该住宅位于东京郊区，与业主母亲的房子相邻。这是一种多代人居住的新形式：长辈可以在自己家和儿女家之间随意走动。

This residence located in a suburban Tokyo neighborhood sits adjacent to the client’s mother’s house. It is a new take on the multi-generation residence, allowing the mother to go back and forth as she pleases between her own home and that of her son and his wife.

▼住宅外观，exterior view

▼入口处的走廊使人想起狭窄的巷道，the approach evokes the nostalgic mood of a narrow lane

建筑的简洁立面包覆着黑色的铝锌合金镀层金属板（Galvalume）。入口处的走廊使人想起狭窄的巷道，穿过走廊之后便进入了位于C形平面中央的宽阔庭院。入口旁边是一个开放的榻榻米室，可以用作客人卧室或者第二个客厅，再往后是业主母亲的卧室，这两个房间都享有庭院的美景。入口的另一侧设有露天浴室，浸润在来自旁边小庭院的明媚阳光里。庭院本身还可以被用作晒衣区。
