白玉兰之家是对普通住房飞地的另一种回应。它试图从一个家庭居住的一系列空间的角度来理解它，而不是从一个建筑元素的角度。植入一个充满自然和远离城市环境的郊区环境中，它是一个象征性的体积构成，代表着房子的每个空间都是一个部分，有其自身的特点，与环境和整体相关。
Casa Magnolia is an alternative response to the common housing enclave. It seeks to understand it from the perspective of a series of spaces that are inhabited by a family, rather than from the perspective of an architectural element. Implanted in a suburban context full of nature and away from the urban environment, it’s a symbolic volumetric composition that represents each space of the house as a part, with its own specific characteristics, that relates to the environment and to the whole.
在单层设计的350平方米的表面积，建议将该方案划分为五个体量，给每个房间所包含的特定活动以绝对的独立性。不同的异质体量与景观交织在一起，产生了扩展和透明性，将环境中的绿色植物变成内部空间的一部分。
A surface area of 350m2 designed on a single floor, proposes to partition the program into five volumes, giving absolute independence to the particular activities that each room encompasses. The different heterogeneous volumes are interwoven with the landscape, generating expansions and transparencies that turn the greenery of the context into part of the interior spaces.
连接主要区域的衔接空间是一个过渡，使用户感觉他们在花园中自由行走，同时实际上是在室内导航。每个房间的位置与阳光的关系，响应了它们被设计的活动。私人和服务空间与早晨的阳光相吻合，以便在一天开始时享受第一时间的阳光，而社交和家庭房间则享受下午的阳光，与每个人结束活动回家的时刻相吻合。
The articulating spaces that connect the main areas are a transition that makes the user feel like they are walking freely in the garden, while actually navigating the interior. The location of each room in relation to the sunlight responds to the activity for which they were designed. Private and service spaces are aligned with the morning sun in order to enjoy the first hours of light at the beginning of the day, while social and family rooms enjoy the afternoon sun, coinciding with the moment when everyone has returned home from their activities.
建筑物体和景观之间的凹陷空间是视觉上的修饰，在整个房子里产生了透明性，加强了实现可居住的雕塑性质的物体的想法，这些物体不受其环境的影响。
The concave spaces between the architectural object and the landscape are visual finishes that generate transparencies throughout the house, reinforcing the idea of achieving habitable objects of sculptural nature that are exempt from their environment.
每个房间都容纳一个特定的活动，响应不同的要求，如隐私程度、房间容量、阳光、通风、以及与外部和邻近空间的互动。这些导致内部空间在高度、宽度和长度以及内部覆盖物的类型上被修改，以实现与每个空间相对应的个性。此外，每个体积都有一个开口。就社会区域而言，它们通过这些开口在视觉上相互连接，而私人空间则在视觉上与外部相通。
Each room accommodates a specific activity that responds to different requirements, such as level of privacy, room capacity, sunlight, ventilation, and interaction with the exterior and adjacent spaces. These results in the internal spaces being modified in height, width, and length as well as in the type of internal coverings, to achieve the personality that corresponds to each one. Additionally, each volume holds an opening. In the case of social areas, they are visually interconnected through these openings, while private spaces have visual access to the outside.
这个项目的材料非常简单。平滑的连续平面，涂成白色，在顶点处有软化的线条，加强了人工物体的概念，与它被植入的场地的原始环境是陌生的。连接空间的半透明桥梁，在水平面上用生锈的钢板装饰，发挥了更多的有机色调，加强了整体的水平性。
The materiality of the project is very simple. Smooth continuous planes, painted white, with softened lines at the vertices, reinforce the idea of an artificial object that is foreign to the original context of the site where it is implanted. The translucent bridges that connect the spaces, decorated with rusted steel sheets on the horizontal planes, play with a more organic palette and reinforce the overall horizontality.
该项目以一种非常抽象的方式提出了一个单家独户的住宅，其中空间的功能、它们的内部关系和郊区的环境被推断出来，以产生一个简单而直接的建筑对象，无论是在组成还是材料方面。它的组织允许日常生活中的事件，无论是同时发生的还是独立的，都可以在不改变总体秩序的情况下进行，这种行为对于今天的家庭来说是非常必要的，因为个人和共同的东西是同等重要的。
The project proposes a single-family home in a very abstract way, in which the functionality of the spaces, their internal relationships, and the suburban context are extrapolated to generate a simple and straightforward architectural object, both in composition and materiality. Its organization allows for daily life events, whether simultaneous or independent, to take place without altering the general order, an act that is so necessary for today’s families, where the individual and the common are of equal importance.
