位于西非佛得角圣维森特岛的明德卢市正在迅速扩张,50%的人口在25岁以下,旅游客流不断增加。

The city of Mindelo on the island of Sao Vicente, Capo Verde, west Africa, is expanding rapidly, with 50% of the population under the age of 25, and with a constantly growing touristic flow.

这块60平方米的地块位于城市中心的商业街。在过去的15年里,这条街道的建筑发生了变化,从传统的多色单层住宅,到4层的小型公寓楼,可以在公共道路上悬空一米。我们怎样才能在现有的旧建筑、新建筑和地块两侧的两座现有建筑之间创造一个和谐的过渡。最重要的是,我们可以通过一个4层的垂直立面,传达出传统建筑中的快乐,并将其与新的方案相结合。

The 60 sqm plot is located in the city’s center commercial street. A street that in the last 15 years has transformed its architecture, from residential, with traditional multi-colored one-storey houses, to small 4-storey apartment buildings, with the possibility of one meter overhang on the public road. How could we create an harmonious transition between the old existing, the new and the two existing buildings on the sides of the plot. Above all, as we could have conveyed through a 4-storey vertical façade, the same joy that was in traditional architecture, combining it with a new program.

在底层120平方米的商业和联合办公用途的两层,该项目试图通过开口在空间和街道之间创造一个直接的对话。6套公寓,每套29平方米,加上60平方米的阁楼,被设计为允许空间以最灵活和适应的形式使用。

On the ground floor 120 sqm for commercial and co-working use on two levels, the project tries to create a direct dialogue between the space and the street through the openings. The apartments, 6 of 29 sqm each, plus the attic 60 sq m, are designed to allow space to be used in the most flexible and adaptable form.

开口的设计是为了创造一个内部的外部关系,过滤和选择有助于平静和内部集中的观点,同时创造一个定位和尺寸的关系,与两个横向建筑的建筑。

The openings are designed to create an internal external relationship, filtering and selecting the views that contribute to calmness and internal concentration, and at the same time creating a relationship for positioning and size with the architecture of the two lateral buildings.

窗户的色泽与传统Cabo Verdian建筑中已经存在的色泽有直接的关系,开口的运动吸收和传递了一种活力,并与街道,尤其是与邻近建筑的立体感进行对话。当地的手工艺和经过认证的松木用于家具,交叉通风,使公寓自然气候化。

The chromatism of the windows has a direct relationship with the chromatic palette already present in traditional Cabo Verdian architecture, and the movement of the openings absorbs and transfers a dynamism and a dialogue with the street and above all with the stereometry of the neighboring buildings. Local handcraftsmanship and certified pine wood for the furniture, crossed ventilation for the natural climatization of the apartments.

内部家具遵循建筑所体现的空间灵活性和可转换性的相同逻辑,在空间和人之间创造出一套和谐而动态的关系。你生活在空间内的感觉是在不断移动的流线中的平静。

The internal furniture follows the same logic of flexibility and transformability of the space that architecture manifests, creating a harmonious and dynamic set of relationships between space and human being. The feeling that you live within the space is calm within a constant moving stream.
