建筑物把它的存在引向街道。它适应这个地方,它寻找一种自然的秩序,好像它属于这个地方。它避免突出,寻求沉默。

The architectural object directs its presence towards the street. It accommodates itself to the place, it looks for a natural order, as if it belonged to it. It avoids standing out and seeks silence.

建筑应该是一个旅程。为了发现它,人们必须穿越它。在这个轨迹中,房子被揭示出来。用户变得有兴趣去了解它,没有什么是明显的。

Architecture is supposed to be a journey. To discover it, one has to traverse it. During this trajectory, the house is revealed. The user becomes interested in getting to know it, nothing is evident.

在上升了大约10米后,房子的底层位于地形的中心。混凝土墙包含了地面上的部分,释放和开放了特定的空间,成为内部庭院和花园。这些,除了丰富了循环和日常空间,还产生了全天的通风和照明。

After an ascent of approximately 10 m, the ground floor of the house sits in the center of the terrain. The concrete walls contain the section in the ground, freeing and opening specific spaces that become internal courtyards and gardens. These, in addition to enriching circulations and everyday spaces, generate ventilation and lighting throughout the day.

在上层,房子与地块的较高部分相平,在卧室区和地块的后端之间产生了联系和功能。体积由横梁和砖块组成,与山脉相呼应。这种形态产生了一种与屋顶的游戏,使空间层次化、有序化和明确化。在倾斜平面的衔接中,产生了开口,捕捉和提供自然照明给走廊的柔和晨光。

On the upper floor, the house is levelled with a higher part of the lot, generating a connection and functionality between the bedroom area and the rear end of the lot. The volume is arranged with beams and materialized with bricks, sculpted to relate to the mountain range. This achieved morphology generates a play with the roofs that hierarchizes, orders and defines the spaces. In the articulation of the inclined planes, openings are generated, capturing and providing natural lighting to the corridor with the soft morning light.

西面的立面被封闭在强烈的午后阳光下。通过小的穿孔,产生了一个格子,太阳光穿过格子,产生了过滤的照明,沐浴在室内,实现了时间和空间的参考。

The western façade is closed to the intense afternoon sun. By means of small perforations, a lattice is generated through which the sun’s rays pass through and filtered lighting is generated, bathing the interior and achieving a reference of time and space.
