圣克鲁斯的房子是80年代初的一个项目的一部分，由六栋半独立的房子组成。它的特殊性在于它是角落里的房子，这给了它更大的自主权，并允许我们采取更独立的方法。
House in Santa Cruz is part of a project from the early 80s of six semi-detached houses. It has the particularity of being the corner house which gives it greater autonomy and allowed us to take a more independent approach as well.
该方案改变了客户最初的方案，该方案实际上是忠实于现有建筑的。新的方案是基于一个充满自然光的房子，楼层之间有更大的关系，以及更强的内部/外部连接。
The proposal changed the Client’s initial program, which was practically faithful to the existing building. The new program is based on a house full of natural light, with a greater relation between the floors, as well as a stronger interior/exterior connection.
起居室被打通到厨房，并有一个小厕所来支持。一个笔直的楼梯被创造出来，将所有楼层连接起来，同时也将它们转到外面。楼梯被设计成一个空隙和挖掘/减去之前存在的建筑，以达到露台，以前没有使用。通过这种方式，楼梯变成了一个 “天井”，而之前只有主立面有窗户的卧室，也开始与天窗有了更深的关系。
The living room was opened to the kitchen and have a small toilet to give support. A straight staircase was created to link all floors and also turn them to the outside. The staircase was designed as a void and excavation/subtraction of the pre-existence building in order to reach the terrace, previously unused. By this way, the staircase becomes a “patio” and the bedrooms, that previously had windows only in the main facades, started to have a deeper relation with the skylight.
之前闲置的屋顶，变成了一个大型的开放屋顶，与周围的城市景观产生了直接的视觉关系。
The previously unused roof, became a large open rooftop with direct visual relations to the surrounding urban landscape.
材料，木材和黄铜，是一个直接的选择，因为这些材料与航海和海洋环境有关。通过这种方式，材料可以以一种更加精致和现代的设计方式被重新诠释。
The materials, wood and brass, were an immediate choice, due to the fact that these materials are associated with nautical and maritime environments. In this way, materials could be reinterpreted in a more delicate and contemporary design way.
在外部，该方案旨在突出和划分建筑体量的两种用途：住房方案和街边停车方案。建筑的洞式地下室可以通过使用更重、更深的材料性来识别，作为更私密的上层体量，变得更轻盈、更精致，仿佛漂浮在空中，其中以白色为主。
Outside, the proposal aims to highlight and divide the building volume in two uses: the housing program and the street-level parking program. The hole basement of the building can be recognized by the use of a heavier and darker materiality, as the upper volume, more private, becomes lighter and delicate, as if it floats, in which the white color dominates.
