该项目被命名为冈村住宅，由建筑师Christian Kerez设计完成，位于Prague 6区，具体位置为Adolf Loos的Müller别墅附近。该项目为传统的砖砌建筑风格，整个项目由多个大小不一的砖砌“圆柱体”组成，里面包含有3个公寓，总共设计有39个圆形房间。建筑师Christian Kerez在项目中没有设计内墙，即建筑内部均是一个完整的大空间，外墙就是房间的分隔墙。此外，由于其独特的配置，公寓在楼层之间的位置会发生变化，因此垂直竖井中的房间属于不同的业主。房间设计的面积为4到18㎡不等，室内高度为2.35~4.9m不等，除圆形房间外，其他空间还设计有19个房间。所以，该项目总共设计有58个房间。

In Prague 6, within close proximity to Villa Müller by Adolf Loos, architect Christian Kerez completes House Okamura as a clear example of a very traditional, almost archaic method of constructing brick ‘circles’. The project, designed as an aggregate of column-like volumes, hosts three apartments with 39 rooms, combined. Kerez omitted dividing walls from the interior layout, making the outline of every single space visible from the outside. More so, thanks to their unique configuration, the apartments shift positions from floor to floor so that rooms in the vertical shafts belong to different owners. The rooms vary from 4 sqm to 18 sqm in size and 2.35 meters to 4.9 meters in height, with an additional 19 spaces in between the circular rooms, making it a total of 58 rooms.

Okamura公寓中所有空间都是开放的，这些空间的面积范围是90~110㎡。

正如Christian Kerez所解释的那样，重叠的圆形房间的不同尺寸会导致这些开口的方向发生不可预测的变化。看似随机分布，创造了一种走在迷宫中的感觉。“这是一个向内开放的空间，通过严谨的几何排列，在实际上受限的边界内产生扩张感。圆形房间的布局每层都在发生变化，”这位捷克建筑师继续说道。

All spaces within one apartment of House Okamura are open to each other, with areas varying between 90 sqm and 110 sqm. As Christian Kerez (see more here) explains, the different sizes of the overlapping circular rooms create unpredictable changes in the direction of these openings. The latter seem to be randomly positioned and create a labyrinth-like movement. ‘It is a space that opens in on itself, generating an impression of expansion within actually limited boundaries, as intended by the rigorous geometrical arrangement. The layout of the circular rooms changes from one level to another,’ continues the Czechian architect.

在项目中，电梯、储藏间和卫生间的位置都被设计在圆形房间之间的空档处。这些空档都较为小，且形状不规整，与建筑中的主要使用空间完全相反，其空间可以利用门进行封闭。Christian Kerez设计师的设计概念是如何将功能房间聚合成一系列的连贯空间。该项目采用传统的砖砌结构，建造方法简单且速度快。

Meanwhile, the elevator, storage, and sanitary area are all tucked between the circular rooms of House Okamura. These intermediate spaces, which can be entirely closed off with doors, are minimal, fragmented, and convex, as opposed to the open, perfectly concave main zones. Concluding his thoughts, Christian Kerez highlights how the spatial concept of autonomous rooms aggregated to a sequence of spaces feels radical and new while the whole project resorts to traditional brick construction, which is easier to build on site than orthogonal spaces.
