一所房子想成为什么?- 路易斯-汗 一段时间以来,坎昆已经开始区分自己的建筑,并努力认同当地的美学,与邻近的城市梅里达相得益彰。基本的、简单定义的土地,正交的和基本的尺寸–主要是180-350平方米–允许夫妻或家庭通过建筑和设计享受半岛上的生活。这种建筑已经在当地社区建立了自己的格式,使其在建筑项目所在的地方变得连贯、美丽和原创。

What does a house want to be? – Louis Khan For a while now, Cancun has begun to distinguish itself as a kind of architecture that has fought to identify itself with local aesthetics that complements the neighboring city, Mérida. Basic, simple defined land, orthogonal and of basic dimensions- primarily from 180-350 meters squared- permitting that couples or families primarily enjoy the life on a peninsula through the architecture and design. The kind of architecture that has established its format into the local community, making it coherent, beautiful and original in the locations in which the architecture projects are placed.

这就是我们来到蒙特布兰科26号的方式,一个300米见方的长方形规定的住宅,创造了一个创造敬畏感的空间,这种敬畏感在墙壁和开口处,在奶油和白色调的外墙上,通过装饰它的纯洁的虚无来表达。使用无可挑剔的当地材料,如木材、”sas-cab “或在该地区发现的白色石头、玛雅混凝土,除了灰泥、砾石、浆料,当然还有Chuk-um,一种玛雅树脂,作为混凝土的补充。所有这些结合在一起,形成了一个抛光的执行,有一点参考了地中海或葡萄牙建筑的建筑师,如Fran Silvestre,Aires Mateus,甚至Campos Baeza。这座房子是一个水平和垂直穿孔的单体,以传达它所构成的主要元素的外观,即建筑构成的主题:(空隙、孔隙、缝隙、空间、缝隙、穿孔、断裂)在墙壁和屋顶,也就是说,窗户。房子里的经验变成了一个框架游戏–我看你,你看我,我偷看,你偷看–在这里,不同的元素,同样在内部和外部,描绘和遮蔽:外部花园里的ceiba,假设是池塘的游泳池,天井和花园的房子无障碍,然后是天空的景色,像溶解的景色,偷看的天空,反射的天空,在晚上,将隐藏在发光的白色、蓝色和黄色灯光的后面。

This is the manner, we’ve arrived to Monteblanco 26, a home of 300 meters squared in a rectangular provision that creates a space that creates a sensation of awe, an awe that is expressed in the walls and openings, in the cream and white toned facades, through the purity of nothingness that adorns it. Using an impeccable utility of local materials, such as the wood, the ‘sas-cab” or white stone found in the region, the Mayan concrete, apart from the stucco, gravel, pastes and of course, the Chuk-um, a Mayan resin that functions as a concrete supplement. All of this joined together to form a polished execution that has a small reference to the Mediterranean or Portuguese architecture by architects such as Fran Silvestre, Aires Mateus, and even Campos Baeza. The house is a singular block horizontally and vertically perforated various times to convey an appearance of the primary element that it constitutes, the leitmotif of the architecture’s composition: (the void, the aperture, the gap, the space, the slit, the perforation, the break) in the walls and roof, that is to say, the windows. The experience inside the house then becomes a game of frames- I see you, you see me, I peek into, you peek out-, where the distinct elements, similarly in the interior as well as the exterior, portray and obscure: a ceiba in the exterior garden, the pool presuming a pond, the patio and garden’s house accessibility and then the view of the sky, the sky like a dissolved view, the sky that peeks, the sky that reflects, the sky that, in the night, will hide behind the luminescent white, blue and yellow lights.

这座房子用它的墙壁和开口说话,用它的(温暖/欢迎)和(寒冷/遥远),用它的蓝色色调和白色色调,用那两个最初的开口,它们很可能是天井,但最好被认为是窗户,空气、光线和此刻的水,在这里成为一面笼罩的镜子,一个刷新的喷泉或一个让人着迷的水池,同时容纳太阳和天空。如果居住是一种诗意的行为,那么这所房子显示了它的基础:一个更宁静的坎昆的内部,平静和自由,为一个家庭。这座房子在外部看来几乎是密不透风的,但也储存着它的内部,并将其送回天空;这座房子表明了居住是一种复杂的行为,睡觉、吃饭甚至看电视都只是日常的表面现象,居住也是一种感觉,是反映和安宁,其功能,不仅仅是实用性或机械性,是超越的机会,一种象征性的功能,人类的功能,超验的功能。

The house speaks, attempts to say, with its walls and openings, with its (warm/ welcoming) and (cold/distant), with its blue hues and white tones and with those two initial openings that could well be patios, but are better recognized as windows, windows where that air, the light and in the moment, the water, become a mirror that envelopes, a fountain that refreshes or a mesmerizing pool that hold that sun and the sky alike. If inhabiting is a poetic act, then this house shows its foundation: the interior of a more serene Cancun, calm and free, for a family. A house that almost seems hermetic to the exterior, but also stores its interior and sends it back up into the sky; a house that demonstrates just how living is a complicated act, that sleeping, eating and even watching television are just a scrape of the surface of everydayness, that living is also feeling, it is reflecting and being at peace, the function, more than just the practicality or mechanics, is the opportunity to transcend, a symbolic function, the human function, the transcendental function.
