这座房子由两个独立的结构组成，通过一条小路和一个位于森林空地的大花园连接起来。这本来是一栋较大的房子，却被开发成分散在陡峭的斜坡上的体量，每个体量都以独特的方式与这个美丽的场地的地形特征相联系。每个结构都明显不同，但它们都共享混凝土模板和定制的不锈钢细节。

A house composed of two separate structures linked by a path and a large garden in a forest clearing. What could have been a single larger house, was developed as dispersed volumes positioned in the steep slope, each one situated in a unique way in relation to the topographic features of the beautiful site. Each structure is clearly different, yet they all share concrete formwork and custom made stainless steel details.

原本这个地方是一片用来养牛的森林空地，这就提供了通过设计连接两个结构的花园来重新配置景观的机会。山坡上的花园种植了一些乍一看似乎来自更高气候区的物种。野生兰花、凤仙花和其他小型植物被选中，因为它们与高海拔的高山植物相似。在一个确实寒冷和多山的气候中，这个花园呈现出不同版本的热带地区，强化了高海拔安第斯山脉花园的体验。一座房子矗立在四米高的单柱上，而部分下沉的长房子则由一堵长长的保留墙界定。两个结构的不锈钢细节、窗户和模板都是共用的，都由建筑师设计。这两座房子的体验不同，结构方案创造了两种不同的气候和与斜坡的关系，一座更接近地面，另一座则升高，更开放。花园连接着两座房子，室外的细节和材料在室内使用，这是使房子感觉更大的实验的一部分，因为其中一座只有60平方米，另一座有75平方米。

Originally the site was a forest clearing used for cattle, presenting the opportunity to reconfigure the landscape by designing gardens that link both structures. The gardens in the slope are planted with species that on a first glimpse seem to be from a much higher climatic zone. Wild orchids, bromelias and other small plants were selected for their similarity to high altitude alpine plants. In a climate that is indeed cold and mountainous, this garden presents a different version of the tropics, intensifying the experience of a garden in the high altitude Andes. One house stands four meters over the terrain on a single column, while the long partially sunken house is defined by a long retention wall. The stainless steel details, windows and formwork are shared between both structures, all designed by the architects. The experience of the houses differ in the way that the structural solutions create two different climates and relationships with the slope, one closer to the ground, and the other elevated and more open. The gardens link both houses, and the same details and materials in outdoor areas are used indoors, which is part of the experiment in making the houses feel larger , as one of them is just 60 square meters and the other 75.

这两个结构表现为一个单一的房子；因此，它们不是一个最小化生活的练习，而是一个关于如何通过依靠花园作为可以补充室内的空间来满足更大空间需求的实验。两个结构通过采用相反的方式与斜坡和精心设计的花园相联系，提供了完全不同的氛围。

The two structures behave a s single house; therefore, they are not an exercise in minimal living, but rather an experiment on how to satisfy the needs of a larger space by relying on the gardens as spaces that can complement the interiors. Both structures offer completely different atmospheres by employing opposite ways to relate to the slope and the carefully designed gardens.
