小房子Quinn是Taller ACÁ最小的项目之一，同时也是其最具挑战性的项目之一。这个项目在主屋旁边有一个30平方米的空间，旨在将原来的社区便利店变成一个欢迎朋友和家人的空间。
The Tiny House Quinn is one of Taller ACÁ’s smallest projects and, at the same time, one of its most challenging. With a 30-square meter space adjacent to the main house, this project was designed to transform what used to be a neighborhood convenience store into a welcoming space for friends and family.
我们的前提是通过设计来诠释这个家庭的精神，即他们是优秀的主人，具有不同的文化和对自然的敏感性。同时，我们希望将该结构的历史与现在联系起来，用现代和创新的语言恢复和改造老店，一个坚实的砖砌结构。
Our premise was to interpret, through design, the spirit of the family as people who are excellent hosts, with diverse cultures and sensitivity to nature. At the same time, we wanted to link the history of the structure to the present time, recovering and transforming the old store, a solid brick masonry construction, with a contemporary and innovative language.
建筑方案从现有的结构开始，恢复其原始材料，并通过重新解释门窗，将其变成由当地工匠手工制作的裸露砖块的装饰设计作品，增加独特的细节。
The architectural proposal began from the existing structure, recovering its original materials and adding unique details through the reinterpretation of doors and windows that were transformed into decorative design pieces of exposed brick, handcrafted by local artisans.
第一层有一个卧室/客厅区、小厨房和完整的浴室，分为独立的淋浴区和厕所区，每个空间都有木门，从属于这个家庭的20世纪初的农舍中重新利用，增强了空间。一个奇特的、几乎是雕塑般的元素是圆形的混凝土水槽，它在非常小的空间里衔接并界定了不同区域的功能。
The first level has a bedroom/living room area, kitchenette, and full bathroom, divided into separate shower and toilet areas, with each space enhanced by wooden doors, repurposed from an early 20th-century farmhouse that belonged to the family. A singular, almost sculptural element is the circular cast concrete sink, which articulates and defines the functions of the different areas in the very small space.
整个结构有两层楼高，一个小的金属楼梯从第一层通向第二层，那里的空间形成了一个小的生活区和凉亭，是喝咖啡和分享最佳谈话的理想场所。
The entire structure is two stories tall, and a small metal staircase leads from the first to the second level, where the space forms a small living area and gazebo, ideal for having coffee and sharing the best conversations.
这第二层建有金属结构和一个全景窗，将作品投射到附近，成为一个城市参考空间。它还通向一座桥，通往壮观的露台，也就是主屋的屋顶。该露台提供了附近环境和周围城市的意外的美丽视角。它是一个理想的空间，可以观鸟、看花园、观察壮观的日出和日落。
This second level was built with a metallic structure and a panoramic window that projects the work towards the neighborhood, becoming an urban reference space. It also opens to a bridge to a spectacular terrace, which is the roof of the main house. The terrace provides unexpectedly beautiful perspectives of the nearby environment and the surrounding city. It is an ideal space for bird-watching, garden views, and observing spectacular sunrises and sunsets.
作品的简单性和构思与施工的细致性使它成为家人和朋友的聚会场所，正如业主所描述的，这个小房子现在是他们的 “快乐之地”。
The simplicity of the work and the meticulousness of its conceptualization and construction have made it a gathering place for family and friends and, as the owners describe it, this small house is now their “Happy Place”.
