一个两代人的住宅坐落在一个小城市的郊区。客户是一位从事当地音乐教育的音乐家，要求我们设计一个具有小型音乐厅功能的住宅。由于客户从事的是地区性的大产业--水泥行业，所以我们决定使用混凝土作为主要建筑材料。

A two-generation residence sits in the suburb of a small city. The client, a musician involved with local music education, requested us a home with a small music hall function. Since the client works in the cement business, a major regional industry, we decided to use concrete as the primary construction material.

长方形的地块呈南北走向，东南侧有一条河流。东边的河道和稻田的视野完全开阔，西边的筑后山也清晰可见。

The rectangular lot is aligned north-to-south, with a river running along the south-east side. The east view towards the river and rice fields beyond it is completely open, while Chikuhou Mountains are visible to the west.

各层室内空间的特点各不相同。一楼是南北通透的花园，有作为画廊的大玄关，也有作为音乐厅的起居室，还有主要由年轻一代使用的餐厅、厨房和卧室。独特的弧形天花板将天窗的柔和光线分布到空间中。相比之下，老一辈居住的二楼则向东西两边开放，可以俯瞰河流和丰富的自然风光。与一楼相比，尺度更小，更封闭。管状的房间被设计成坐在地上休息的地方。

The character of the interior spaces differs on each floor. The first floor, which opens onto gardens that runs from north to south, includes a large entryway that also serves as a gallery and a living room as the music hall, as well as a dining room, kitchen, and bedroom used primarily by the younger generation. The distinctive curved ceiling distribute the soft light from the skylights into the space. In contrast, the second floor, where the older generation lives, opens to the east and west overlooking the river and the rich natural scenery. Compared to the first floor the scale is smaller and more enclosed. The tube-shape rooms were designed as places to relax sitting on the floor.

建筑有可能成为一种文化和社会资产，即使是住宅也可以超越其作为个人生活空间的作用。就在几代人之前，日本的住宅还被用作帮助创建社区的仪式聚会的场所。在这个项目中，空间不仅丰富了客户的生活，而且通过其作为音乐厅和画廊的功能，成为丰富整个社区的中心点。

Architecture has the potential to become a cultural and social asset. Even residences can go beyond their role as the space for individual lives. Just a few generations ago homes in Japan were used as sites for the ceremonial gatherings that helped to create communities. In this project the space not only enriches the life of the client, but through its function as a concert hall and gallery it becomes a center-point for enriching the entire community.
