该建筑位于东京市中心的一个住宅区，周围既有古老的寺庙也有现代化住宅。Kagurazaka slope是该地区的主要商业街，以其数百年的文化历史而闻名。Roji则是从主街划分出来的狭窄小巷，有许多隐藏的魅力。设计团队一直在思考，什么样的集合住宅才能更好地适应这里丰富的人文地理环境。

▼项目概览，overview

This building is located in a residential area in the heart of Tokyo amid a mixture of old temples and modern houses. Kagurazaka slope, the area’s main market street, is known for its centuries-long cultural history. Roji, narrow alleys with a lot of hidden charm, branch from the main street. We attempted to determine what design of collective housing would fit into the area’s rich context.

▼建筑正立面，the front facade

房屋门前的台阶平缓下降，许多细微的差别让人不禁好奇这里旧时的模样。整条小道由日式屋顶瓦片铺就，一旁的镂空墙则由混凝土板建造而成。在晚上，这里充满了从墙上的矩形木框玻璃窗透进来的静谧灯光。
