在我们第一次参观现场的时候，下午突然下了阵雨，我们不得不冲到房子的屋檐下，躲在前面的屋檐下。虽然该遗址距离东京都会区在通勤距离之内，但自然仍然是一个强大的存在。

On our first visit to the site we were greeted by a sudden late afternoon shower and had to rush to shelter under the eaves of the house that previously stood there. While the site is within commuting distance from the Tokyo metropolitan area, nature remains a powerful presence.

由于我们的访问，我们开始考虑一个欢迎的建筑形式，将与周围的自然环境共存，并温和地拥抱家庭成员的生活。

As a result of our visit, we began to think of a welcoming architectural form that would co-exist with the surrounding natural environment and gently embrace the lives of the family members.

屋檐向四面八方延伸1.5米的屋顶是房子的特点。内部几乎没有分区，因此产生了很大的开放空间。

A roof with eaves that extend 1.5 meters in all directions characterizes the house. There are almost no partitions inside, resulting in a large open space.

像一棵大树，家庭成员可以休息，房子拥抱它的居民，并提供一个轻松和舒适的生活接近自然。大屋顶使房子可以随着家庭的成长或生活方式的改变而向任何方向扩展。

Like a big tree under which the family members can rest, the house embraces its inhabitants and provides a relaxed and comfortable life close to nature. The large roof allows the house to be expanded in any direction as the family grows or their lifestyle changes.
