一对退休的美国夫妇放弃了一切来实现他们在瓦哈卡生活的长期梦想，他们爱上了这个城市，并选择它作为他们的最终目的地。
A retired American couple dropped everything to fulfill their long life dream of living in Oaxaca, a city they fell in love with and chose to be their ultimate destination.
伊丽莎白和雷，通过各种巧合，决定在瓦哈卡州的城市边界追求一块300平方米的土地，在这个名为San Sebastián Tutla的小镇上，他们将在那里建造他们的梦想之屋，这是他们一生都在为之努力的地方，也是他们从第一次访问墨西哥就梦想的地方。他们不仅要适应一种新的文化和一个完全不同的社会，而且要改变他们的整个生活方式。
Elizabeth and Ray, through diversified coincidences, decided to pursuit a 300m2 land at the city limits in Oaxaca, in this small town named San Sebastián Tutla, where they would build their dream house, the one they had worked their entire lives for, and the one they dreamed since their first visits to Mexico. Not only they would adapt to a new culture and an entirely different society, but they would change their whole way of living.
在搬到瓦哈卡之前，他们最后的住所是在美国的新墨西哥州，那里以雄伟的天空和极端的天气而闻名。他们住在一个非常和平的社区。我们的工作室最大的责任是向这对退休夫妇展示如何以他们以前从未做过的方式过这种全新的、不同的生活，接受新的类型、新的材料，并拥抱内部，所有这些都是因为这个区域和邻近的建筑。
Their last residence before moving down to Oaxaca, was in New Mexico, the USA which is known for its majestic skies and extreme weather. They lived in a very peaceful neighborhood. Our workshop had the biggest responsibility on showing this retired couple to learn how to live this wholly new and different life the way they had never done before, accepting new typologies, new materials, and embracing the interior, all these because of the zone and adjacent constructions.
伊丽莎白和雷是外向的社会人，成为社区的一部分，特别是被社区所爱，对他们来说是很容易的事情，他们对周围发生的事情很投入，但最主要的是他们能为当地社区提供什么，他们来贡献。因此，他们的房子被设计成可发展的、可变化的、充满生命力的、团聚的，在这里永远不会缺少朋友和梅斯卡尔。一个城市边缘的绿洲。
Elizabeth and Ray are outgoing social people, being part of a community and especially being loved by it is something easy for them, they are invested in what happens in their surroundings, but mostly in what they can offer to their local community, they come to contribute. And so, their house was designed to be evolutive, changeable, full of life, of reunion, where friends and mezcal won’t ever be missing. An oasis at the city limits.
Nuestro sueño “是一个粘土盒子，包含了基于60厘米模数的连贯的混凝土结构，标记和分配程序，表明房子的核心和灵魂是厨房和中央天井，就像市中心的老殖民时期的Oaxacan房子。折叠式钢制凸窗改变了空间，淡化了内部和外部之间的障碍，使灵活的联合房间得以共存。
‘Nuestro sueño’ is a clay box that contains coherent concrete structures based on a 60cm modulo, marking and distributing the program, indicating that the heart and soul of the house are the kitchens and central patio, just like an old colonial Oaxacan house downtown. Folding steel bay windows transform the space and fade away the barrier between inside and outside, making flexible united rooms for coexistence.
在建造这个住宅时，必须考虑到不同的因素，如有一块菜地，他们的休闲通过缝纫店、木工房、画廊和电影院。这座房子的空间很宽广，适应性强，所以在未来，可以做一些调整。另外，我们有幸通过所有的季节来真正观察这个房子，在施工过程中和完工后，每一个景色都是不同的，中央天井的砖钟和穿过混凝土梁的闪电每次都显示出完全不同的视角。
Different considerations had to be put into thought while building this residence, like having a vegetable patch, their leisure through a sewing shop, a woodshop, a gallery, and a cinema. This house was made with wide and adaptable spaces, so in the future, accommodations can be done. Plus, we had the privilege of truly observing this house through all of the seasons, during the construction process and once it was finished, every view was different, a brick clock in the central patio and the lightning through the concrete beams showed completely different perspectives every time.
在主卧室里，我们的想法是在日出时分醒来，开始在其空间里生活，观察时间的痕迹。它的核心大厅将你引向屋顶，向你展示不可思议的南马德雷山脉。一个突出的事实是，植被和室内设计是居住者的商标，创造了丰富多彩的空间，为来访者提供了享受，因为所有这些都是为他们创造的。
In the Master bedroom, the idea is to wake up to the sunrise and start living in its spaces observing the trace of time. Its core halls lead you to the rooftop, which shows you the incredible Sierra Madre Sur. A distinguished fact is that the vegetation and interior design are habitants’ trademarks, creating colorful spaces planned for the enjoyment of the ones visiting because all of this was created for them.
我们的想法始终是创造一个充满欢迎的生活空间，一个向你展示墨西哥如何拥抱你的地方，一个你终于可以感受到在瓦哈卡的地方。
The idea was always to create a welcoming-life full space, one that will show you how Mexico embraces you, a place where you can finally feel being in Oaxaca.
