生活方式是统一的,也是无限多样的。每个家庭和每个人都是独特的、不可重复的宇宙,与地球上的每个家庭和个人都完全一样。

Ways of life are as uniform as they are infinitely diverse. Each family and each person are unique and unrepeatable universes, exactly the same as absolutely every family and person on the planet.

委托本身,一个房子的程序,原来是一个练习,让我们认识、控制和驯服设计房子的人的自我。这是一个机会,让我们明白,这不是关于建筑师和围绕作品的可能性,而是,首先,关于将要居住在里面的人。

The commission itself, the program of a house, turns out to be an exercise that allows us to recognize, control and tame the ego of the person who designs it. An opportunity to understand that it is not about the architect and the possibilities that surround the work, but, above all, about the people who are going to inhabit it.

– 你还记得我总是告诉你,有一天你会建造我的房子吗?嗯,看来这一天已经到来了……”
一对年轻的朋友,受到宇宙祝福的人,他们的生活指南是享受、工作、真诚、快乐和与亲人分享。一个和平、休息和庆祝的地方。对一种生活方式的回答。

– “Do you remember that I always told you that one day you were going to build my house? Well, it seems that day has come…”
A young couple of friends, people blessed by the universe, whose life guides are enjoyment, work, sincerity, happiness and sharing with loved ones. A place for peace, rest and celebration. An answer to a way of life.

一所房子,一件物品,不浮夸,但与相应的生活和愿望相一致。

A house, an object, not ostentatious, but consistent with the corresponding lives and aspirations.

最后,但非常强调的是。
– “我们希望建筑师为这所房子感到自豪,按照他们认为这所房子应该做的那样去做,遵循他们的工作流程”。

And finally, but with great emphasis:
– “We want the architects to feel proud of this house, to do it as they believe this house should be done, following the flow of their work”.

这是一个非常大的矛盾,当一个人确信这与自己无关,但同时,他又面临着自由流动和提出做事方法的巨大可能性。这是一个巨大的挑战,一个巨大的承诺。

It is a very big contradiction when one is convinced that it is not about oneself but at the same time, one is confronted by an enormous possibility of flowing freely and of proposing ways of doing things. It is a great challenge, a great commitment.

在亚松森市的一个过渡区,在一块12×30米的典型土地上,有一座介于边界之间的房子。

A house between boundaries in a transition zone in the city of Asunción, on a typical lot of 12×30 meters.

该建筑在材料和使用方法上采用了传统和常见的建筑方式。钢筋混凝土和砖被用作起点,并在此基础上加入未来居民的愿望。材料本身并没有错,它们的存在是为了被使用。

A construction that uses the traditional and common ways of building, in terms of materials and the ways of using them. Reinforced concrete and brick are used as starting points, adding from there what the future inhabitants desire. Materials are not wrong in themselves, they exist to be used.

这个房子意味着探索什么是足够的极限,理解这并不意味着豪华是无效的,而是由于有效地管理可用的资源,豪华是可能的。

This house meant exploring the limits of what is sufficient, understanding that this does not mean that luxury is not valid, but rather that luxury is possible thanks to efficient management of available resources.
