阳台、起居室、浴室、厨房和卧室是客户对其周末住所的期望，通过将房子的主平台抬高2.5米，我们可以创造一个有盖的底层，允许所有类型的使用，并在松树的底座之间延伸出阴影。从远处看，房子有一个奇特的方面，一个用日本雪松砖做成的悬空矩形体，其顶部有一个由金属板屋顶做成的 “皇冠”，上面有一个软木梯形体。沿着楼梯往上走，有一个悬空的阳台，可以看到松树的美丽景色，那里还有软木板墙的房子的主入口。通过游客走上这些台阶的同一路径，还有一个金属板坡，为他指明了出路。
Balcony, Livingroom, Bathroom kitchen and Bedroom was what the client expected for her weekend shelter, by elevating the house´s main platform by 2.5m height we made it possible to create a covered ground floor that allows all types of use and extends the shadow in between the pine´s bases. From distance, the house has a peculiar aspect, a suspended rectangular volume made with Japanese Cedar bricks with a “crown” on its top made out of a metal sheet roof with a cork trapezoidal volume on top. Going up a set of stairs there is a suspended balcony with a beautiful view of the Pine Trees where stands also the main entrance of the house in a cork plate wall. Through the same path that the visitor walks up these steps, there is also a metal sheet slope that shows him his way out.
一旦进入房子，第一印象是房子的薄板条百叶窗导致自然光不足，这个选择是为了防止阿连特茹地区普遍存在的极热的夏天和寒冷的冬天。除了阳台，在这个计划中，我们设计了我们认为最基本的生活结构：浴室，一个小客厅，厨房和用于整理的衣柜。还有一些日本雪松梯子，一直通向天窗，天窗实际上是一个高架卧室。
Once inside the house the first impression is a lack of natural light resulting from the house´s thin slat shutters, this choice was made to prevent the extremely hot summers and cold winters that prevail in the Alentejo region. Besides the balcony, in this plan we designed what we believe to be the minimum living structure: bathroom, a small living room, kitchen and wardrobes for tidying up. There are also some Japanese Cedar ladders that lead all the way up through a skylight that is actually an elevated bedroom.
卧室呈梯形，从里面看让人联想到一个蚕茧，从外面看是一个皇冠。这里有一个大的天窗，它实际上是向树顶看的，揭示了它的规模，同时也作为一盏灯，在晚上照亮了树顶。除了这个房间带来的茧的感觉，一个侧门可以让游客到屋外的屋顶上，看到阿连特茹的美丽风景，并与百年松树进行对话。
The bedroom has a trapezoidal shape that reminds a cocoon from the inside and a crown from the outside. There is a big skylight which actually looks to the tree´s top revealing its magnitude, and also works as a lamp that lightens up the tree´s top at night. Beside the cocoon feeling that this room brings up, a side door allows its visitor to get outside in the house´s roof to be presented to a beautiful sight scene of the Alentejo landscape and create a dialogue with the centenary Pine Trees.
哥伦布树屋的设计几乎完全是木制的，当它面对它的百年邻居时，会让我们想起这一切的来源。这座房子使用了各种不同的木材，日本雪松、桦木、Thermowood、软木、不同类型的松树，这种多样性试图将游客与自然联系起来，证明它的美不仅体现在外部，也体现在内部。
Columba Tree House was designed to be almost entirely wood made in a way that when it faces its centenary neighbours it makes us remember where it all came from. A varied collection of woods is used in this house, Japanese Cedar, Birchwood, Thermowood, cork, different types of pine, this variety tries to connect the visitor to nature and evidence its beauty not only in the outside but also in the inside.
