这个项目的改造内容包括一块土地（950平方米），它被整合到Barrocal的农业系统和一个小房子的废墟（80平方米）。这个传统的废墟显示了阿尔加维当地建筑的特点。
The transformative substance of this project consists of a parcel of land (950m2), that is integrated into the agricultural system of Barrocal and a small house in ruins (80m2). The ruin of traditional genesis, displays the characteristics of the vernacular architecture of the Algarve.
该战略包括明确财产中心空间的界限–一个由废墟和 “树篱 “以及高地树木围成的空隙。对这一空隙的划分是通过恢复现有的废墟来实现的，它定义了西部的边界，建造了一个新的侧翼，背离了现有的群体，建立了北部边界，并在地块的南端设置了一个水箱。
The strategy consists on clarifying the limits of the central space of property – a void enclosed by the ruin and the “hedges” and the upland trees. The clearing delimited of this emptiness is made with the recuperation of the existing ruin defining the western boundary, with the construction of a new wing set back from the existing group, establishing the northern boundary and the setting of a water tank at the south end of the plot.
原有的房屋由三个相互连接的单元组成，包含了房间和它们的浴室。北翼建在地面上，用两个比例相似的建筑天井来衔接地形，一个是厨房的北部延伸，另一个是客厅的西部延伸。
The pre-existing house consisting of three interconnected cells contains the rooms and their bathrooms. The north wing is built into the ground and articulates the topography with two built patios of similar proportions, one is a northern extension of the kitchen and the other a western extension of the living room.
房屋的主要入口是通过位于原有房屋和新翼之间的空间进行的–这是两翼之间的过渡和断裂空间。水箱的建造类似于这个地区丰富的灌溉水箱。一个纯粹的水容器从地下冒了出来。
The main entrance of the house is made through the space that lies between the pre-existing house and new wing – a space of transition and fracture between the two wings. The water tank is built similarly to the abundant irrigation tanks of this region. A water container of pure form emerges from the ground.
