位于洛斯卡沃斯沙漠海岸的Casa Escondida是一个多重性的项目。在气候、程序和邻里法规所强加的复杂和竞争的需求之间进行调解，该设计叠加了伪装和双重性的策略，以构建一个房子中的房子的概念。
Located off the desert coast of Los Cabos, Casa Escondida is a project of multiplicities. Mediating between complex and competing demands imposed by climate, program, and neighborhood regulations, the design overlays strategies of disguise and duality to construct the concept of a house within a house.
谨慎的外观显示了一个合规的结构，符合社区准则规定的必要的屋顶类型、有限的开孔和石头包层，而内部则展开了形式和材料的建筑自由。从房子的概念体量中雕刻出来的空隙组成了第二个受保护的外部空间；一个由天窗覆盖的庭院，天窗以不同的角度倾斜和变细，产生日光和自然通风的变化。
The discreet exterior displays a compliant structure, conforming to the requisite roof type, limited apertures, and stone cladding stipulated by community guidelines, while inside, architectural freedoms of form and materiality unfold. Carved out of the house’s conceptual massing, a composition of voids creates a second, protected exterior space; a courtyard covered by skylights that tilt and taper at different angles to produce variations in daylighting and natural ventilation.
起居室和睡眠室环绕着两层楼的院子，交织在一起，并通过中央的空隙将房子的内部与回廊的空间和阴凉处连接起来。
Living and sleeping rooms encircle the courtyard across two floors, weaving together and through the central void to connect the house’s interiors with the space and shade of the cloistered breezeway.
在坎特拉石的外衣下，房子的结构和内部是由板状混凝土组成的，创造了一个厚厚的热质量外壳，以防止热带风暴的影响，并有助于隔离外部温度。混合形状和大小的开口在室内空间和室外之间创造了视觉和热能的联系。
Beneath the exterior’s cloak of Cantera stone, the house’s structure and interior are composed of board-formed concrete, creating a thick shell of thermal mass that protects against tropical storm winds and helps isolate exterior temperatures. Openings of mixed shapes and sizes create visual and thermal connections between interior spaces and the outdoors.
