小宅子位于靠近东京的住宅区。这里的大多数房屋前面都留着一个院子。建筑师把场地看成一个花园，呈三种角度错落排列的建筑体量形成不同的舒适花园，新生活就在这里展开。屋子与花园更多的联系，每个明确的空间里头有一个拱形开口，空间错落有致的相连，在这些房间中穿梭行走就像是一场“旅途”。

Dwelling as a Journey

Summary

This building’s site is a sectionalized residential district close to Tokyo. On each surrounding site, there is a court yard in front of the house, and almost the houses are built in a similar layout. In contrast, we treated the site as a garden and arranged our proposal thinking about how to make the garden comfortable. Thus, this house was created by connecting three types of volumes of different angle.  From this a new life style “house into a garden” can begin.

Concept

To arrange many gardens on this site, the form of this house is created by connecting three types of volumes. The garden constantly connects inside, creating a lifestyle inside the house close to the garden. Rounded openings softly separate spaces from where one stands and. The spaces of different levels connect personal spaces to each other. Walking around various personal spaces of this house becomes like a “journey.”
