Appreciation towards HITOSHI WAKAMATSU ARCHITECT AND ASSOCIATES for providing the following description:

六层高的樱之集合公寓位于日本东京一隅。北侧是一排樱花树，东边则接临大片的绿地。建筑师在建筑的中心部分建立垂直核心筒，围绕核心筒布置了11个出租单元。建筑的外形从任何方向看过去都是一个性格。

混凝土楼板连接7个箱体，箱体之间的空间是共享露台，这是介于公共与私有的暧昧空间。每个住宅单元占据一层的单个或几个箱体（个别户型是复式），每个房间都有自然通风和采光。屋顶一片弧状的混凝土片串联起几个箱体，形成共享的遮阳棚。

Sakura Apartment is a six-storey apartment building on a corner lot in Tokyo. A row of cherry trees stands to the north of the site, and an expanse of greenery stretches to the east. Leading the outside path of approach into the heart of the building, the architect established a vertical traffic line and arranged eleven rental units around the perimeter. The building is designed to present a frontal facade from whatever direction it is viewed.

The seven box-like volumes are connected by concrete slabs, the exterior corridor spaces between them serving as shared terraces, having ambiguous distinctions between private and common territory. Each dwelling unit is formed as a complex of several of the box volumes. The use of the box unit in composing the overall volume has enabled every room to receive ventilation and natural light.
