身为自然光线的反射器，在住宅空间内形成了一个充满漫射光的独立宇宙，空间氛围与视觉感受也因此变得宽敞通透，完美迎合了屋主人宁静致远的性格。
By treating the entire building as a reflector, we succeeded in creating a separate universe of diffuse light that makes the rooms feel spacious and echoes the uniquely tranquil character of the residents.
