住宅位于Minakuchi-juku的老街道，是东海道53个阶段之一。尽管在江户时期，这里曾经被修整过，社区空间和道路依然狭窄和拥挤。想要在住宅与街道之间预留较大的活动空间几乎是不可能的。尽管场地的东北角似乎位置不错，但场地东南部的房屋却很难落成。因此，设计师将场地东南部向内设计成花园。这种设计不仅解决了场地限制所带来的问题，也让住宅的居住环境更加丰富怡人。花园内的季节性大树如同住宅的代表符号一般，居住者可以从各个角度观赏到它。炎炎夏日中，它茂密的树叶为住宅提供必要的遮挡，冷酷的冬季里，它落败的树叶又将暖阳引入室内。住宅与四季一同变化。
This house is located along old streetscape in “Minakuchi-juku”, which is one of Fifty-three stages of the Tokaido. Although, it was consolidated during the Edo Period. The community road and the space are narrow, so it’s impossible to make large space between the road and the house, and it’s difficult to build a house in the southeast in spite of the corner location in the northeast, which is good site location. So, I arranged inner garden in southeast. In doing so, I not only solved the problem point concerning the ground, but also made rich living climate. There is a symbolic deciduous tree in the inner garden which is visible from anywhere in, it plays a role as sunshade in leafy summer and as letting the sunshine in in non-leafy winter. The clients can enjoy the change of the seasons and time through the symbolic tree.
