位于阿尔加维Carvoeiro的苏富比房地产新总部是在一座现有的建筑上，其特点是具有当地和传统的建筑技术和材料。为了挽救和恢复该建筑，并考虑到新的计划，我们决定进行一些内部拆除，因为该建筑没有得到很好的保护。这些拆除，在空间配置层面上，将允许恢复该建筑，并根据当代需求进行必要的调整，主要是在能源效率方面。

The new Sotheby’s real estate headquarters at Carvoeiro, Algarve, is on an existent building characterized by both local and traditional construction technics as well as materials. In order to save and recuperate the building having in mind the new program, we have decided to conduct some internal demolitions as the building was not well preserved. said demolitions, at a spatial configuration level, will allow to recover the building and make the necessary adjustments to the contemporary needs, mainly in terms of energy efficiency.

主立面经过多年的改造，因此我们根据过去的情况重新设计了它。我们还引入了一个檐口，因为它是该地区大多数建筑的传统，与该地区现有的建筑相似。

The main façade had been transformed over the years therefore we have redesigned it according to what was believed to have been in the past. We have also introduced a cornice as it is tradition in most buildings of the region, similar to those existent in the area.

在底层，我们发现公众可以进入一个双倍高度的大厅，其连接楼梯是主要元素，具有雕塑的特点；它旨在使空间更加流畅，以实现更大的流动感和空间感。在上层，在楼梯上方，我们提出了一个天窗，记住了当地的建筑，作为一种实现更高的高度、空间感和特别的兴趣的方式。

On the ground level one finds the public access into a double height hall with a connecting stair as the main element, of sculpture character; it intends to give the space more fluidity in order to achieve greater sense of flow and space. On the upper floor, over the stair, we have proposed a skylight remembering the local constructions, as a way to achieve a higher height, sense of space and particular interest.

在露台上，我们提出了一个新的体量，用与现有建筑相同的材料完成，并具有相同的高度；在这里，人们可以找到一个小厨房，其天窗提供了一个特殊的空间配置。这两个体量，现有的和新的建筑，都是公开不同的，并把修复、维护和巩固现有的墙壁和结构作为其完成的建筑选择，尽可能地选择当地的传统技术和材料。

On the terrace we have proposed a new volume finished with the same materials as the existent building and with the same height; here one can find a small kitchen with a particular spatial configuration given by its skylight. Both volumes, the existent and the new building, are openly different and take as architectonic options for its completion a sense of rehabilitation, maintenance and consolidation of existent walls and structure, being chosen, whenever possible, local and traditional technics and materials. we believe that this way one can establish a coherent relation between the existent and the new construction.
