Casa Iguana可以被合成为三个独立的体量,由一座桥连接。其间产生的空间由三个薄粘土砖制成的格子外墙划定,其排列方式与纸牌塔相同,让人想起该地区一些传统建筑中使用的墙壁和阳台的檐口。

Casa Iguana can be synthesized in three independent volumes connected by a bridge. The space generated in between is delimited by three lattice facades made out of thin clay bricks arranged in the same way in which a tower of cards is raised, evoking the cornices on walls and balconies used in some of the traditional constructions of the region.

在一楼,这个独栋别墅有一个公共和服务项目,在三个卷的范围内组织。另一方面,在一楼,我们发现一个专门的私人项目,在每个卷中分布着一个卧室。

On the ground floor, the single family house has a public and service program organized within the limits of the three volumes. On the first floor, on the other hand, we find an exclusively private program, distributing one bedroom in each volume.

房子被支撑在混凝土踢脚板上,是地基的整体延伸,从地球上浮现出来;就像树的根部,反映了它的结构基础。

The house is supported over a concrete skirting board, a monolithic extension of the foundation that emerges from the earth; like the roots of a tree, reflection of its structural basis.

当光线与格子墙配合使用时,它发挥了重要作用。一个光与影的游戏贯穿整个空间,将时间的流逝具体化。

Light plays an important role when it works in conjunction with the lattice walls. A game of light and shadow runs through the spaces, materializing the passage of time.

自然暴露的材料给了房子内部和外部的颜色和纹理。混凝土元素和裸露的梁/拱形块天花板系统被墙壁和地板上的粘土砖的温暖感觉所平衡;每个体积的外周被白色水泥和chucum树脂的混合物所覆盖。它们都易于维护,并有足够的存在感,随着时间的推移,使工作变得有尊严。

The naturally exposed materials give the house their color and texture inside and outside. The concrete elements and the exposed beam/vault block ceiling system get balanced by the warm feeling of the clay bricks on walls and floors; the external perimeter of each volume is covered with a flattened made by a mixture of white cement and chucum resin. They are all of easy maintenance and enough presence to dignify the work over time.
