除了证明房子的存在,我们从一开始就把Casa JA想象成一条谨慎而轻微的水平线,突出天空和背景中的山脉,太阳的最新光线在它们之间流淌。我们必须使主立面胆小地隐藏起来,不被那些在圣塔芭芭拉峡谷的街道上穿梭的人看到。我们希望房子是如此亲密和安静,只暗示它的存在,避免任何推测、夸张的展示或它所在的地方的典型浮夸。

Aside from vindicating the very presence of the house, we imagined Casa JA from the beginning as a discreet and slight horizontal line that highlights the sky and the mountains in the background with the latest rays of the sun draining between them. We had to keep the main façade timidly hidden from the eyes of those circulating the streets of the San-ta Barbara glen. We wanted the house to be so intimate and silent that only suggested its presence, avoiding any presumption, exaggerated exhibition or the typical ostentation of the place where it is located.

它的黑色石头内饰假装强调封面,并突出那条水平线,太阳、天空和山脉将在上面休息。在整个设计过程中,从它的位置感受到的神奇的日落对我们来说是很重要的事情。这些空间希望受到这种光线的影响,这种光线什么都不做,却能产生一种特殊的魅力。

Its black stone interiors pretend to emphasize the cover and highlight that horizontal line on which the sun, the sky, and the mountains would rest. The magic sunsets perceived from its location was something important for us throughout the design process. The spaces wished to be influenced by the beauty of such light that does nothing but produces a particular enchantment.

房子被分为三个区块,放置在不同的楼层,由宽大的有顶和无顶的楼梯连接,构成了一个连续和流动的空间。花园、天井和广场组织了项目的其余部分,提供了某种内省、驯化和沉默的性质,并使空间充满了这种亲密感和回忆,让我们有点想起米却肯州一些城镇的前西班牙和殖民时期的建筑。

The house is divided into three blocks placed on different levels connected by wide covered and uncovered stairs that make up a continuous and fluid space. The gardens, patios, and squares organize the rest of the program, provide a certain introspective, domesticated and silent nature and fill the spaces with such intimacy and recollection that reminds us a bit of the prehispanic and colonial architecture of some towns in Michoacan.
