这是一个小型建筑,其方案同样简单:巴西圣保罗州北海岸的一个岛屿上的看守人的房子。在海拔100米的地方,在两块巨大的岩石旁边,已经有了旧的看守所,一层的房子,石头墙和粘土屋顶的瓦。

It is a small construction with an equally simple program:A caretaker’s house of a property on an island on the North coast of the State of São Paulo, Brazil. The site, at 100 meters above sea level, next to two enormous rocks, already had the old caretaker’s house, one-story house with stone walls and clay roof tiles.

新建筑有两层,是一个白色的悬空盒子,卧室就在那里,可以看到大陆和圣塞巴斯蒂昂海峡。在它下面,在街道上,是客厅、厨房和浴室。

The new building has 2 floors, a white suspended box, where the bedroom is and it is possible to see the continent and the São Sebastião Channel. Under it, at street level, are the living room, kitchen and bathroom.

一些门窗、楼梯、架子和家具上使用的木材是用于制作脚手架和白盒子钢筋混凝土结构的模具的剩余材料。3.00米×5.00米的白盒子一边由现有的挡土墙支撑,另一边由用石头砌成的墙支撑,这是当地建筑的特点。

The wood used on some doors and windows, staircase, shelves and furniture are leftovers of material used to make scaffoldings and molds for the white box reinforced concrete structure.The 3.00 m x 5.00 m white box is supported on one side by an existing retaining wall and on the other by a wall built with stones, a characteristic of local constructions.

这种运动塑造了建筑的其他三个空间,通道院子,在盒子和挡土墙之间,挡土墙沿着停车场坡道的地面弯曲,院子,在盒子和岩石之间,以及盒子下面的空隙,客厅就在那里。

This movement shapes the other 3 spaces of the construction, the access yard, between the box and the retaining wall that curves following the parking lot ramp’s floor, the courtyard, between the box and the rock and the void created under the box, where the living room is.The impact caused by the image of concise volume, in comparison with the large rock’s amorphous exuberance, gives it a strange sensation.

在工作中,看守人Zé Maria仍然不满足于他未来的生活区,他把它比作一罐沙丁鱼,一个他看到的通过渠道的容器,甚至是一个冷却器,像那些海滩上的人用来携带啤酒。

During the work, the caretaker Zé Maria, still not content with his future living quarters, compared it with a can of sardines, a container as those he sees passing through the channel or even a cooler, like those used by beachgoers to carry beer.
