特波兹特兰，是一个坐落在岩石悬崖之间的小镇，位于墨西哥城的南部，距离这个充满活力的大都市50公里。凭借其保存完好的历史中心和荒凉的乡村，特波兹特兰是一个充满传奇和深厚文化根基的小镇，几十年来一直受到作家、诗人、艺术家和音乐家的赞赏，使其成为他们的故乡或周末度假胜地。休息室位于这个令人难以置信的环境中，被惊人的景观所包围，是一个更大的项目中的第一座建筑，该项目还包括一系列不同大小和设计的平房，可以按年、按月或按天出租。休息室被设定为一个在自然中休闲的中央公共空间，位于一个令人难以置信的草坪的周边；项目的特异性依赖于使人们能够体验精心修剪的草坪，同时促进人们体验存在于这个中央空间边界的野生自然。该项目是内部和外部之间的协商，是对一个介于两者之间的条件的构建，一个可居住的门槛，它成为项目的主要空间；开放空间和内容空间之间的界限合并，产生一个单一的建筑实体。

Tepoztlan, is a small town nestled between rocky cliffs located to the south of Mexico City, 50 kilometers away from the vibrant metropolis. With its well preserved historic center and wild countryside, Tepoztlan is a town of legends and deep cultural roots that has been appreciated by writers, poets, artists and musicians over many decades, turning it into their hometown or weekend retreat. Located in this incredible context and surrounded by an astonishing landscape, the Lounge is the first building completed of a larger project that also includes a series of bungalows of different sizes and designs, which can be rented by years, months or days. The lounge is set to be a central communal space for leisure in nature, and is located in the perimeter of an incredible lawn; the idiosyncrasy of the project relies on enabling the experience of the carefully manicured lawn while promoting the experience of the wild nature existing in the boundaries of this central space. The project is a negotiation between interior and exterior, a construction of an in-between condition, an inhabitable threshold, which becomes the main space of the project; the limits between the open and the content space merge to produce a single architectural entity.

设计建立了三个独立的生活区，根据计划中的3个活动而设计；每一个都是由其用途定义的固定空间，但也由一个非常清晰和简单的建筑容器定义：第一个是一个带有小厨房的开放式酒吧，以及几个洗手间和更衣室；第二个是一个儿童游戏区，当晚上气温下降时也可以作为一个阅读室；最后最大的容器是生活区，一个封闭的、有温度的、舒适的空间，用于谈话、电视等。 但是，正是因为希望在这三个独立的区域之间提供连续性，该项目才被赋予了力量，变得有意义；一个连续的空间，与自然完全接触，但又被保护起来，不受自然环境的影响，这不仅是为了扩大封闭的用途，也是为了允许新的活动出现。

The design establishes three separate living quarters designed in accordance to the 3 activities planned; each of them is a set space defined by its use, but also by a very clear and simple architectural container: the first holds an open bar with a kitchenette, together with a couple of restrooms and dressing rooms; the second is a play area for children that can also be used as a reading room when temperatures drop at night; and finally the largest container is the living area, an enclosed, tempered and comfortable space for conversation, TV, etcetera. But it is the desire to give continuity between these three separate areas where the project is empowered and becomes meaningful; a continuous space, in full contact with the nature but protected from its inclemency is set up not only to expand the enclosed uses, but also to allow new activities to arise.

正是通过对这个中心空间的定义，通过对其形状的定义，定义了相邻的院子；这些院子对项目来说是至关重要的，就像它的建筑结构一样，并允许作为一个整体构建单一的空间体验。同时，三个建筑容器通过它们的使用和空间给中央空间带来了连续性，相邻的天井使它有了资格，同时为开放空间提供了多样性和特异性。游泳池的设计也是这种干预的一部分，并响应了空间特征化的愿望；它的正式化必然与休息室的布局相呼应，同时在其性质上融入了使用水的多种方式的可能性，并在上面跳动。

And it is through the definition of this central space, through the definition of its shape, that the contiguous courtyards are defined; those are as essential to the project as it is the built architecture, and allows constructing as a whole, single spatial experience. At the same time that the three built containers give continuity to the central space by mans of their use and space, the adjacent patios qualify it, while providing diversity and idiosyncrasy to open space. The design of the swimming pool is part of this same intervention, and responds to the desire to characterize the spaces; its formalization necessarily resonates the layout of the lounge, while incorporating to its nature the possibility of a multiplicity of ways of using water, and plunging on it.

该建筑位于一个基座上，重视山脉的景观。该建筑希望尊重现有的环境，并理解植被和露天生活才是真正的主角。两棵令人印象深刻的树木被纳入休息室的布局中，仿佛它们是项目本身的一部分。Tepoztlan休息室是用混凝土建造的，这不仅是因为在墨西哥，混凝土是一种廉价的劳动密集型材料，可以最大限度地减少其维护，而且也是为了暴露其结构的简单性和对惊人的大自然的中立性。

The building is located as a plinth valuing the views of the mountains. The building wants to be respectful to the existing context, and understands that the vegetation and life at open air are the real protagonist. Two impressive trees that are in place are incorporated within the layout of the lounge, as if they were part of the program itself. The Tepoztlan Lounge is constructed in concrete not just for being a inexpensive and labor intensive material in Mexico and to minimize its maintenance, but also to expose its structural simplicity and neutrality towards the astonishing nature.
