Cascada房子建在墨西哥城Pedregal de San Ángel社区一栋50年代的房子上,被邻近花园的白蜡树和槐树树冠所包围。

Built on top of a 1950s house in the Mexico City neighborhood of Pedregal de San Ángel, Cascada House is enclosed by the ash and jacaranda tree canopies of the adjacent gardens.

在形状和材料上与现有建筑形成对比,轻质结构允许自然光进入其所有立面。作为对景观和周围环境的回应,该馆向东西两侧关闭,向南和北侧的立面大幅开放。通过大面积开放的玻璃板,房子与周围的植被融为一体,消解了室内外的界限。

Contrasting in shape and materiality to the existing construction, the lightweight structure allows natural light to enter all its façades. In response to the views and the surrounding context, the pavilion closes towards the east and west sides and opens generously towards the south and north façades. Through large glass panels that open widely, the house integrates with the circumambient vegetation, dissolving the boundary between interior and exterior.

结构本身决定了建筑方案。南边是房子的公共部分,北边是私人部分。在两个屋顶之间的雨槽下,是服务空间(橱柜和厨房)。在外面,大的露台区域可以享受房子周围的自然环境。

The structure itself defines the architectural program. To the south, the public part of the house, to the north, the private. Under the rain gutter between the two roofs, service spaces (cupboards and kitchen). Outside, large terrace areas allow the natural environment surrounding the house to be enjoyed.
