建筑是一座有纹样（crest）的房子，立面上的孔洞呈十字排列，如同穿线孔一样。光线经过这些孔洞照射入内部，圆形的光影带来充满寓意的光影游戏，光线不断移动从不凝滞，有时显现，有时消隐。

The holes are lined up on a cross shape. The hole is made on the architecture like the perforated line. This architecture is “House with Crest”. A light that penetrates into the architecture always moves and never stays. It is a symbolical spectacle. A light that goes through the hole is projected in a circle shape, moves unlimitedly, and never stays. Occasionally, it disappears, and it appears.

场地位于京都Gojo一处典型的传统居住区内，西侧是一条4米宽的繁华街道，东侧临近一栋45米高的建筑的背面，南北两侧则紧邻着周边的住宅房屋。

The site is located in Gojo, Kyoto. It is in a block of the typical division of a traditional residential area in Kyoto. The site faces the busy street of 4m in width on the west side.　 The backside of the high-rise buildings of 45m line up on the east side of the site. The neighbor houses are closely built in the south and the north of the site.

建筑师将住宅的一层空间向天空延伸，抬升至3米高，下部作为停车区，如此形成围绕三个内部空间的两个外部空间，自然风与光线汇聚在两处中空的外部空间中，蔓延流通至内部空间。

We “lift the one-storied house to the sky” to create calm interior space. It is lifted to 3m in the sky. The space under that is lent as a parking lot. The one-storied house lifted to the sky makes “two outside spaces placed among three inside spaces”. The wind and the light of nature gather from the sky into two outside void spaces. And that extends to three inside spaces.
