Zicatela House是一个小型的周末别墅，位于墨西哥瓦哈卡州的Puerto Escondido旁边的Zicatela海滩前的山顶上。
Zicatela House is a small weekend house located on top of a hill in front of Zicatela beach, next to Puerto Escondido in the state of Oaxaca, Mexico.
房子设计的主要目的只有一个：让业主有机会离开墨西哥城，与超大都市和城市生活习惯做一个了断，通过来得到一些休息和放松，同时享受墨西哥海岸的炎热和瓦哈卡州的宁静之光。
The house was designed with one main purpose: to give the owner the opportunity to leave Mexico City to make a break with the megalopolis and urban habits, by coming to get some rest and relax while enjoying the heat of the Mexican coast and the peaceful light of Oaxaca.
这所房子回应了双重景观，一边是海滩和大海的背景，另一边是山和龙舌兰田地，植物是由mezcal和龙舌兰酒制成的。这个项目有一个非常有趣的个性，就是作为一个乡间的房子，旁边是海，而不是海边的房子。
This house responds to a double landscape, on one side in the background the beach and the sea, on the other side the mountains and agave fields, the plant from which is made mezcal and tequila. This project has a very interesting personality of being a countryside house next to the sea, instead of a beach house.
这个房子就是基于这种双重性，周围环境的双重性，它既能回应山体，又能作为一个堡垒进行保护，同时也是一个宽阔的空间；给你一种住在外面花园里的感觉，让进和出的边界消失。
The house is based on this duality, the duality of its surroundings and it’s able to respond to the mountains and be protective as a fortress as well as a wide-open space; giving you the feeling to live outside in a garden, making the border between in and out disappear.
Zicatela房子建在300平方米的小地块上，采用防御性建筑的类型学，一堵墙将地形完全包围起来，帮助内部形成一个100%的控制区域，使其变成一个开放的空中堡垒，只有一个朝向天空的主视角，这是时间上唯一的永久元素。
Zicatela House is built on a small 300 m2 plot, using a typology of defensive architecture, where a wall surrounds the terrain completely, helping create a 100% controlled area on the inside, turning it into an open-sky fortress, with only one main view towards the sky, the only permanent element in time.
这座房子外面是一个碉堡，是我以前在诺曼底–我出生的地方–看到的那种巨大的混凝土结构，里面保护着一座墨西哥金字塔，是我在墨西哥旅行时看到的那种金字塔，我在这个国家已经生活和工作了10年。
The house is a bunker on the outside, one of those massive concrete structures I used to see in Normandy -where I was born-, protecting a Mexican pyramid on the inside, one of those I see when I travel around Mexico, the country where I’ve been living and working for 10 years now.
