Japanese architecture studio Unemori Architects has designed a small house formed of several stacked boxes wrapped in corrugated steel on a 26-square-metre plot in Tokyo.
Named House Tokyo, the house was designed to make most of a small plot of land in a densely populated area of the Japanese capital.
“With the building area of just 26 square metres we used the small space to its maximum,” Unemori Architects founder Hiroyuki Unemori told.
“You have to be experimental and clever with regards to its utmost usage and we looked towards how diverse and extendable the space could be within the tiny plot.”
日本建築工作室Unemori Architects在東京一個26平方米的土地上設計了一個小房子，該房子由數個用波紋鋼包裹的堆疊盒子組成。
這座房子名為“東京住宅”，旨在將日本首都人口稠密地區中的一小塊土地全部用作土地。
Unemori Architects創始人Hiroyuki Unemori說：“由於建築面積僅為26平方米，我們最大限度地利用了小空間。”
“對於它的最大用途，您必須具有實驗性和機敏性，我們關注的是該小塊土地上空間的多樣性和可擴展性。”
The studio designed the house around a geometrically structured wooden framework with the upper floor set back from the street to create a small terrace.
All of the outer walls were made from cement clad in industrial corrugated galvinised steel.
該工作室圍繞著幾何結構的木製框架設計了房屋，其高層從街道向後傾斜，形成了一個小露台。
所有的外壁都是用工業瓦楞鍍鋅鋼複合水泥製成的。
Although it was built in a dense urban area, where neighbouring buildings are close by, House Tokyo was placed slightly away from the sight boundaries to allow more light into the house.
“The exterior wall of House Tokyo is partly offset from the dense surrounding houses,” Unemori explained.
“The small gap between the neighbouring houses brings a view to the sky, wind circulation and of course sunlight.”
儘管東京房屋建在人口稠密的市區內，附近的建築物都在附近，但東京房屋的位置離視線範圍略遠，以允許更多的光線進入房屋。
Unemori解釋說：“東京房屋的外牆與周圍的密集房屋有部分偏移。”
“相鄰房屋之間的小縫隙可以欣賞到天空，風的流通，當然還有陽光。”
Large windows open the house up to its surroundings and break up the corrugated-iron facade.
“As the windows are oriented in different directions, various daylight atmospheres fill the room throughout the day,” Unemori said.
大窗戶使房子向周圍敞開，並打破了波紋鐵皮外牆。
Unemori說：“由於窗戶朝向不同的方向，因此整天在房間內充斥著各種日光氣氛。”
Inside the house, ceiling heights range from 1.9 metres to 4.7 metres with the house’s wooden structure has been left visible as a decorative detail.
在房屋內部，天花板高度從1.9米到4.7米不等，房屋的木結構作為裝飾細節可見。
“The differing ceiling heights within the suspended inner wooden structure and the distance to other buildings were challenges, as well as the task of designing a pleasant living experience in such a small space,” Unemori said.
Unemori說：“懸吊的內部木製結構中不同的天花板高度以及與其他建築物的距離是挑戰，也是在如此狹小的空間中設計令人愉悅的生活體驗的任務。”
The house has a total floor area of 51 square metres, spread over two floors.
A bedroom, bathroom and storage area were located on the semi-basement ground floor, while the open plan kitchen and dining areas are housed on the first floor.
這房子的總建築面積為51平方米，分佈在兩層樓上。
一間臥室，浴室和儲藏區位於半地下一層，而開放式廚房和用餐區位於二樓。
The house was built as a private residence, but the owners plan to eventually rent it out, so Unemori Architects designed the bedroom so that it can be divided into two rooms if needed.
As the owners lead a busy life, the small footprint of the flat isn’t an issue.
這所房子建為私人住宅，但業主計劃最終將其出租，因此，Unemori Architects設計了臥室，以便在需要時可以將其分為兩個房間。
由於業主過著忙碌的生活，公寓的佔地面積小並不是問題。
“The client has a very urban lifestyle, such as eating out and using public bathing facilities, so the city is their extended house,” Unemori explained.
“They use the House Tokyo for sleeping, working and living.”
Other recent residential projects in Tokyo include Tanijiri Makoto’s cave-like House T and Case-Real’s compact house clad in galvanised steel panels.

Unemori解釋說：“客戶有一種非常都市的生活方式，例如外出就餐和使用公共洗浴設施，因此這座城市是他們的延伸房屋。”
“他們利用東京之屋來睡覺，工作和生活。”
東京最近的其他住宅項目包括Tanijiri Makoto的類似洞穴的House T和Case-Real的緊湊型房屋，均採用鍍鋅鋼板包覆。
