一个修复项目总是代表着对过去经验的记忆和当代生活的冲动之间的冲突。现有的体量有一个独特的配置–形状僵硬,建筑粗糙,类似于典型的米尼奥的房子。这是一个与它所在的地点密切相关的建筑,一种不复杂但迷人的农村 “广场”。

A rehabilitation project always represents the conflict between the memory of past experiences and the urges of contemporary living. The existing volume has a singular configuration – rigid in shape and rudely built, similar to the typical Minho house. It’s a building that intimately relates to the site where it is located, a kind of unsophisticated but charming rural “plaza”.

在这种情况下,我们提出了一个新的和现代的体积,目的是引起观察者的矛盾感受。它探索了现有的和拟议的形式之间的平衡和张力。它的颜色、物质化、形状和位置,造成了 “新旧 “之间有目的的区别。

In this context, we propose a new and contemporary volume, with the intention to cause contradicting feelings to the observer. It explores the balance and tension between the existing and the proposed form. Its colour, materialization, shape and position, cause a purposeful distinction between the “old and the new”.

这个项目的目的是为了一个单户住宅。该项目分两层开发–社会空间在下层,两间卧室和一间浴室在上层。

The purpose of this project is to a single-family house. The program is developed in two levels – social spaces on the lower floor, two bedrooms, and a bathroom on the upper floor.

在下层,厨房、餐厅和客厅从北到南依次组织。充足的空间由一个中央封闭的储藏室(保护厨房的工作区)和通往上层的楼梯组织。这些楼梯以其流畅的曲线设计呈现为一个装饰性元素。它是一个混凝土和木材的雕塑作品,将餐厅和生活空间分开。上层被划分为两间卧室和一间浴室。一个在北立面,另一个在南立面,两个房间都是对称的,具有相同的尺寸,尊重了平面的持续对称性。

On the lower floor, the kitchen, dining, and living room are organized from north to south in sequence. The ample space is organized both by a central enclosed storage volume (protecting the kitchen’s work area) and by the stairs that access the upper floor. These stairs present themselves as an ornamental element, with their fluid and curvilinear design. It is a sculptural piece in concrete and wood that separates the dining from the living space. The upper floor is divided into two bedrooms and a bathroom. One on the north elevation and the other on the south, both rooms are symmetrical, with the same dimensions, respecting the constant symmetry of the plan.

所有这些空间:卧室、浴室和储藏室都是封闭和独立的。出于这个原因和简化内部的意图,我们用天然的木质包层(”sapelly”)覆盖墙壁和门,以创造更统一和抽象的表面。即使是门的框架和把手在这种包层中也是不引人注目的。

All of these spaces: bedrooms, bathroom, and storage are closed and independent. For this reason and with the intention of simplifying the interior, we cover with natural wood cladding (“sapelly”) both walls and doors in order to create more uniform and abstract surfaces. Even the frame and handles of doors are unnoticeable in this cladding.

在没有对原始占地面积进行任何扩展的情况下,该项目在剩余的边界内进行组织,假设室内和室外之间的现有关系。生活空间通过一个宽大的玻璃表面流向室外,这个玻璃表面由另一个水平的混凝土元素授予,同时控制阳光的强度。为了设计和组织任何连贯的项目,了解任何场地的特征是很重要的。

Without any expansion to the original footprint, the program is organized within the remaining boundaries, assuming the existing relationship between interior and exterior. The living space flows outside through a wide glass surface granted by another horizontal concrete element that simultaneously controls the intensity of sunlight. It is important to understand the character of any site in order to design and organize any coherent project.
