Appreciation towards Yasutaka Yoshimura for providing the following description:

周末度假小屋，一面朝向富士山，一面朝向江之岛，是山海之间的存在。场地占地为3*8米，十分薄的宽度，因此建筑顺利成章的设计为三层。小屋被挑起，一层完全开放，解放阻挡路人看海的视线。而在建筑上面两层，薄薄体量的两侧宽立面上开了一对大窗户，从一侧可以看穿到另一侧，因此，小住宅成为陆地与海洋间的一个超链接。非日常的设定，带来绝对不一样的休闲体验。

A weekend house facing to the Sagami Bay with a view to Mt. Fuji and Enoshima. The site is just 3 x 8m with 60% of footprint, and the building has become 3-stories almost automatically because the ground floor had to be a pilot by consideration of the storm surge. It seemed difficult to avoid blocking the view of the neighborhood behind. So I designed large openings both at the sea-side and the roadside in order to keep the view passing through the building during the absence of the owner. And there is a view to the mountains at the road-side indeed. It stands between land and sea and became a house as a window to see through each other.
