我们找到了一座房子,从外观上看,它的分布和材料本身并不有趣。从入口处看,通过一条贯穿整个房子的黑暗走廊,两边都是房间。

We found a house that, in appearance, was not interesting in its distribution or its materials by itself. From the access, through a dark corridor running through the entire house, there were rooms on both sides.

然而,一旦拆除完成,我们意识到它可能有许多可能性:角落的位置和几乎是正方形的形状,紧挨着对角线的党墙,将使我们能够从几何方法来解决这个项目,从我们的角度来看,这是一个基本的工具,可以自然而有效地从图中走向现实。

However, once the demolition was finished, we realized that it could hold many possibilities: the corner location and the almost-square shape next to a diagonal party wall were going to allow us to solve the project from a geometric approach, which is, from our point of view, a fundamental tool to move naturally but efficiently from a diagram to reality.

客户想要一个简单的家,没有任何具体的需求,只是允许他们有时在家里工作或慷慨地做饭,并容易适应未来的变化。这使我们能够引导我们对房子的部分持续兴趣,那些从我们对空间的使用中反映出的灵活性,并使我们能够以非预设的方式使它们减少等级。

Customers wanted a simple home and did not have any specific needs, other than allowing them to work at home sometimes or cook generously and to easily adapt to future changes. This allowed us to channel part of our constant interest around the house, those that reflect on flexibility from the use we make of spaces, and that enable us to make them less hierarchical in a non-premeditated way.

标志着通道的几何痕迹是在房子中心放置一个多边形作品的起点,它允许在它周围衔接不同的空间,像一个膝盖骨。这个多边形的作品,特别是一个八角形,超越了单纯的分布或通道,成为一个停留或会面的地方,在那里发生了意想不到的事情。在它的旁边,有两个封闭的作品,是唯一有一个通道的作品,有一个淋浴和一个厕所,允许同时使用。从这里开始,是一个带柜子的小厅,以释放房间,并允许它们根据未来的需要有不同的用途。在这些不确定的空间里出现了其他的存储件,它们要么是柜子,要么是架子。

The geometric traces marking the access were the starting point to place a polygonal piece in the center of the house, that allowed articulating different spaces around it, like a kneecap. This polygonal piece, specifically an octagon, beyond being a mere piece of distribution or passage, becomes a place to stay or meet, in which the unexpected happens. Next to it, there are two closed pieces, the only ones with a single access, with a shower and a toilet, to allow simultaneous uses. From here, a small hall with cabinets to free the rooms and to allow them to have different uses depending on the needs to come. Other pieces of storage appear in those indeterminate spaces, which are either cabinets or shelves.

外墙的连续作品拉长了房间的视角,使空间更加宽敞。朝着八角形打开的窗户,或允许进入房间的几个门,创造了多个纵向、横向和对角线轴。厨房和八角楼之间的通透窗户将这个模糊的空间变成了厨房的延伸,允许在窗户的两边吃早餐或喝葡萄酒。

The succession of pieces on the facade lengthens the perspective of the rooms and gives more spaciousness to the spaces. The windows that open toward the octagon, or the several doors that allow access to the rooms create multiple longitudinal, transversal, and diagonal axes. The pass-through window between the kitchen and the octagon turns this ambiguous space into an extension of the kitchen, allowing breakfast or a cup of wine on both sides of the window.

所有的部件都是相互连接的,并围绕中心部件转动,使其周边交叉,以增加视觉和空间关系,并提供交叉通风,在夏天成为一个凉爽的房子,或让所有的空间以自然的方式被照亮。最后,材料建议的目的是把房子看成一个单元的想法。因此,在材料的选择上,清醒和统一是要遵循的方式。微妙的细节让人想起以前的存在:用磨砂玻璃恢复的门或暴露的混凝土柱。轻微的木制细节,如把手和闪光灯,以及绿色的元素,有意识地打破了同质性,以重新引导外观,没有僵硬的问题。

All the pieces are connected to each other, and turn around the central piece, which enables to be crossed in its perimeter, to multiply the visual and spatial relations, and also to provide crossed ventilation and being a cool house in the summer or to allow all the spaces to be illuminated in a natural way. Finally, the material proposal aimed at the idea to perceive the house as a unit. So, sobriety and uniformity in the choice of materials was the way to follow. Subtle details recall the pre-existence: doors recovered with frosted glass or a concrete column left exposed. Slight wooden details as knobs and flashings together with elements in green color consciously break the homogeneity to redirect the look without stridencies.
