L住宅的项目源于在美丽的自然环境中,为Valle de Bravo现有住宅的宿舍创建一个新的连接。到现在为止,这些房子都是通过其他房子进入的,所以业主不放心邀请朋友,因为他们不能为他们提供一定的亲密感。最初的项目还包括一个新的独立的两层楼的体量,作为一个公寓运作,有客厅、卧室、浴室和一个小厨房。

The project of L residence derives from the need to create a new connection to the dormitories of an existing dwelling in the Valle de Bravo, in a beautiful natural environment. Until now, the houses were accessed through the other ones, so the owners did not feel comfortable inviting friends since they could not offer them a certain intimacy. The initial project also included a new independent two-floors volume that operated as an apartment with living room, bedroom, bathroom and a small kitchen.

我们建议用一个单一的元素来解决这两个问题。一条连接老房子和新体量的曲线,形成了一个新的循环,一条在旅行中被压缩和扩大的路径。这条线与前期的交汇处为住宅提供了一个横向的通道,因此,在宿舍和浴室的布置上有了一些内部的变化,完全重新制定。在这里,当地生产的材料被用来以一种现代的方式重新制定。

We proposed to solve both with a single element. A curve that connected the old house and the new volume forming a new circulation, a path that is compressed and expanded as it is traveled. The intersection of this line with the preexistence provided a lateral access to the residence and, therefore, some internal changes in the disposition of the dormitory and bathroom that were totally reformulated. Here, locally produced materials were used to reformulate them in a contemporary way.

最后,自治体被推迟了,决定只建造连接。不知何故,该项目被缩减为一个斜面上的走廊。而这似乎更有趣了。

Finally, the autonomous volume was postponed and it was decided to build only the connection. Somehow the project was reduced to a corridor on inclined planes. And that seemed even more interesting.

想起亚历杭德罗-德拉-索塔的一句话:建筑师总是为每只猫提供兔子。在西班牙的法布里奇奥,有一句话。”用一只猫换一只野兔”,因为在内战期间,有人把煮熟的猫说成是野兔(从那时起,这意味着欺骗别人,给人的东西比他买的更差)。因此,这句话的意思正好相反:每只猫给野兔就是给别人买的更好的东西。

Recall the words attributed to Alejandro de la Sota: the architect always gives hare per cat. In Fabrizio, Spain, there is a saying: “to give a cat for a hare”, since during the civil war it was served a boiled cat saying that it was a hare (which, since then, means to deceive someone to give something worse than the person is buying). This phrase, therefore, means just the opposite: giving hare per cat is giving someone something better that is being bought.

我们反思一下,在历史上,环境之间新的交流需求是如何一直在改变,房子的基本设计。还有一个通常被低估的项目,如一个简单的循环,可以变得更多,例如罗马的西班牙广场的楼梯。

We reflect on how the new communication needs between environments have been changing, throughout history, the basic design of a house. And in how a program normally undervalued, such as a simple circulation, can become much more, as the stairs of Spain Square in Rome, for example.

这个新的空间一方面引入了一个新的消失点和一个新的流动逻辑在以前的住宅。另一方面,它是一种体验,从根本上说是通过使用天窗的光线处理,重视砖的纹理。这表明有一个时刻,从一个半内部来考虑外部,花园,因为它在一个斜坡上,以不同的方式向外开放。

This new space introduces, on the one hand, a new vanishing point and a new flow logic in the former residence. On the other hand, it is an experience, fundamentally through the light treatment with the use of skylights that value the textures of the brick. This suggests a moment to contemplate the exterior, the garden, from a semi-interior which, being on a slope, opens outwards in different ways.

因此,我们为住宅创造了第二个外立面,它与原来的外立面脱节,并保留了第一条曲线的记忆,允许在它们之间发生许多事情。

Thus, we create a second facade for the residence that disconnects from the original, with the memory of the first curve drawn, to allow many things to happen between them.
