这座引人注目的小住宅位于离东京市中心不远的一个安静住宅区内，建筑位于街角，由两个堆叠的立方体块组成。上下两个体块在材料上呈现出鲜明的对比：底部体量采用了裸露的混凝土，而上部体量则采用了复合木材。木结构的二层体块悬挑于入口停车场的上方，采用了动态无柱设计，距离地面2.7米。

Located in a quiet residential neighborhood not far from downtown, this striking house on a corner lot is comprised of two stacked cubes made of contrasting materials: exposed concrete on the bottom and composite lumber on top. The wood-frame second-floor volume juts out 2.7 m over the parking area adjacent to the entrance in a dynamic columnless design.

为了确保一楼主卧室和儿童卧室的私密性，建筑的底层被带有日本雪松模板肌理的混凝土高墙所包围，这种设计阻挡了来自路上行人的视线，为室内创造出充足的隐私。

To ensure privacy in the first-floor master bedroom and children’s bedroom, the building is enclosed by a high concrete wall imprinted with the Japanese cedar formwork used to make it, which blocks views of the interior from the street.

起居-餐厅-厨房区域以及浴室位于二楼。与生活区相邻的户外客厅中设有室外家具和盆栽植物，这个区域将室内外自然地衔接在一起，同时也为浴室引入了迷人的景色。

The living-dining-kitchen area and bathroom are on the second floor. An adjacent outdoor living room with exterior furniture and potted plants unifies the interior and exterior and creates an attractive view from the bathroom.

刻意压低的天花板为厨房区域营造出舒适的氛围，同时与餐厅和客厅的开放氛围形成对比。厨房岛台和餐厅区既可以作为日常用餐的场所，也可以作为居家办公的空间，天花板高度的差异丰富了这些多功能空间的氛围。

The kitchen is cozy with a low ceiling, while the dining and living room are open with a high ceiling. This height differential varies the mood in these linked multipurpose spaces, where the kitchen island and dining area can be used for work as well as meals.

客厅北侧的天窗为室内引入了微妙的漫射光线，而这些光线又通过楼梯间渗透到一楼入口。现代意大利家具和灯具、胡桃木天花板，以及灰褐色饰面营造出优雅的空间格调，而来自私人庭院的自然光则轻轻地笼罩着这个宽敞开放的家庭空间，为室内营造出安静舒适的生活氛围。

A skylight on the north side of the living room fills the space with subtle, diffuse light that filters down the stairwell to the first story entrance. Modern Italian furniture and light fixtures, walnut ceilings, and taupe finishes produce an elegant atmosphere, while natural light from the private courtyard gently swathes the interior of this spacious, hushed home.
