Alférez峡谷的房屋项目起源于小木屋的概念和森林中的保护性住所的浪漫想法;一个孤立的房屋寻求类似于沉积在地面上的物体,在树林中。房子的设计是基于3个要点开发的:

The project of the house of the Alférez Gorge takes its origin from the concept of a cabin and the romantic idea of a protective shelter in the middle of the forest; an isolated house seeking to resemble an object that would have been deposited on the ground, among the trees. The design of the house is developed based on 3 main points:

1. 该项目响应了在森林中建造一座孤立的房子的想法,同时也没有忽视对强烈的安全感的需求;房子是一个安全的,由混凝土制成,可以保护和照顾它的居民。

1. The project responds to the idea of an isolated house in the forest, without ever losing sight of the need for a strong sense of security; a house as a safe, made of concrete that defends and takes care of its inhabitants.

其结果是一个房子,其特点是在小木屋–一个浪漫的元素–和堡垒–一个保护性元素–的概念之间的语言交汇,在其混凝土中表达了野蛮主义。混凝土来关闭和保护第一层,而窗户被放置在伸手不见五指的地方,以防止可能的外部入侵。

The result is a house that is characterized by its meeting of language between the idea of the cabin -a romantic element-, and the fortress -a protective element-, expressing brutalism in its concrete. The concrete comes to close and defend the first floor, while the windows are placed out of reach to prevent a possible outside intrusion.

2.结构项目寻求尽可能的紧凑,占地面积尽可能的小,以避免由于地形的陡峭而导致的复杂和昂贵的基础。房屋安装在自然斜坡上,在其西南角的松树间飞翔,而在其对面的东北角则半埋在地下。

2. The structural project seeks to be as compact as possible, with the footprint as small as possible, in order to avoid a complex and costly foundation due to the steep slope of the terrain. The house is mounted on the natural slope, flying among the pines on its southwest corner, and semi-buried on its opposite northeast corner.

该项目试图重新创造一个悬浮在自然地形中的小屋的感觉。该结构表达了其地基的完美平衡,产生了一种独特的对比,一边是小木屋的轻盈感,另一边是混凝土堡垒的重量。

The project seeks to recreate the feeling of a cabin suspended in the natural topography of its terrain. The structure expresses a perfect balance of its foundation, generating a singular contrast between the feeling of lightness of a cabin on one side, balanced by the weight of a concrete fortress on the other.

3.房子增加了它的高度,以寻求树木之间的光线,同时与地面上那些雄伟的松树的顶部建立了联系。按照9.5米X9.5米的紧凑占地面积的逻辑,项目的目的是垂直生长,而不是水平生长。垂直生长使房子能够在树丛中寻找光线,补充了房子在地块东北部的位置,这部分是最高和最有阳光的。

3.The house increases its height to seek the light among the trees, and at the same time a relationship with the top of those majestic pines present on the ground. Following the logic of its compact footprint of 9.5mts X 9.5mts, the purpose of the project has been to grow vertically, instead of horizontally. The vertical growth allows the house to seek the light among the trees, complementing the very location of the house in the northeastern part of the lot, this part being the highest and sunniest.

房子的配置是围绕着双层高度的半层开发的,屋顶上有高窗和天窗。双层高度的高体量使光线分布在所有的内部空间,并弥补了一楼窗户的损失,保护我们免受任何入侵。

The configuration of the house is developed in semi-levels around a double height, with high windows and skylights on the roof. The high volume of its double height allows to distribute the light in all interior spaces, and compensate for the loss of windows on the first floor that protects us from any intrusion.
