我们面临的挑战是在一片松树和软木橡树的平原上设计一座树屋。在考察了现场后，我们选择了一棵年轻而健康的松树，它位于俯瞰大西洋的高地上。我们认为，这棵松树将成为房子的保护伞，项目将拥抱这棵树。因此，我们很自然地选择了材料–从结构到覆盖物，再到其内部：松树。该项目在白天可以看到地平线上的风景。在晚上，它更倾向于天顶景观，因为除了星星之外，几乎没有其他光源。这样一来，房子在一天中会有不同的体验，并改变自然光的来源。

We were challenged to design a tree house on a plain of pines and cork oaks. After visiting the site, a young and healthy pine was chosen, on a plateau overlooking the Atlantic Ocean. We assumed that the pine would serve as protection for the house and that the project would embrace the tree . Thus, it became natural to chose the material — from the structure to the covering, passing through its interior : pine . The project benefits of a view over the horizon during the day. At night, it favors a zenith view, since there are few other sources of light beyond that of the stars. In this way, the house suggests different experiences throughout the day and change of source of natural light.

外部的原始材料与树皮和粗糙的表达有关。相比之下，由于对其表面处理的选择，同样的材料导致了室内的轻盈和柔软。巢穴的创造存在于房屋立面的姿态中，在外部处理的木材上，以及在内部的净化上。

The raw materiality of the exterior relates to the bark of the trees and rough expression. By contrast and due to the choice in its finish, the same material resulted in a lightweight and soft interior. The creation of a nest is present in the gesture of the elevation of the house, on the wood of handled appearance on the exterior, and on the depuration of the interior.

从一开始，空间体验的简单性就是客户的一个关键要求，使其更能感受到与城市生活方式的距离。在这种情况下，允许这一概念向外部演变是有意义的，通过一个阳台，靠近树梢，可以看到大海，在远处–呼吸的空间，看到和感受自然。

The simplicity of the spatial experience was, from the beginning, a key requirement of the client, making more palpable the distance from an urban way of life. In this way, it made sense to allow the evolution of this concept to the outside, through a balcony, near treetops and with a view of the sea, at a distance — space to breathe, see and feel nature.

树木、空间组织和天顶光的进入，有助于过滤上升的阳光，有利于一个漫长而自然的觉醒。作为补充，阳台使人们能够享受到逐渐向海的日落。

The tree, the spatial organization and the entrance of zenithal light, help to filter the rising sunlight, favoring a long and natural awakening. Complementing, the balcony allows one to enjoy the gradual sunset towards the sea.

一个屏风系统保证了居住者根据需要和喜好获得一定程度的庇护。这个庇护所的浴室提醒它的使用者与自然的关系，从所有使用的水路，通过微风，俯瞰松树林，不影响舒适度。

A system of screens guarantees a certain level of shelter to the inhabitant, according to need and preference. The bathroom of this shelter reminds its user of its relationship with nature, from all circuits of water used, through the breeze, overlooking the pine forest, without compromising comfort.
