这个在1950年的联排别墅的干预项目的出发点是为了弥补这种类型的一个普遍缺陷,即缺乏开放的生活空间。该物业已经经历了以前的装修,唯一没有被覆盖的是前院的车库。

The starting point of this intervention project in a 1950 townhouse was to remedy a common deficiency in this typology, the lack of open living spaces. The property had already undergone previous renovations where the only thing left uncovered was the garage in the front yard.

为了将这一空间转化为休闲区,我们建议创建一个繁茂的花园,尽管它的尺寸很小。一方面,这个新的区域促进了与房子的不同关系–房子现在对这个区域更加开放–它也带来了与邻居建立新关系的机会。通过打开与人行道接壤的大推拉门,花园就像一个小广场。

Aiming to convert this space into a leisure area, we proposed to create an exuberant garden, despite its small dimensions. If, on one hand, this new area fosters a different relationship with the house —which is now far more open to the area— it also brings the opportunity to establish a new relationship with the neighborhood. By opening the large sliding gate bordering the sidewalk, the garden resembles a small plaza.

狭长的房屋平面图-4.60×15米-有一些难以占用的部分,以及在这种规模的房屋的标准布局中未使用的空间。为了给方案创造一个更平衡的分布,在起居室的最初部分增加了一个新的阳台,在花园和房子的内部之间提供了一个过渡环境,同时也提供了一个户外用餐的选择。

The narrow and elongated floor plan of the house —4.60 x 15 m— had sections that would have been difficult to occupy, as well as spaces left unused in what would be a standard layout for a house of that size. In an attempt to create a more balanced distribution for the program, a new veranda was added to the initial portion of the living room, providing a transitional environment between the garden and the interior of the house, while also offering an option for outdoor dining.

为了使外墙在几乎整个横截面的长度上都能被拆除,我们使用钢板进行结构加固。由非常细长的折叠钢型材组成的框架系统,使我们能够使用滑动门,使房间可以大面积打开。

In order to make it possible to demolish the facade in almost the entire length of its cross-section, we used steel plates for structural reinforcement. The framing system, consisting of very slender folded steel profiles, enabled the use of sliding doors that allow the room to be opened widely.

为了支持花园的用途,我们在靠近侧墙的地方纵向布置了一个裸露的混凝土元素,其中包括一个小水池、一个花园长椅和一个阳台上的餐饮台。

To support the uses planned for the garden, a linear element of bare concrete was laid out lengthwise, close to the sidewall, containing a small pool, a garden bench, and a dining counter on the veranda.

同样的解决方案也适用于房子的后面,我们试图在现有的玻璃屋顶下的区域添加新的元素,使其更具功能性。除了混凝土长椅的支撑外,增加的酒吧柜台和花园使这里成为一个值得停留的地方。

The same solution was applied to the back of the house, where we sought to add new elements to the area under the existing glass roof to make it more functional. Apart from the concrete bench-support, the added bar counter and garden made this a place to stay.
