这座位于阿利坎特(西班牙东南部)Cabo de las Huertas的奇特房屋的设计起源可以用三个小故事来概括。第一个也是最明显的一个故事是指客户,他梦想再次定期游泳。这就是为什么在绘制平面图时,第一个决定是在该地块上安装一条25米长的游泳道。这一事实,再加上地形的不平坦,解释了L型二楼在游泳池和一楼上方的飞行,以及通往室内的通道顺序。

The origin of the design of this singular house located in Cabo de las Huertas in Alicante (southeast Spain) can be summed up in three short stories. The first and most obvious is the one that refers to the client, who dreams of swimming regularly again. That is why the first decision when drawing the floor plan is to fit a 25m long swimming lane on the plot. This fact, together with the unevenness of the terrain, explains the flight of the L-shaped second floor over the pool and first floor, as well as the access sequence to the interior.

然而,第二个故事与PLAYSTUDIO对某些当地建筑的非乡土化改造的想法越来越感兴趣有关,而不是像通常那样引进全球的、外国的和更炫耀的陈词滥调和类型。我们要求通过重新庆祝地中海白色海岸的一种新身份,在这种情况下,重新庆祝我们第一个温和的现代运动的建筑,这是20世纪60年代阿利坎特市向海岸发展的类型学标准–正如在其他沿海城市发生的那样。例如,给结构网格提供可见性,用全砖或格子表面填充其单元,在阿利坎特的海滩建筑环境中形成了强烈的特征,这所房子就在那里,另一方面,它也配置了客户的日常想象。

However, the second story has to do with a growing interest in PLAYstudio for the idea of a non-nostalgic REMAKE of certain local architectures as opposed to the usual import of global, foreign and showier clichés and types. We claim a kind of new identity of the Mediterranean White Coast through the re-celebration, in this case, of the architectures of our first and modest Modern Movement that was the typological standard in the growth of the city of Alicante towards the coast in the 1960s -as it happened in other coastal municipalities. Gestures such as giving visibility to the structural grid and filling its cells with full brick or lattice surfaces, for example, form a strong identity in the built environment of Alicante’s beaches, where this house is located and which, on the other hand, configures the client’s everyday imaginary.

正是客户的这种想象,也引入了第三个故事。白色实际上已经成为白色海岸的主要美学参考,这也看到了近几十年来,立方体的、原始的、超白的气势和无菌的单户住宅是如何逐步安装的。因此,客户,他自己也是这个其他想象的受害者,把白色作为一个起始条件。因此,我们有机会把另一条研究线带到办公室:”不只是白色的房子”,这是一系列安装在海岸上的独户住宅,试图逃离原始和立体的白色作为一个默认的解决方案。这就是为什么,结合之前提到的,白色在油漆结构中变得更加复杂和细微,变得明确,亚光砖表面,缎面处理的木工或玻璃化的格子……但所有的白色,当然。简而言之,许多类型的白色被实施,以形成,不无讽刺(PLAY的另一个常见资源),一种 “白上加白”。

It was this imaginary of the client that also introduces the third story. White has practically become the main aesthetic reference on the White Coast, which has seen how in recent decades cubic, pristine and super white imposing and aseptic single-family houses have been progressively installed. As a consequence, the client, who is himself a victim of this other imaginary, imposes white as a starting condition. Hence the opportunity to bring another line of research in the office: the More Than White Houses, a series of single-family houses installed on the coast that seek to flee from the pristine and cubic white as a default solution. This is why, in conjunction with what was mentioned before, white becomes more complex and nuanced in a painted structure that becomes explicit, matt brick surfaces, satin-finished carpentry or vitrified latticework… but all in white, of course. In short, many types of white are implemented to form, not without irony (another common resource in PLAY), a kind of “White on White”.
