Gradually House, Japan 逐層內退的房子，日本

位處東京市郊人口綢密的住宅區練馬，戶與戶之間幾乎都沒有前園，分隔馬路、鄰居與室內生活空間就只有薄墻。有見及此，建筑師嘗試在有限的空間變出前園，進一步分隔私人與公共空間。大膽改動原本兩層高的住宅結構，面向街的一面，劃分三層逐層向內退，露出的空地變成前園，上層加建陽臺，補償失去的室內空間。屋頂邊緣向內折，造成一個垂直的空洞，讓自然光滲入屋內。

In the densely packed residential area in Tokyo’s suburban Nerima district, the front yard is almost nonexistent, thin walls separates the roads and neighbouring houses from the indoor private space. In this 2-storey residential building, architects contorted the form and created a 3-layered setback from the street. The setback makes up a buffer space for a typical Japanese front yard garden, the terrace above the entrance provides a humble urban retreat for the family. Roof are folded inwards, creating a verticalchamber of natural light to shine through the house.
