Plaza 之家，乌拉圭，MASS Arquitectos

Casa Plaza由位于Malvín社区的 “奥林匹克广场 “前的小型单户住宅改建而成。

Casa Plaza consists in the remodeling of a small single-family residence in front of the “Plaza de los Olímpicos” in the Malvín neighborhood.

我们面临的挑战是如何在一个综合的环境中扩展和改造一栋老房子，它是零散的，缺乏外部空间，在保护内部隐私的同时寻求增加与外部空间的关系。

The challenge was to extend and modify in a consolidated context an old house, fragmented and lacking in exterior spaces, seeking to increase relations with outer space while protecting interior privacy .

在紧凑的场地内，房子的垂直结构类似于树，一个三方的数字，允许连接不同密度和质地的程序。

Within the compact site the house is vertically structured analogously to the tree, a tripartite figure that allows to link the programs with different densities and textures.

在底层，房子释放了空间，创造了一个向北的天井，并完善了预先存在的任何装饰品的体积，产生了一个简单的几何形状的平台，利用其内向性来遏制对街道的接近。这个坚固的单色基座在其内部被战略性地钻孔，以使社会区域具有流动性和连续性。

On the ground floor the house frees space to create a patio to the north and refines the pre-existing volume of any ornament, generating a podium of simple geometry that uses its introversion to contain the proximity to the street. This robust monochrome plinth is strategically drilled in its interior to give fluidity and continuity to social areas.

在基座上，木格子包含了亲密的空间，它微妙地支撑着，没有占据它的全部，它被移除以给予广场的连续性；渗透性和密集性，皮肤收缩或扩张，筛选光线和经验。在它上面有一块质朴的混凝土板，为房子的阶梯形加冕。

On the plinth the wooden lattice contains the intimate spaces, it supports delicately, without occupying its totality, it is removed to give continuity to the plaza; permeable and dense, the skin shrinks or dilates sifting light and experiences. On it rests the slab of rustic concrete, crowning the stepped figure of the house.
