这座位于东京的小房子拥有一个相当具有特色的露台，从造型上看，房屋一半的体量分给了露台。建筑师期望通过这个设计证明：私人性质的室外空间对生活品质提高可起到关键性作用，同时也能让业主与参与户外一系列事件。

Little House with a Big Terrace is a lucid example of having large external space in small urban residence with limited site area of Tokyo. Through the process of designing this house, we tried to prove that having rich private external space was important for making crucial difference in the quality of life inside the house, as well as obtaining various possibilities of external activity.

因为业主希望在阳光下自由的做瑜伽，所以建筑师在二楼起居室的外侧设置了一个充满阳光和新鲜空气的大露台。露台与起居室直接相连，将落地窗打开，起居室与露台便完全融为一体。

The first thing we decided was having an open-air space next to the main part of the residence, and connecting them with big opening of windows. Big Windows, which are necessary for making internal spaces spacious, well-lighted and airy, are one of the most costly parts of buildings, so we concentrated them to selected places, effective for improving the quality of internal spaces. Considering that the client couple’s original request was having a big terrace for doing yoga freely under the sun, connecting the terrace to the living room and the bedroom with big windows was the best way to offer fresh air and daylight to the internal spaces, like having respiratory organ to let the house breathe.

二楼露台的下方便是一楼的半开放停车场。虽然住宅位于东京的高密度住宅区，但是该地块却拥有绝佳的照明条件和阳光。大矩形的一半成为“空儿”－－也就是露台，能够捕获到更多的阳光。同时为了弥补面积的损失，建筑师将一层标高下降，然后在一层和二层之间打造了一个专门用作储存的夹层，该层层高低于1米4。最终，经过建筑师的精心安排，建筑功能合理，同时露台和起居室都最大限度的获得了开放以及阳光。

The second floor level of the eastern half of the site was chosen as private open-air space, because that place was facing to the rooftop of the single story garage of a neighboring house on the south. Thanks to the lower height of the garage, this place is exposed to the sunlight in the high density residential area, which is a relatively rare situation in Tokyo. By making a big rectangular tube here penetrating north-south, a bright and airy open space can be obtained. At the same time, the privacy of this external space is protected against very close windows of neighboring houses on the east, by the wall of the tube closed to that direction.

The tube was tried to be made as large as possible, because larger external space can catch more sunshine and larger blue sky. However, having large external space in the limited site area means reduction of the internal space of the house. To make up for the loss of the floor area, an attic for storage was inserted between the first floor and the second, whose ceiling height is less than 1400 mm. By this arrangement, this house obtained a sufficient amount of the practicable space while the daylighting of the living room and terrace was improved, because the levels of those spaces were pushed up higher.

最终，小房子的大露台创造出联系外部的无限舒适空间。在高密度的城市中。让房屋宽敞的有效方法不是一味扩大有限的内部空间，而是要把有限的室内空间与无限的外部空间关联。

As you have already seen, Little House with a Big Terrace creates comfortable internal spaces by connecting them to the unlimited extension of external space. The most effective way to achieve real spaciousness of urban houses in high density residential area is to incorporate unlimited external spaces into design rather than trying to make internal spaces larger, which is inevitably limited by the size of site area.
