位于圣米格尔-德阿连德（墨西哥）的Casa Shoemaker是一个建在明显的半干旱斜坡之上的度假屋；这最后一个因素成为项目创造性发展的基础，有助于实现低成本和功能性之间的平衡愿景。我们的目标是利用该地区的场地条件和气候，通过两个不同的体积结构来解决该项目。
Located in San Miguel de Allende (Mexico), Casa Shoemaker is a vacation home built on top of a pronounced semi-arid slope; this last element served as the basis for the creative development of the project and helps to achieve a balanced vision between low cost and functionality. Our objective was to take advantage of the site’s conditions and climate from the region, solving the project by two distinct volumetric structures.
第一个体量作为一个暴露的纯混凝土基础，支撑着结构，另一方面，实现了使用低成本材料的预算目标，以减少未来的维护需求。
The first volume is presented as an exposed pure-concrete foundation that supports the structure and on the other hand, achieves the budget objective of using low-cost materials summed to minimize future maintenance requirements.
在材料方面，该项目是由各种形式的裸露的混凝土组合来定义的，给建筑一个纯粹、优雅和清醒的外观。材料调色板允许颜色和纹理与自然景观、其背景和周围环境相融合。建筑与植被和天空融为一体。未加工的混凝土使我们能够在它的纹理和色调上投射出一种坚实的特征，使住宅合并，但同时也使两层自然地区别和对比起来。
In terms of materials, the project is defined by a combination of exposed concrete represented in various forms, giving the buildings a pure, elegant, and sober appearance. The material palette allows colors and textures to merge with the natural landscape, its context, and surroundings. The construction becomes one with the vegetation and the sky. Raw concrete allowed us to project on its textures and shades imposing a solid character to the home, merging but at the same time differentiating and contrasting both levels naturally.
入口位于上层。用户会被一个面向南方的框架式视觉终点所吸引；这个框架在设计和结构上被优先考虑，以便在你进入建筑时给人以欢迎的感觉。在内部，原始材料和中性色调永久地将更多的能见度留给了外部景观和自然环境。这个项目的主要目标之一是通过创造一个对其家庭起源的致敬和联系，给这个家庭一种归属感。由Don Shoemaker设计的艺术元素和家具与建筑的背景完美地融合在一起，其中Señal©工厂的吊椅带着荣誉和自豪脱颖而出。
The entrance is located on the upper floor. The user is received by a framed visual ending point directed to the south; a frame that was prioritized in design and structure to give a welcoming feeling as you enter the building. Inside, the raw materials and its neutral tones are permanently leaving greater visibility to the outside views and its natural surroundings. One of the main objectives of this project was to give the household a sense of belonging by creating a tribute and link to its family origins. The artistic elements and furniture designed by Don Shoemaker blend in perfect harmony with the context of the construction, where the sling chairs by Señal© factory stand out with honor and pride.
该建筑项目对两组楼层之间的功能差异和特点进行了评论。一个区域包括亲密的家庭社交区，而另一个区域则提供娱乐和访客区。主体结构是一个长方形，将主卧室和生活区分开，生活区被复合成自由空间，与客厅、餐厅和厨房相融合。
The architectural project remarks on the functional differences and characteristics between both sets of floors. One area includes the intimate family social area whilst the other provides the recreational and visitor areas. The main structure is a rectangle that separates the main bedroom and the living area that is compound into free space, blended with a living room, dining room, and kitchen.
当我们下移到地下室时，发现了暴露的混凝土基座。一棵优雅的绿树从地下冒出来，产生了色彩和阴影的对比，使这个空间有了特色，并赋予了这棵树在房子里的主角地位；从任何位置和视野都可以看到它。 在底层，有一个灵活的空间，由两条路径连接。一条是螺旋式楼梯，通向一个开放的走廊，连接到客人的卧室和浴室。另一条是混凝土楼梯，从上层结构开始，作为通往中央庭院的交流路径；这个带有悬臂台阶的元素是建筑内最有趣的视觉终点之一。
As we move down to the basement, the exposed concrete base is discovered. From which an elegant green tree emerges from the ground generating a contrast of colors and shadows allowing this space to give character and granting the tree a protagonist position within the house; it may be seen from any position and view. On the lower floor, there is a flexible space joined by two paths. One is a spiral staircase that leads to an open hallway connecting to the guest bedroom and bathroom. The other is presented by a concrete staircase starting in the upper structure and serving as a communication path to the central courtyard; this element with cantilevered steps is one of the most interesting visual ending points inside the building.
临近的水体和一些训练路径产生了不断变化的自然框架景观；这些景观随着时间的推移和季节的变化而温和地服从于阳光的流动。 这是通过水平出现的落地窗来实现的，这些落地窗受到一组用于减少阳光的格子的保护。 这些阻挡元素使窗户可以打开，自然通风，控制室内空间的温度。
A close-by water body and some training tracks generate natural framed landscapes that are in constant change; landscapes gently submitted to the flow of the sunlight as the day passes as well as the season. This is achieved by the floor-to-ceiling windows that appear horizontally, protected by a set of lattices used to reduce sunlight. These blocking elements allow the windows to be open and naturally ventilate the interior spaces controlling the temperature inside the home.
