“居住,是指在保障每件事物的性质的自由范围内保持安宁。居住的基本特征就是这种疏导和保护。它弥漫在居住的整个范围内。只要我们反思一下,人是由居住组成的,事实上,居住是指凡人在地球上的停留,这个范围就会向我们显示出来”。- 马丁-海德格尔,《建筑居住思考》(1951)。

“To dwell, to be set at peace means to remain at peace within the free sphere that safeguards each thing in its nature. The fundamental character of dwelling is this sparing and preserving. It pervades dwelling in its whole range. That range reveals itself to us as soon as we reflect that human being consists in dwelling and, indeed, dwelling in the sense of the stay of mortals on the earth.” – Martin Heidegger, Building Dwelling Thinking (1951)

São João da Boa Vista住宅项目诞生于对亲密关系的思考,特别是在每个住宅项目中,以共享土地的背景为指导。这片土地是一个古老农场的遗迹,多年来一直被城市肢解和合并。在离新建筑一箭之遥的地方,矗立着一座老房子,客户的父母仍然居住在那里。

The São João da Boa Vista House project was born from the reflection on the intimate, particular in each residential project, guided by the context of shared land. Remnant of an old farm, the land has been dismembered and incorporated by the city over the years. There, a stone’s throw away from the new construction stands an old house where the client’s parents still reside.

因此,在为家庭核心成员提供隐私的同时,同居也是一个问题。在整个场地上,拐弯的体量和它们的连接臂围绕着一个内部景观展开,即中央庭院,所有的元素都向它转弯和开放。因此,被房屋主体包裹的庭院的植入,像一个子宫(原始栖息地)一样,保护着生命的发展。

Cohabiting, while providing privacy to the family nuclei, was, therefore, an issue. Spread across the site, the inflected volumes and their connecting arms unfold around an internal scape, the central courtyard, toward which all elements turn and open. As such, the implantation of the courtyard enveloped by the body of the house protects, like a womb (original habitat), the development of life.

从外部看,体量的水平性被树干的垂直性所拦截,而在内部空间,它们的树冠被高大的窗户所框住。这些体量是用普通的原材料(刷白的陶瓷块和砖)建造的,并通过混凝土等级梁扎根于地面,这些梁在整个地基中突出,适应不同的水平。另一个组织地形的元素,石墙既是支撑,也是其他两个自由空间(院子)的界限。

Externally, the horizontality of the volumes is intercepted by the verticality of the tree trunks, while in the interior spaces their canopies are framed by high windows. These volumes were built with ordinary raw material (whitewashed ceramic block and brick) and rooted in the ground through concrete grade beams, which protrude throughout the foundation and accommodate the different levels. Another element that organizes the topography, the stone walls work both as support and as delimitations of the other two free spaces (courtyards).

虽然该方案被分割并分布在这五个卷中,但空间的非等级处理提供了视觉上的整合。客厅、厨房、服务区、办公室和卧室在垂直方向(白色油漆)和水平方向(烧焦的水泥和木头)上都得到了基本相同的装饰准则。

Although the program was fragmented and distributed in these five volumes, the non-hierarchical treatment of the spaces provides visual integration. Living rooms, kitchen, service area, office, and bedrooms receive essentially the same finish guidelines, both vertically (white paint) and horizontally (burnt cement and wood).

在倾斜的屋顶上也有一种空间阅读的连续性,显示出木质骨架支撑着石板下面的金属屋瓦。由于气候炎热,屋顶的分层减少了太阳光的入射,增加了房屋的热惯性,就像用45º的砖排成的双层墙遮挡其外表面一样。

There is also a continuity of spatial reading in the sloping roofs that reveal the wooden skeleton supporting the metal roof tiles below the slate. Due to the hot climate, the stratification of the roof reduces the solar incidence and increases the house’s thermal inertia, as do the double walls with rows of bricks at 45º that shade its external faces.

体积的屋顶之间的缝隙让位于穿过空间的混凝土天沟梁。与房屋的坚固性相比,这个12米乘6米的元素似乎漂浮在离地面2.10米的地方。

A gap between the roofs of the volumes gives way to the concrete gutter beam that cuts through the space. In contrast to the solidity that characterizes the house, the 12m by 6m element appears to float 2.10m from the floor.

然而,除了在结构、功能和美学方面的表现,水沟梁是一个象征性的元素,表达和综合了项目的前提。它的突起划定了一条人行道,两端都有两个同样主要的入口和出口:一个是从城市环境通向房子的私密性,另一个是连接新建筑和父母的老房子。

However, in addition to the structural, functional, and aesthetic aspects it performs, the gutter-beam is a symbolic element that expresses and synthesizes the premises of the project. Its projection demarcates a walkway, with both ends punctuated by two equally main entrances and exits: one that leads from the urban environment to the intimacy of the house, and another that connects the new construction to the parents’ old house.
