这座位于厄瓜多尔纳波利斯的周末度假屋面积只有700平方英尺（65平方米），返璞归真，赞美周围的乡土建筑。住宅的四种主要材料--当地采购的砖、钢、混凝土和玻璃--通过简单而纯粹的形式相互作用，在灯光和阴影的相互作用下显得格外耀眼。除了采购当地材料外，厄瓜多尔PJCArchitecture的设计-建造部门Make Estudio还雇用了当地的工匠和工作人员来创造这个隐秘的宝石。最终的 "小 "房子包含一个卧室、一个卫生间和一个灵活的阁楼空间，并采用被动式太阳能设计，以适应当地快速变化的温度。
At a compact 700 square feet (65 square meters), this weekend getaway in Napoles, Ecuador goes back to basics and celebrates the vernacular architecture of its surroundings. The home’s four primary materials—locally sourced brick, steel, concrete, and glass—interact through simple and pure forms, dappled by an interplay of lights and shadows. In addition to sourcing local materials, Make Estudio, the Design-Build division of PJCArchitecture in Ecuador, employed local craftsmen and crew members to create this hidden gem. The resultant “tiny” home contains one bedroom, one bathroom, and a flexible loft space, and features a passive solar design to accommodate the rapidly shifting temperatures of its locale.
该住宅由两个简单的形式组成，并由一座玻璃桥连接。PJCA面临的挑战是在一个小的围护结构中包含一个完整的住宅的所有元素，而不使空间感到局促，PJCA不仅在平面上而且在截面上对设计进行了构思，创造了一个双层高度的空间，扩大了内部占地面积，以满足附近城市基多的外部山景。
The home is composed of two simple forms connected by a glass bridge. Challenged to include all elements of a full home in a small envelope without the space feeling confined, PJCA conceptualized the design not only in the plan but in sections, creating a double-height space, expanding the interior footprint to meet the exterior mountain views of the nearby city of Quito.
双层结构包含一个客厅、餐厅、厨房和灵活的阁楼空间，可作为办公室或客房使用。定制的落地玻璃和金属门融合了室内和室外的界限，最大限度地利用了自然光，并捕捉到了外部的景观，同时使住宅更宽敞。一个定制的金属梯子提供了通往阁楼空间的通道。一个雕塑般的青铜壁炉，也是定制的，在生活区提供了一个视觉上的吸引力。
The double-height structure contains a living room, dining room, kitchen, and flexible loft space that can be used as an office or guest room. Custom-built floor-to-ceiling glass and metal doors blend the boundaries between indoors and out, maximizing natural light and capturing exterior views of the landscape while contributing to a more spacious feeling in the home. A custom metal ladder provides access to the loft space. A sculptural bronze fireplace, also custom, provides a point of visual intrigue in the living area.
较小的结构包含一个浴室和卧室。浴室被分为两部分--一个带有马桶和淋浴的私人部分，以及一个水槽区，就在后面。为了实现非典型的窗户功能，团队拆除了部分砖墙，在空隙中创造出一个图案，然后用玻璃填充，在封闭空间的同时保持透明度。穿孔砖墙在浴室空间内创造了一种光与影的相互作用。在外墙上，带有植物的穿孔图案增加了私密性，同时融入了额外的绿色元素。
The smaller structure contains a bathroom and bedroom. The bathroom is divided into two portions—a private section with a toilet and shower, and a sink area just beyond. For an atypical window feature, the team removed segments of the brick wall coursing to create a pattern out of the voids, which were then filled with glass to maintain transparency while enclosing the space. The perforated brick wall creates an interplay of light and shadow within the bathroom space. On the exterior wall, a perforated pattern with plantings increases privacy while incorporating additional green elements.
该住宅位于基多市外约一小时车程，海拔2800米，其所在地的天气反差很大。在早晨和晚上，天气温和凉爽，而在中午时分，温度急剧上升。为了适应这种不寻常的天气模式，该住宅采用了被动式太阳能设计方法。东面和西面的阳光在早上和晚上都能直接照射。砖块材料储存了白天的热量，并在晚上气温下降时释放出来。
Located roughly one hour outside of Quito, which rests at 2800 meters above sea level, the home’s locale experiences highly contrasting weather. In the morning and evenings, the weather is mild and cool, and at noon the temperature skyrockets. To accommodate this unusual weather pattern, the home employs a passive solar design approach. The east and west exposures receive direct sunlight in the morning and in the evening. The brick material stores the heat of the day and releases it at night when the temperatures drop.
住宅四面的可开启门窗有利于空气的交叉流通。在一个没有空调和暖气的地区，PJCA采用了材料和设计策略，在任何时候都能提供舒适的温度，同时有利于能源效率。
The operable windows and doors on all sides of the home facilitate cross-air circulation. In a region where air conditioning and heating are uncommon, PJCA employed materials and design strategies to provide comfortable temperatures at all times while favoring energy efficiency.
在整个过程中，当地的工匠成为设计过程中不可或缺的一部分，这主要是通过现场沟通来实现的。最终的住宅是一个环保、舒适的空间，完全沉浸在当地的环境中。
Throughout the process, the local craftsmen became an integral part of the design process, which was largely developed via on-site communication. The resultant home is an environmentally responsive, comfortable space that fully immerses itself within its locale.
