这座房子的位置是一个小型城市结构的一部分，平面呈三角形，被高速公路、Rovira和Virgili街、公墓和高速公路的地下通道嵌入和限定。这是一个具有特殊形态特征的区域，由小块土地组成，其中大部分是在20世纪中期和末期建造的小房子。这些地块通过U形的入口和出口进入，同时与一个内部广场相连。由于地块较小，现有建筑之间的距离较小，并且有低矮的隔离栅栏，该地区的居民在视觉上相互接触，获得一个活泼和活跃的社区。对该地区现有房屋的观察和分析表明，这些房屋大多体积紧凑，占据了地块的很大一部分，导致非建筑空间小而残缺，与建筑内部几乎没有连接和视觉联系。同时，具有最大开口的主要立面与街道对齐，无论其太阳方向如何。

The location of this house is part of a small urban fabric with a triangular floor plan, which is embedded and delimited by the highway, Rovira and Virgili Street, the cemetery and the underpass of the highway. It is an area with particular morphological features, made up of small plots, which most of them were built with small houses between the middle and the end of the 20th century. These are accessed through U-shaped entrance and exit, which at the same time meets an inner square. Since the plots are small, the distance between the existing buildings is small and there are low separating fences, the residents of the area live in visual contact with each other, obtaining a lively and active community. Observation and analysis of the existing houses built in the area indicated that most of these homes are compact in volume and occupy a large portion of the plot, resulting in small and residual non-built spaces with little or no connectivity and visual connection with the interior of buildings. At the same time, the main façades with the largest openings are aligned with the street, regardless of their solar orientation.

为了回应这一分析，该住宅采用了一种独特的策略：主立面不面向街道；它面向花园，面向南方。整个建筑的结构是朝向花园的，但在底层通过房子中央的门廊创造了最大的整合，连接了房子的外部和内部。为了有一个中央阴凉的生活空间，并使地块的宽度没有建筑物，并与非建筑空间直接接触，我们创造了一个建设性的不连续状态。门廊的左右两边是实用的生活程序：一边是带浴室和更衣室的套房，另一边是起居室-厨房-餐厅，它通过一个双层高度与一楼的书房相连。同时，这个空间也与地下室相连，地下室用于设施和储存。室内项目在一楼完成，有两间卧室和一个额外的浴室，室外项目在一楼有一个露台，在有顶层有第二个露台瞭望点，从这里可以看到塔拉戈纳市的各种视觉地标，如老城区、大海和Ermita de la Salut。根据该地区现有建筑的结构，在不改变原有地形的情况下，采用简单的形状和混合结构来设计体量。街道立面有两个高度层，以适应并创造出第一座邻近的底层建筑和第二座四层建筑之间的过渡。非建筑的外部区域应该由建筑边缘的人行道和景观或菜园区域占据。

In response to this analysis, the house adopts a singular strategy: the main façade does not face the street; it looks onto the garden, facing south. The entire building is structured towards the garden, but maximum integration is created on the ground floor by a porch in the center of the house that connects the exterior and interior of the house. A constructive discontinuity is created in order to have a central shady space for living and to have the width of the plot free of buildings and in direct contact with the non-built spaces. To the right and left of the porch there is a practical living program: on one side a suite with bathroom and dressing room and on the other a living-kitchen-dining room, which is connected to the study on the first floor by a double-height. At the same time, this space is also connected to the basement, which is used for facilities and storage. The indoor program is completed on the first floor with two bedrooms and an additional bathroom, and the outdoor program with a terrace on the first floor and a second terrace lookout point on the covered floor from which you can see various visual landmarks of the city of Tarragona such as the old town, the sea, and the Ermita de la Salut. The volumetry was designed using simple shapes and a mixed structure according to the construction of the existing buildings in the area, without changing the original topography. The street façade has two height levels in order to adapt and to create the transition between a first neighboring building on the ground floor and a second four-floor building. The non-buildings outside areas should be occupied by a sidewalk on the edge of the building and by landscaped or vegetable garden areas.

该地块的建筑空间数量有限。为此，我们制定了各种策略来利用空间，扩大对内部空间维度的感知，如外面的门廊，起居室-餐厅的双层高度，不同房间内循环区域的整合，通过战略性地放置窗户或天窗来捕捉自然光，并创造了三个三角形的突出窗户，同时成为漂浮的室内空间的隐蔽性和与花园的视觉接触。

The plot has a limited amount of building space. For this reason, various strategies have been developed to use the space and expand the perception of the dimension of the interior space, such as the outside porch, the double-height of the living-dining room, the integration of the circulation areas within the different rooms, the capture of natural light through strategically placed windows or skylights and the creation of three triangular protruding windows that at the same time become floating interiors spaces of seclusion and in visual contact with the garden.
