IWI是一个建筑项目,为用户提供一个适应其生活方式的生活空间。它是由建筑师Juan Ruiz和Amelia Tapia在厄瓜多尔开发并获得专利的产品。该生活空间是通过数控切割(CNC铣削)的数字生产方式在木材上建造的,创造了一个工业化的产品,使其具有普遍性、大规模生产和易于组装和拆卸。
IWI is an architectural project that offers the user a living space that adapts to their lifestyle. It is a product developed and patented in Ecuador by the architects Juan Ruiz and Amelia Tapia. The living space is built in wood by means of digital production cut by numerical control (CNC milling), creating an industrialized product that allows its universality, mass production, and easy assembly and disassembly.



该空间可以扩展或压缩,取决于用户的需求。压缩时,它表现得像一件家具或一个架子。当扩展时,它成为一个生活空间,包含履行其不同功能所需的一切,如办公室/工作间、瑜伽室、休闲空间、工作室、会议室、客房等。它允许在内部灵活使用,也允许在尊重环境的前提下使用室外空间(通过压缩它)。
The space is extended or compressed, depending on the needs of the user. When compressed, it behaves like a piece of furniture or a shelf. When extended, it becomes a living space that contains everything necessary to fulfill its different functions, such as office/work office, yoga studio, relaxation space, workshop, meeting room, guest room, etc. It allows flexibility of use both inside, and the use of outdoor space (by compressing it), being respectful of the environment.


建筑师尝试使用最小的空间,但配备和设计到毫米,使每个体验都是独特和舒适的。通过两个由折叠结构连接的模块,空间通过压缩或解压得到改变。后面的模块是由 "家具 "组成的,里面有使用空间所需的一切,椅子、桌子、抽屉、架子等。此外,它还包含每一种用途所决定的所有设施,如水槽、照明、电源插座、电器开关等。IWI允许其使用 "在网 "或 "不在网",这取决于它的位置。前面的模块是空间的入口,在轮子上滑动,显示出 "手风琴 "式的结构,上面覆盖着纺织品。
The architects experiment with minimal space but equipped and designed to the millimeter so that each experience is unique and comfortable. Through two modules connected by a folding structure, the space is modified by compressing or decompressing it. The rear module is made up of a "furniture" with everything necessary for the use of the space, chairs, tables, drawers, shelves, etc. In addition, it contains all the facilities that each use determines, such as a sink, lighting, electrical outlets, electrical switches, etc. IWI allows its use “On grid” or “off grid”, depending on where it is located. The front module is the entrance to the space and slides on wheels, displaying the "accordion" type structure, which is covered with a textile.


在这个具体案例中,IWI坐落在基多北部的一个露台上,面向西方,可以看到皮钦查火山的山坡。它的具体用途是学习或工作场所。这个空间有两个人的工作场所所需的一切。后面的模块是设施和必要的家具的容器,设计到毫米,以便容纳其功能所需的所有元素。这种家具包括两张桌子和两把椅子、打印机空间、抽屉、架子,还有一个带有隐藏水槽的自助餐厅空间。它还包括电气和水的安装,可以随时连接到现有的网络。
In this specific case, IWI sits on a terrace in the north of Quito, facing west, with views of the slopes of the Pichincha volcano. Its specific use is study or workplace. The space has everything necessary for a workplace for two people. The rear module, a container for the facilities and necessary furniture, is designed to the millimeter so that it houses all the elements necessary for its function. This ̈furniture ̈ contains two tables and two chairs, space for a printer, drawers, a shelf, and also a cafeteria space with a hidden sink. It also includes electrical and water installations, ready to connect to the existing network.


阳台的空间并没有消失,它被改造了,根据所进行的活动,提供外部空间或内部空间。小屋可以完全扩展,有2-4人的空间。它可以扩展到一半,为任何其他户外活动留下户外空间,或者它可以完全关闭,使用所有的户外空间。
The terrace space is not lost, it is transformed, giving exterior space or interior space depending on the activity that is carried out. The cabin can be fully extended, having a space for 2-4 people. It can be extended to half, leaving outdoor space for any other outdoor activities, or it can be completely closed and use all the outdoor space.
