Mael房子的特点是作为一个永久使用的房子。它从一个简单的体量开始,在适应现有地形的基础上,不与环境产生冲突。主要的想法是基于重塑一对夫妇的生活方式,他们试图从根本上改变他们的生活方式,融合舒适、工作和自然。

Mael House is characterized by being a permanent use house. It starts with a simple volume that lays on the scenery adapting to the existing topography without generating conflict with the environment. The main idea is based on reinventing the lifestyle of a couple that were trying to radically change their way of living, merging comfort, work and nature.

这一举措是为了从城市搬到农村,改变他们的日常生活方式,将他们在家里的日常生活与他们的工作活动相结合。它从农村环境中的一个简单体量开始,之后用户逐渐占据户外空间,按照他们的喜好和舒适度塑造自己的空间。

The initiative was to move from the city to the countryside, to change their way of living their everyday life, merging their daily life at home with their work activity. It starts with a simple volume in a rural environment and after that the users are progressively occupying the outdoor space, molding their own space to their liking and comfort.

下一步是将这第一个模块进行分区,以适应家庭的程序性需求,有两个区块,包含主要的通过空间,总是框住主要的观点。这种形式衔接了空间,使其始终与室外空间保持联系,使其成为房屋的一部分,并产生一个流动的空间,使用户能够轻松地、毫无障碍地通过它。

The next move is to partition this first module to suit the programmatic needs of a home with two blocks that contain the main through space, always framing the main views. The formality articulates the space to always be in contact with the outdoor space, making this part of the house, and generating a fluid space giving the user the initiative to get through it easily, without obstruction.

适应现有的地形,与环境的不同特点的斜坡,房子继续较高的水平,使这个体积看起来像一个凝视者,解释景观的水平性,所以你永远不会失去它的目光。然后,一个长廊被连接起来,将房子无限地延伸,并将室内和室外深深地连接起来,乡村永远是房子的一部分。

Adapting to the existing topography, with variable characteristic slopes of the environment, the house continues the higher level making this volume look like a gazer that interpret the horizontality of the landscape so you never lose sight of it. Then a gallery is attached to extend the house infinitely and deeply connecting the interior with the exterior, the countryside is always part of the house.

因此,主要的问题是,我们如何使建筑元素适应一个巨大而特殊的景观?始终保持对环境的关注,我们延续了这个有低矮山脉的框架环境的主要线条,并将其诠释到房子中。一个简单的水平块,可以很容易地穿越,成为这个地方的一部分,没有任何冲突。在任何时候,天空和大地都从内部被框住了,突出了山脉的主要特征,充满了岩石,从四面八方都有令人难以置信的景色。这座房子是由外而内设计的。

So the main question was, how can we adapt an architectural element to an immense and particular landscape? Always keeping an eye on the context, we continued the main lines of this framed environment with low mountains, and interpret this into the house. A simple horizontal block that can be easily traversed, becoming part of the place without any conflict. At all times a potion of sky and one of earth are framed from the inside, accentuating the main features of Mountain range, full of rocks and with incredible views from all sides. The house is designed from the outside in.
