灰色房子是将坎塔布里亚Pas山谷地区的一个废弃的牧羊人小屋改造成一个年轻家庭的房子。在原来的建筑中，底层是由10头奶牛组成的团队，而上层则是牧羊人的最低限度的居住设施和一个储存干草的大空间。
Grey House is the renovation of an abandoned shepherd’s hut in the Pas Valley area of Cantabria into a house for a young family. In the original building, the ground floor was occupied by a team of ten milk cows, while the upper floor contained minimal dwelling facilities for the shepherd and a large space for the storage of hay.
由于对原始建筑的严格保护（山谷的景观和传统建筑类型都在保护制度之下），很快就发现建筑干预将受到高度限制。然后，该项目成为一个微妙的重新解释，一个小心翼翼但又充满乐趣的过程，对当地住房类型、选址策略和建筑细节进行分解和抽象，从对这些现有条件的误读中创造出不同的东西。
Due to the stringent degree of protection of the original construction (both the valley’s landscape and the traditional building type are under preservation regimes), it soon became apparent that the architectural intervention would be highly restrained. The project then became a subtle reinterpretation, a careful but playful process of disassembling and abstracting local housing typologies, siting strategies, and construction details, of creating something different out of the misreading of those existing conditions.
抑制屋檐，玩弄规模和开口的位置，产生了一个单体的建筑，但又俏皮地拟人化（它被比喻为一个农村的表情符号），一个小的房子，但在它的姿态上是有命令力的。梯田和小挡土墙的几何游戏有助于阐明结构与景观的关系，并为一天中的不同时段创造了几个适合户外生活的区域。
Suppressing the eaves and playing around with the scale and
position of openings yields a building that is monolithic yet playfully anthropomorphic (it has been likened to a rural emoji), a house that is small but commanding in its posture. The geometric play of terraces and small retaining walls help articulate the relationship of the structure to the landscape and create several areas for outdoor life appropriate for the different times of the day.
生活空间的开放性，厨房、公共设施和楼梯都集中在一个紧凑的核心区域。
沿着北侧立面的一个紧凑的核心。在楼上，该计划被迅速地分为三个平等的部分，产生了同样多的朝南卧室。这种布局没有任何浪费，它通过使用坚固的材料和异常大的开口，力求在空间中产生一种宽广的感觉。
Inside, the ground floor plan is designed to maximize the openness
of the living space, with the kitchen, utilities, and stairs consolidated in
a compact core running along the north facade. Upstairs, the plan is swiftly divided into three equal parts, producing as many bedrooms facing south. There is no waste in this layout, which seeks to produce a sense of generosity in the spaces through the use of solid materials and unusually large openings.
无论是内部还是外部，饰面的选择都创造了一种低调的氛围，将传统的建筑调和成更现代的状态，而不影响其精神。灰色涂料和粘土砂浆的使用有助于将石头、木材和混凝土的材料调和成接近单色的东西，从而形成一个含糊不清的保留建筑，随着一天的光线而改变外观。
Both inside and out, the choice of finishes creates a subdued atmosphere, tempering the traditional construction into a more contemporary condition without belying its ethos. The use of grey paint and clay mortars helps blend the material palette of stone, wood, and concrete into something close to monochrome, resulting in an ambiguously reserved building that changes appearance with the light of the day.
