QBN房子坐落在家庭农场的最高点和西边的界限，位于维亚纳-杜卡斯特罗的一个农村和低密度地区。
QBN house sits at the highest point and west limit of the family farm, in a rural and low-density area of Viana do Castelo.
房子被农场的绿色植物所包围，这个景观的特点是有大量的树木、花卉、灌木、石砌梯田、石板路、花岗岩水箱、耕地和果园。
The house is surrounded by the greenery of the farm, a landscape characterized by a large variety of trees, flowers, bushes, stone masonry terraces, slate paths, granite water tanks, cultivated fields, and orchards.
以前的建筑，现在翻新后成为家庭住宅，曾是农场的一个辅助建筑，以前在不同的历史时期被用作学校、酒窖和农业仓库。分为两个石砌并列的体量：一个有盖但开放的建筑与街道相邻，旁边是一个两层楼的建筑。
The former construction, now refurbished to become the family house, had been a secondary building of the farm, previously used as a school, wine cellar, and agricultural storage, at different periods of its history. Divided into two stone masonry juxtaposed volumes: a covered but open construction contiguous to the street and a two-story building next to it.
面向街道的体量保持在石板砌筑的外墙上，与现有的外墙保持一致。北侧用热处理过的木材垂直条进行装饰，以配合相邻的木材结构屋顶。两层楼的坡屋顶已经被改变为大概是原来的臀部屋顶，导致外墙的体积和高度增加。
Facing the street, there is the volume kept in a slate masonry facade, in continuity with the existing external walls. The Northside is finished with thermo-treated timber vertical strips to match the contiguous timber structured roof. The gable roof of the two-story building has been changed to the presumably original hip roof, resulting in an increased volume and height of the facade.
进入房子是通过上层的有盖区域，在那里可以找到入口、办公室和通往主楼的通道，主楼里有房子的公共区域和游戏室。现有的开口被保留了下来，并创建了新的开口，以便这些开口能将树冠的颜色展现在房子的内部。
Access to the house is made through the covered area, at the upper floor level, where one finds the entrance, the office, and the passage to the main volume that hosts the common areas of the house and the playroom. The existing openings were kept and new ones were created so that these reveal the colors of the tree canopies to the inside of the house.
房子的主要空间是一个长长的房间，长度为13.5米，有一个倾斜的天花板。这个房间有不同的区域：钢琴区、客厅和餐厅。用餐区的亮点是桦木胶合板，它覆盖了一面墙和通往厨房的滑动门，并延续到厨房的一个柜子里，标志着通往外面的道路。底层是房子的私人空间，3间卧室和一个可以通往花园的客厅。
The main space of the house is the long room with a 13,5m length and a sloped ceiling. This room has different areas: piano area, living and dining room. The dining area is highlighted by the birch plywood panels, which cover one wall and the sliding door to access the kitchen and continue into one of the kitchen cabinets, marking the way to the outside. On the lower floor are the private spaces of the house, 3 bedrooms and a living room with access to the garden.
为了使用天然和可回收的材料，我们选择了更传统的解决方案，如外墙的石灰基灰泥，木制窗框，木制屋顶结构，用木梁和实木板制成的地板结构，用膨胀的软木颗粒进行保温，用里加木进行铺设。
More traditional solutions were chosen in an attempt to use natural and recyclable materials, such as lime-based plaster for the facades, timber window frames, timber roof structure, floor structure made with timber beams and solid wood panels boards, insulated with expanded cork granules and pavements finished with Riga wood.
QBN房屋的翻新旨在改善生活条件，但不影响建筑的特性，与农场的其他建筑保持和谐，并尊重其与周围环境的融合。
The refurbishment of the QBN house aimed to improve the living conditions without detracting from the building’s character, keeping harmony with the other constructions of the farm and respecting its integration into the surroundings.
