“Casa en pendiente “是一个房子，它试图用一个单一的建筑对象来满足其不同用户的多种需求；一个由父母和两个女儿组成的家庭，对独立和隐私的要求很高。
‘Casa en pendiente’ is a house that seeks to use a single architectural object to comply with the multiple needs of its diverse users; a family formed by parents and two daughters with a high requirement of independence and privacy.
作为项目的概念策略，所需空间被定义为高度隔离，以解决他们之间的独立需求。每个空间的位置被定义为根据家庭常规将兼容的空间放在彼此附近。它被定义为所有的空间只能通过一条解决地面陡峭斜坡的路径连接。
As a conceptual strategy for the project, the required spaces were defined to be highly segregated as an answer to solve the independence need between them. The location of each space was defined by placing compatible spaces near to each other according to the family routines. It was defined that all the spaces will be connected only by a path that solves the steep slopes at ground level.
通过隔离空间并将它们放置在地面上，用户可以获得朝向伊拉洛火山和周围景观的绝佳视野；这也使我们能够创建中间花园，让用户在不被看到的情况下看到，并与直接的外部有一个物理或视觉上的联系。
By segregating spaces and placing them at ground level the users gain great views towards the Ilalo volcano and the surrounding landscape; it also allowed us to create intermediate gardens that let the users see without being seen and to have a physical or visual connection with the immediate exterior.
作为一项功能策略，我们决定将该项目分为三个主要层次。
在位于车库和通道旁边的上层，位于客厅、餐厅和社会浴室。附着在这个区块上的花园被定义为在外部举办社会活动；所以它们被解决在与内部空间相同的水平上。由于所有建筑的水平差异和空间隔离，可以从上层建筑的花园进入中间建筑的露台。
As a functional strategy it was decided to divide the project in three main levels:
In the superior level placed next to the garage and the access, the living room, dining room and social bathroom are located. The gardens adhered to this block are defined to host social activities in the exterior; so they are resolved to be at the same level as the interior spaces. Thanks to the level differences of all the complex and spaces segregation, there is an access to the intermediate block terrace from the upper block garden.
中间区块有一个厨房，它被认为是项目的主要空间，因为它是一家人聚在一起做饭、吃饭、工作和共度时光的地方。厨房的外部部分是一个菜园，是与家庭宠物打交道的空间，也是与现有地面自然水平的外部连接。在同一街区，与厨房的水平差最小，父母的卧室位于那里，与附近花园的关系只是视觉上的，强调景观的视觉投射。
The intermediate block receives the kitchen which is thought as the main space of the project as is the place where the family get together for cooking, eating, working and spending time together. The exterior part of the kitchen is meant to be a vegetable garden, space for mingling together with the family pets and as an exterior connector with the natural level of existing ground. At the same block and with a minimum level difference with the kitchen, the parents bedroom is situated, there the relation with the immediate garden is only visual, making emphasis in the landscape visual projections.
最后，在较低的区块，两个女儿的卧室被放置。这两个体量有相同的尺寸，但以不同的方式解决，由他们自己的生活习惯决定。第一个体块优先考虑外部接触，在体块的前部有一个阳台，另一个体块优先考虑存储和自我护理的梳理仪式，因此在体块的后部有一个巨大的更衣室。
Finally, at the lower block, the two daughters’ bedrooms are placed. Both volumes have the same dimension but are resolved in a different way defined by their own living routines. The first one prioritized an exterior contact receiving a balcony in the front part of the block and the other one prioritized the storage and self-care grooming rituals, so a huge dressing room is included in the back part of the block.
连接这三个街区的路径成为一个楼梯走廊，它被复制到屋顶上，以允许进入项目中的所有露台，提供大量的外部空间。
The path that joins those three blocks becomes a stair-corridor that is replicated in its rooftop to allow accessibility to all terraces in the project giving a lot of exterior-spaces.
作为一种结构策略，该项目所有的侧墙（东西向）都作为隐私元素和热质发挥作用。因此，建议采用加强型空心砖墙，设计为两排砖，中间有5厘米的混凝土空隙。在这个系统中，砖的作用是减少5厘米的混凝土墙的倾斜度，同时被用作模板和外部装饰，在某些情况下也被用作内部装饰。
As a structural strategy, all lateral walls of the project (east-west) work as privacy elements and as a thermal mass. By this, reinforced cavity brick walls are proposed, designed in two brick rows with a concrete intermediate cavity of 5 cm. In this system, the role of the brick is to reduce the slenderness that would have a concrete wall of 5 cm, and at the same time is used as a formwork and exterior finish and also as interior in some cases.
