这项任务包括对位于马德里历史中心的1850年的公寓进行改造，面积为45平方米。客户需要创造一个新的空间，至少包含一个卧室，一个浴室，一个厨房，足够的存储空间，以及一些小的额外空间的可能性，用于不同的用途–不过度细分空间–充分利用阳台的南向，使所有房间充满光线，这是一个重大挑战。

The assignment consisted of the renovation of an 1850’s apartment located in the historic centre of Madrid, with an area of 45m2. The client’s need to generate a new space containing at least one bedroom, a bathroom, a kitchen, enough storage space, and the possibility of some small extra space for different uses -without subdividing the spaces too much-, making the most of the south orientation of the balcony to fill all the rooms with light, posed a major challenge.

通过这种方式，房子被设想为自身的多重性，寻求在一个缩小的空间区域内增加使用的可能性。在这种情况下，”多重房屋 “指的是我们所理解的当代住房应该具有的必要的不确定性，其中空间的适应性和灵活性发挥了根本作用，允许增加使用面积，而不必一定要增加平方米。

In this way, the house is conceived as a multiple of itself, seeking to multiply the possibilities of appropriation in a reduced spatial area. In this way, “Multiple House” refers to the necessary uncertainty of uses that we understand contemporary housing should have, where the adaptability and flexibility of the spaces play a fundamental role to allow the addition of areas of use without having to necessarily grow in square meters.

在这个意义上，为了接受这个任务，我们最初问自己的问题是，如何在一个只允许35平方米可用空间的房子里增长和增加用途。因此，时间变量（使用的时间性）建立了第一条线索和第一个行动资源，作为一种干预策略，假设不需要在那些允许在日常使用中转变的空间中确定静态使用的围墙。

In this sense, the initial question we asked ourselves in order to take on the assignment had to do with how to grow and multiply the uses in a house that only allowed 35m2 of usable space. Consequently, the variable of time (temporality of use) established a first clue and the first resource of action, as a strategy of intervention, assuming the need not to determine enclosures of static uses in those spaces that allowed a transformation during daily use.

通过这种方式，房子重新配置了原来的分区，只留下结构周边作为基础，从而建立了一个新的空间配置，从定义一个湿轴，聚集了厨房和浴室，由一个进入房子的区域衔接，将作为一个大厅。客厅-餐厅区域将通过两块活动板与卧室衔接，允许在这两个区域中的每一个区域增加或减少米数，反过来，允许连接房子的整个楼层，与用户想要定义的转变或用途有关；从而允许创建新的角落、新的视觉关系和循环，这可能出现在空间的日常使用中。

In this way, the house reconfigures the original subdivision, leaving only the structural perimeter as a base, thus establishing a new spatial configuration from the definition of a wet axis that gathers the kitchen and bathroom, articulated by an access area to the house that will function as a hall. The living-dining room area will then be articulated with the bedroom through two mobile panels that allow to add or subtract meters to each of these two areas, allowing, in turn, to connect the entire floor of the house, in relation to the transformation or uses that the user wants to define; thus allowing the creation of new corners, new visual relationships, and circulations, which may appear in the daily use of space.

这两个可移动的隔断，反过来又被一个衣柜架子衔接起来，作为客厅-餐厅和卧室空间之间的一个中间件。后者被设想为一个灵活的场景，设计了一张折叠床，使卧室可以转变为一个工作区、一个休闲空间，或与主客厅完全沟通。通过这种方式，它被投射为一个不确定的空间，其中面板的移动，连同床的出现或消失，为随机性、灵活性和用途的转变开辟了道路。

Both movable partitions, in turn, are articulated by a closet shelf that functions as an intermediate piece between the living-dining room and bedroom spaces. The latter is conceived as a flexible scenario, with the design of a folding bed that allows the bedroom to be transformed into a work area, a leisure space, or to communicate completely with the main living room. In this way, it is projected as an indeterminate space, where the movement of the panels, together with the appearance or disappearance of the bed, opens the way to randomness, flexibility, and transformation of uses.

对材料的策略是尽量减少使用的元素数量，这样材料将有助于统一空间操作，从而减少作品中使用的资源。因此，主要材料被定义为云杉松木，它将被用于地板和家具，包括厨房、浴室、折叠床、架子，以及新的窗框，从而在所有安排的空间元素之间建立一个连续的表达。同时，在浴室和厨房的潮湿区域选择使用灰色的微水泥，以避免接缝，方便将来的维护。用于活动隔断的聚碳酸酯寻求定义一个新的区域，以瞥见、连接、划分和照亮房子的最深处，从而为这些元素建立一个微妙和经济的操作。

The strategy with the material was to minimise the number of elements used so that the material would contribute to unifying the spatial operation and thereby reduce the resources used in the work. Thus, the main material is defined, spruce pine wood, which will be used in flooring and furniture, both kitchen, bathroom, folding bed, shelves, as in new window frames, thus establishing a continuous expression between all the spatial elements arranged. At the same time, the use of gray micro cement was chosen for the wet areas of the bathroom and kitchen to avoid joints and facilitate future maintenance. The polycarbonate used for the movable partitions seeks to define a new area to glimpse, connect, divide, and illuminate the deepest part of the house, thus establishing a subtle and economical operation for these elements.

最后，重要的是要突出能够显示公寓年龄（1850年）的元素。为了做到这一点，我们决定解除房子的主墙，使原来的木质结构和砖块，以及时间流逝所增加的所有自然缺陷。同时，保留了主要窗户的原始木制品，以及内部的百叶窗，对其进行清洗，暴露出原始的松木，其纹理，以及多年来收集的所有铜锈。

Finally, it was important to highlight the elements that could show the age of the apartment (1850). To do this, it was decided to undress the main wall of the house, so that the original wooden structure and the brick, with all the natural imperfection that the passage of time has added. At the same time, the original woodwork of the main windows is preserved, as well as the interior shutters, which are cleaned, exposing the original pine wood, its grain, and all its patina collected over the years.

最后，决定对整个室内进行刷白，以便房子能够吸收尽可能多的自然光，再加上选择云杉松木，最终奠定了空间的轻盈氛围。

Finally, it was decided to whitewash the entire interior, so that the house can absorb as much natural light, which added to the choice of spruce pine wood, end up setting the light atmosphere of the space.
