Plúmula (The Plumule)是植物的最初过程，是一个绿色的缩影，茎、叶和花都源于此。这个项目是一个工作室，一个房子，一个聚会场所，一个避难所，也是弗兰波扬树的家。
Plúmula (The Plumule) is the initial process of the plants, a green miniature from which the stem, the leaves, and the flowers originate… The project is a workshop, a house, a meeting place, a refuge, and the home of a Flamboyán tree.
艾米，除其他许多事情外，和她的母亲伊冯娜一样，是一位塑料艺术家。她在瓦哈卡市北部获得了一栋小房子（更准确地说，是半栋），这栋房子已经建了几十年，有各种结构问题。她的要求是保留某些原有的土坯墙，并通过一个结构来创造休闲空间，一个陶瓷车间和一个卧室。
Amy, among many other things, is a plastic artist like her mother Ivonne, she acquired a small house (half a house to be more precise) in the northern part of the City of Oaxaca, which had been built for several decades and had various structural problems. The request was to preserve certain pre-existing adobe walls and intervene through a structure to create leisure spaces, a ceramic workshop, and a bedroom.
通过一个轻钢结构，我们成功地加强了建筑并扩大了空间，而通过滑动的窗户，我们失去了项目的内部和外部的关系。Flamboyán树始终是主角，所有的视觉效果都集中在对它的沉思。
Through a light steel structure, we managed to reinforce the construction and expand the spaces, whereas through sliding windows we lose the interior-exterior relationship of the project. The Flamboyán tree is always the protagonist, all the visuals focus on its contemplation.
钢材、土坯、松木和红砖是我们为房子选择的材料，它们为当地工人所熟知，并且在项目的预算中可以获得。这些材料也产生了温暖的空间，并以某种单色在视觉上扩大了内部空间。
Steel, adobe, pine wood, and red brick are the materials we chose for the house, they are known by the local workers and accessible to the budget allocated for the project. These materials also generate warm spaces and with a certain monochrome visually expand the interior.
这座房子对环境做出了非常被动的反应，它有一个太阳能加热器，一个通过过滤器收集雨水的系统，LED照明，以及土坯墙，在冬天保持温暖，在城市的持续高温下保持凉爽。
The house responds very passively to the context, it has a solar heater, a rainwater harvesting system through filters, LED lighting, and adobe walls that keep you warm in winter and keep you cool in the constant heat of the city.
最后，Plúmula是一个响应环境并融入城市形象的项目，在附近地区受到好评。由于艾米在国外工作，当她访问墨西哥时，这里是她休息的地方。对于居住在这里的人来说，Plúmula是许多伟大事情的开始。
Finally, Plúmula is a project that responds to the context and is integrated into the urban image, being well-received in the neighborhood. It is a place where Amy will spend her days off when she visits Mexico since she works abroad. Plúmula is the beginning of many great things for those who inhabit it.
