CUBO房子是在基多Cumbayá山谷的一个安静的住宅区里对现有的房子进行扩建。客户需要在原有的房子上进行扩建,以包括一间卧室、其服务和一个小的社交区。我们的想法是,这将是原有建筑的一个独立元素,而不是房子的延伸。

CUBO house is an addition to an existing house in a quiet residential area in the valley of Cumbayá in Quito. The client required an extension to the original house to include one bedroom, its services, and a small social area. The idea was always that this would be a separate element of the original building and not an extension of the house.

类型以及方案的简单性都使我们认为该项目是一个简单的、反映其类型的棱形物体。从本质上讲,它是要创造一个中性元素,不一定要与现有房屋的设计对话,但也不一定要与它竞争。

Both the type as well as the simplicity of the program led us to think of the project as a simple and prismatic object that reflects its typology. In essence, it is to create a neutral element that does not necessarily have to dialogue with the design of the existing house but neither to compete with it.

这种简单的形式也与小房子的基本方案相一致。

This simplicity of form is also coherent with a basic program for a small house.

因此,这个问题的建筑解决方案是一个具有精确尺寸(X、Y、Z)的立方体,以及一个几乎是单体的抽象概念。这种抽象也被转化为项目的建设,通过构成整个装配的四种材料反映其简单性。金属、混凝土、木材和玻璃。

Thus, the architectural solution to the problem is a cube of exact dimensions (x, y, z), and an almost monolithic abstraction. This abstraction is also translated into the construction of the project reflecting its simplicity through four materials that make up the entire assembly: Metal, concrete, wood and glass.

立方体由四面的金属 “骨架 “组成,顶部和底部是混凝土,在空间外部和内部都可以感受到。骨架或金属结构在屋内表现为所有的元素都暴露在外面,由于所有的垂直表面都是灰色的混凝土,所有的水平表面包括天花板和地板都是由木材制成。

The Cube is composed of a metal “skeleton” clad on four sides, with a concrete top and bottom that can be felt both outside and inside the space. The skeleton or metal structure is expressed inside the house with all the elements exposed, and as all the vertical surfaces are gray concrete, all horizontal surfaces both in ceilings and floors are made of wood.

最后,该方案所要求的隐私性使立方体成为一个几乎固体和不渗透的元素。开口、窗户和门都是根据立方体的合理性来调节和配比的。

Finally, the privacy required by the program makes cube an almost solid and impermeable element. The openings, windows and doors are modulated and proportioned according to the rationality of the cube.
