建筑坐落于一个安静的居民区，这里的土地被分成小块，小型木制的老屋子和公寓随机分布在街旁。这在日本是一个非常常见的郊区街景模式，没有任何具体功能作为设计线索。

客户所提出的要求非常低调简单：他们询问我们是否能提供一个有足够自然通风，光线和隐私的房子。

我们决定在封闭的庭院式房屋上做文章，但是在此同时我们又想在这样的郊区环境下把房子和街景之间的关系建立得更好。

我们的解决方案是切开沿街的水泥墙，在一些地方开空。这样人们就能看见部分的树以及漆成白色的墙。因此居民能看见和听见街上发生的事情。

水泥浇筑时用复合木塑性，水泥墙粗糙的质地帮助房子很好地融入周围灰色的街景环境。房屋东侧设有缓坡，使房子和地面高差达到800毫米。

房子由两个内扣的旗杆形内外饰空间构成，“旗杆”意味着在一侧有更大的体积（旗），而另一侧则是纤细的体量（杆）连接在上面。

为了能补足斜坡造成的高差，“杆”部分的地面降低了半层，最终导致房子错层，剖面上出现四个不一样的层面。

剖面
底层“旗杆”部分的室外空间也使用相同的手法处理的，露台和庭院被放置在不同高度。最终我们在室内室外有8个不同的层高。每个室内空间都松散地被室外露台或庭院连结。居住者从一个地方移动到另一个地方，无需经过露台和庭院，又享受丰富的空间层次感。

The site is situated in a quiet residential neighborhood where land is divided into small lots and tiny aging wooden houses and apartments stand randomly along the streets. It is a very common suburban streetscape in Japan, without any specific feature to serve as a clue for design.

The requests from our client were very modest and simple: they asked us to provide sufficient natural ventilation, light and privacy. We decided to work with an enclosed courtyard house plan, but at the same time we wanted to establish better relationship between house and streetscape in this suburban context.

Our solution was to cut through the concrete walls along the streets to make openings in some parts. Here people can partially see trees and white painted walls through these openings from the street, and residents can see and hear what’s happening on the streets through them.

Concrete was cast using plywood forms. Rough texture of the concrete walls helps the house to blend in the surrounding grayish streetscape. A gentle slope runs along the east side of the site, creating 800mm height difference in ground levels.

The house is composed of two interlocking ‘flagpole’ shaped interior and exterior spaces, while ‘flagpole’ meaning a larger volume (‘flag)’ on one side with slender volume (‘pole’) attached to it. In order to meet the height difference along the slope, floor level of the ‘pole’ part is lowered by half floor level, and as a result the house has a skipped-floor section with four different floor levels.

Section

Floor level of ‘pole’ part in exterior space is adjusted in the same way, creating terraces and court at different height. As a result we set eight different floor levels inside and outside. Each of interior space is loosely connected by exterior terrace or court at different levels. Residents move from one place to another along skipped corridor and terraces, while enjoying rich spatial sequence along the way.
