Casa del Mar是一对夫妇的退休之家,面向太平洋,位于墨西哥下加利福尼亚州La Misión的195平方米的地块上。它由一个简单的程序组成:两个房间、一个书房、一个图书馆和一个公共空间。在有限的面积内,公共和私人区域必须被分为两层,由大厅连接。地形的轻微坡度被用来配置各部分:大厅保持在街道水平上;公共区域被抬高以框住大海的景色,私人区域被部分挖掘以产生隐私和与花园的亲密关系。该建筑是不同系统的复杂配置,是工艺和工业、传统和创新的混合体;是当代的本土主义。场地土壤、金属、挖掘的石头、二次使用的木材。

Casa del Mar is the retirement home for a couple, facing the Pacific Ocean on a 195 m2 parcel in La Misión, Baja California, Mexico. It consists of a simple program: two rooms, a study, a library, and a common space. In a limited area, the public and private areas had to be divided into two levels linked by the lobby. The slight slope of the terrain is used to configure the sections: the lobby remains at street level; the public area is raised to frame the views of the sea and the private area is partially excavated to generate privacy and an intimate relationship with the gardens. The construction is a complex configuration of different systems, a mixture of crafts and industry, tradition and innovation; contemporary indigenism. Site soil, metal, excavation stone, second-use wood.

周边的墙是50厘米厚的夯土墙,里面的假工程是用旧的petatillo板材,以达到地面干燥后的纹理打印。而外侧的假工–垂直于海风的那一面–则覆盖着作为建筑系统的bahareque的重新配置,为大地提供保护。Palo de arco是一种生长在巴哈州南部Sierra de la Giganta的木材,在圣金廷被用于种植番茄。这种曾经被庄稼人丢弃的木棍也被用作失落的假山和墙壁的保护层,防止土坯在面对持续的海洋湿度时发生退化。起初,周边均匀地覆盖着木棍,以获得绝对的阴凉。一旦理解了阴影,研究了沉默,在不改变棍子的连续排列的情况下,在光线将进入的地方产生了遗漏,花园将被沉思,风将过境。这些老棍子墙,在一面墙上垂直重复,在另一面墙上水平重复,创造了老皮肤的模式,由于棍子的不规则性而产生皱纹,并与它们一起老化。

The perimeter walls are 50cm thick rammed earth walls, falsework on the inside with old petatillo sheets to achieve a print of the texture on the ground once it’s dried. While the falsework on the external side – the one that faces perpendicular to the sea wind – is covered with a reconfiguration of the bahareque as a construction system to provide protection to the earth, Palo de arco is a wood that grows at Sierra de la Giganta in southern Baja and is used for tomato cultivation in San Quintín. This same stick, once discarded from the crop, was used as a lost falsework and a protective skin for the walls, preventing adobe degradation in the face of constant ocean humidity. At first, the perimeter was evenly covered with sticks for absolute shade. Once the shadow is understood, the silence has been studied, without altering the continuous arrangement of the sticks, omissions are generated where the light will come in, gardens will be contemplated, and wind will transit. These old stick walls, which are repeated vertically on one wall, and horizontally on another, create the pattern of old skin that wrinkles due to the irregularity of the rods and ages with them.

粘附在地球这个肉体上的皮肤,创造出太阳经过时已经变得不均匀的阴影,它振动了视野,看到了时间,恶化。物质的、可触摸的皮肤,会失去它的颜色,但会在保护时利用老龄化对房子有利,避免了不断的维护。用土建造是为了记住;让心教给手,认识到我们是土著,接受旧知识,继续联系,履行我们的角色。在一个混合系统的建筑活动中,综合各部分是保持一个旨在拥抱、沉思、爱的家的整洁的关键。做正确的事,避免噪音,和夸张。从最小的想法出发,协调各部分,建立一个省略的交响乐,一个从沉默中唱歌的房子。Casa del Mar是为了设计在其背景下和谐的恶化。”我记得画家弗朗西斯科-托莱多,当我们设计一个花园时,他用非常精细的土坯混合物画了一面墙,几乎是滑石粉,没有任何类型的密封剂。他所寻找的不是画墙,而是当下雨的时候,大地的眼泪将作为红色的出血留在地板上。”老龄化的想法,设计恶化,以及建筑中的因果关系,必须使我们与不断变化和恶劣的景观的关系敏感化,在材料的管理中,他们的背景和后果。理解建筑也是暂时的,是体验退休的地方;是突然有一天停止存在的空间。

A skin that adheres to the flesh that is the earth that creates shadows that have become uneven when the sun passes, that vibrates the view, sees time, deterioration. Matteric, tactile skin that will lose its color, but will use old age in favor of the house when protecting, avoiding constant maintenance. Building with earth is to remember; letting the heart teach to the hands, recognizing the indigenous we are, taking up old knowledge, continuing the link, and fulfilling our role. In a construction exercise with a mixed system, synthesizing the parts is key to maintaining the neatness of a home designed to hug, contemplate, to love. Doing what is correct, avoiding noise, and exaggeration. Harmonize the components from the idea of the minimum and build a symphony of omissions, a house that sings from its silences. Casa del Mar is to design deterioration harmonized in its context. “I remember the painter Francisco Toledo when we designed a garden and he painted a wall with a very fine adobe mixture, almost talc, without any type of sealant. What he was looking for was not to paint the wall, but when it rains tears from the earth will remain as a red bleed on the floor” The idea of old age, designing deterioration, and causality in construction, must sensitize our relationship with a changing and inclement landscape, in the management of materials in their context and their consequences. Understand that architecture is also temporary, a place to experience retirement; a space to suddenly, one day, stop being.
