diagonal之家是位于希腊基克拉迪岛凯亚的一个隐蔽的自然区域内的独家屋。周围景观强烈的地形变化同时也代表了建筑理念的来源和指导思想。

The diagonal house is a summer house situated within a secluded natural area of the Greek Cycladic Island of Kea. The strong topographical changes of the surrounding landscape represent at the same time the conceptual source and guideline for the architectural idea.

这座房子–与地形的坡度对角放置–被组织成一个细分的广场，有交替的封闭和开放空间。窗户和结构元素为周围的景观、爱琴海和邻近的岛屿创造了电影般的框架。由于陡峭的地形，房子的背面被淹没在景观中，而它的正面则朝向主要景观。因此，房子可以避免恶劣的气候条件，如高温和强风。房屋的所有支持功能，如浴室和厨房，都被放置在背面，使房屋内和景观的移动和视野不受阻碍。

The house – placed diagonal to the slope of the topography – is organized as a subdivided square with alternating enclosed and open spaces. Windows and structural elements create cinematic frames of the surrounding landscape, the Aegean Sea, and neighboring islands. Due to the steep topography, the backside of the house is submerged within the landscape, while its front is oriented towards the main view. The house is thus protected from harsh climatic conditions, such as high temperatures and strong winds. All support functions of the house, such as bathrooms and the kitchen, are placed towards the backside allowing for unobstructed movement and views within the house and towards the landscape.

使用裸露的混凝土作为结构和视觉框架，是对传统石屋的现代诠释。这种对传统建筑技术的重新诠释也与主动和被动的供暖、制冷和能源生产技术的整合有关。这样的技术从而实现了高度的能源效率和独立性。小窗户与大的开口相对，这些大的开口带有可操作的百叶窗，在院子和房间的交替中。
The use of exposed concrete as a structural and visual frame is intended as a contemporary interpretation of a traditional stone house. This reinterpretation of traditional building techniques is also related to the integration of active and passive techniques for heating, cooling, and energy generation. Such techniques thereby allow for a high degree of energy efficiency and independence. Small windows oppose large openings with operable shutters that are in the alternating courtyards and rooms.

这种并列关系允许从盛行的风中引导交叉通风，通过封闭和开放的空间。因此，房屋全年保持凉爽，在较冷时期保持温暖。房子的屋顶被用来收集雨水，并将其作为过滤后的水在房子里重新使用。太阳能电池板旨在隐藏在景观中，以产生足够的能量，以保持房子在电网之外运行。

This juxtaposition allows for the channeling of cross ventilation from the prevailing winds through the enclosed and open spaces. Thereby, keeping the house cool throughout the year and warm during the colder periods. The roof of the house is used to collect rainwater in submerged tanks that are re-used in the house as filtered water. Solar panels were intended to be hidden in the landscape to produce sufficient energy in order to keep the house running off the grid.

对角线房屋是建筑三部曲的一部分，由平行、对角线和垂直的房屋组成。这个三部曲的基础是研究夏季住宅如何以最小的必要空间，以一种简单而又迷人的方式与周围环境相联系。因此，这项研究代表了三种最小的房屋的迭代，每一种都与它们的特定地形和景观有着最理想但又不同的关系。

The diagonal house Is part of an architectural trilogy, consisting of parallel, diagonal and perpendicular houses. This trilogy is based on a study on how summer residences with the minimum necessary spaces, can relate to their immediate context in a simple and yet captivating way. The study thus represents an iteration of three minimal houses that each have a most optimal and yet different relationship to their specific topography and landscape.

到目前为止，对角线房屋和平行房屋已经成功完成，而垂直房屋目前正在准备施工。与其他房屋的设计类似，对角线房屋的构思和建造是为了与周围的景观形成强烈而又最小的对比。通过这种对比和隐藏原则的嵌入，重点放在景观本身的最大体验上。

Up until now, the diagonal-house and parallel-house have been successfully completed, while the perpendicular-house is currently preparing for construction. Similar to the design of the other houses, the diagonal house was conceived and constructed as a strong and yet minimal contrast to its surrounding landscape. Through this contrast and the embedding of hidden principles, the focus is laid upon the maximum experience of the landscape itself.
