架构师提供的文本描述。客户是一对50多岁的夫妇，都是全职工作。他们的计划是重建他们父母在城市地区的房子，以便和他们的母亲住在一起。该遗址位于一个密集的居民区，人们可以在那里找到东京旧日的遗迹。为了为未来可能发生的自然灾害做好准备，这对夫妇希望建造一座钢筋混凝土框架结构房屋，具有较高的耐火和抗震能力。由于场地是一个变形的小形状，它被要求达到最大的容量，同时避免倒退线限制在房子的每一边。

Text description provided by the architects. The client is a couple in their 50s and both work full-time. Their plan was to rebuild their parents’ house in the urban area in order to live with their mother. The site is located in a dense residential area where one can find the remnant of good old days of Tokyo. In order to prepare for possible natural disasters in the future, the couple wished to build a house of reinforced concrete box frame construction with high resistance to fire and earthquakes. Since the site is small with a deformed shape, it was required to achieve the maximum capacity while avoiding setback-line limits on each side of the house.

房子建在一条死胡同的尽头，所以我们不可能看到它的全貌。该建筑物由三层楼组成，地上两层，地下室一层，地下室半层埋在地下，利用放宽限制，以达到最大容量。

One cannot have a full view of the house since it is built at the very end of a blind alley. The building consists of three stories, with two floors above ground and a basement floor, and a half of the basement floor is buried underground in order to achieve the maximum capacity by taking advantage of easing of the restrictions.

这片变形土地的轮廓是三维挤压而成的，外露的混凝土箱体，顶部有一个像尖顶帽子的屋顶，吸引了过路人的目光。

The outline of the deformed land was extruded three dimensionally to form the house, and the charming appearance of the exposed concrete box topped with a roof resembling a pointed hat catches the eye of passers-by.

他们母亲的房间在半地下室的地板上，在门庭入口旁边的楼梯上。整个平面图设计紧凑：夫妻二人的空间在一楼，有两间自习室，分别供夫妻使用；书房之间有一间卧室；以及一个潮湿的区域。虽然室内空间从外表上看是相当封闭的，但室内空间是通过提供庭院来实现的，室内空间具有开放感和丰富的自然光。

Their mother’s room is on the semi-basement floor, down the stairs next to the entrance in the entrance court. The entire floor plan is designed compactly: the couple’s space is on the first floor with two study rooms, for the husband and wife respectively; a bedroom between the studies; and a wet area. Although it appears rather closed from the outside, the interior space with a sense of openness with abundant natural light is achieved by providing the courtyard.

二楼的家庭房沿折线界限成形，木耙代替钢筋混凝土屋架，形成了一种独特的混合结构形式。

The family room on the second floor is shaped along the setback-line limits, and the wooden rafters are used for the roof truss instead of reinforced concrete ones, creating a unique appearance of the mixed structure.

在阁楼的小空间里，一个人感觉到一个独特的向心力，庭院里有一个庭院，这不知怎的提醒了一个蒙古包，一个蒙古游牧民的住所。整个屋顶被环境光照亮，在如此小的空间中创造安全感，仿佛停留在一棵大树下。

One feels a distinct centripetal force in the loft-like small space with a courtyard, which somehow reminding one of a yurt, a dwelling of Mongolian nomads. The entire roof is lit up by the ambient light, creating a sense of security in such a small space, as if staying under the shelter of a big tree.
