该项目包括在Arco da Calheta建造两栋单户住宅，距离马德拉岛大西洋海岸几米。在一片主要被香蕉种植占据的土地上，梯田的特点是由玄武岩石块砌成的墙壁，沿着场地的地形结构。它们创造了一种独特的氛围，并确保了周围景观的有利视野。这个地区的特点是人口分散，建筑物建在大小不一的土地上，而这些土地的起源主要是以农业为主。

The project includes the construction of two single-family houses in Arco da Calheta, a few meters from the coast of the Atlantic coast of Madeira Island. In a land mostly occupied by banana cultivation, the terraces, characterized by walls of basalt stone masonry, are structured along the orography of the site. They create a unique atmosphere and ensure a favored view of the surrounding landscape. This area has the particularity of having a dispersed population, with buildings built on plots of land of variable size that in its genesis had a predominantly agricultural vocation.

因此，我们的出发点是希望保持建筑的特色和农村氛围。崎岖不平的地形最终为两座房子的空间提供了合理的解决方案，并通过在住宅的上层建立社交区和在下层建立亲密区来组织功能区。

Thus, we started from the desire to maintain the character and rural atmosphere of the building. The terrain’s rugged topography ended up providing the rationality of the solutions for the spaces of the two houses developed on two levels and the organization of the functional areas, by establishing the social area on the upper floor of the dwellings and the intimate area on the lower floor.

通过拆除现有的石墙和挖掘泥土，在梯田上纵向插入了两个小体。就好像偶尔，虽然从内部连接，但我们把两座房子放在现有的梯田上。一座位于小路边上，另一座位于地块更南边。

Two small bodies inserted longitudinally on the terraces are built by dismantling the existing stone walls and excavating the earth. It is as if on occasion, although connected from the inside, we had placed the two houses on the existing terraces. One is located along the path and another further south of the plot.

这块总面积为600平方米的土地，北面是Fajã do Mar小路，南面是邻近的土地，东面是通往分部的地役权，西面是Nossa Senhora da Vida的步行道。在这条路的前面，为两座房子建立了一个公共停车场。通过停车场和入口门槛之间的连接楼梯可以进入面向道路的房屋，通过地役权进入位于更南边的房屋，以获得现有的份额。

The land with a total area of 600m2 faces the north, the Fajã do Mar path, to the south a neighboring land, to the east the easement to the division and to the west the footpath of Nossa Senhora da Vida. In front of the path, a common parking lot was created for the two houses. Access to the house facing the road is via a connecting stairway between the parking lot and the entrance threshold and access to the house located further south through the easement to the existing share.

这两栋房子被开发为两层。上层体量配置了一个厨房区、一个用餐区和一个生活区，地下部分包含了通往卧室的楼梯，厕所和主楼外的支持区。整个底层的通风是通过一个技术性的混凝土沟渠和在石墙外墙精心撕开的小口子进行的。景观处理试图将自己融入周围的环境，引入新的休闲元素，如游泳池和小型游泳池。

The houses are developed on two floors. The upper volume configures a kitchen area, a dining area and a living area, and the underground part contains the stairs that give access to the bedrooms, the toilet and a support area outside the main building. The entire ground floor is ventilated through a technical concrete ditch and small openings that were carefully torn in the facades of the stone walls. The landscaping treatment seeks to integrate itself into the surroundings, introducing new leisure elements such as the swimming pool and mini-pool.

通过这个地方的材料，试图创造一个更具可塑性和综合的语言，其特点是使用这个地方的颜色和纹理。在内部，也选择了由空间和材料的简单性提供的综合原则。室内性的想法反映在对开口的控制上，战略性地定位为景观。

Through the material of the place, an attempt was made to create a more plastic and synthesized language characterized by the use of the color and texture of the place. Inside, the principle of synthesis offered by spatial and material simplicity is also chosen. The idea of interiority is reflected in the control of openings, strategically located for the landscape.

项目选择产生的被动能源的使用，热泵的可再生能源技术和灌溉系统的用水，都有助于实现环境可持续发展和负责任的能源效率。

The use of passive energies generated by project options, the heat pump’s renewable energy technology and the use of water for the irrigation system contribute to an environmentally sustainable and responsible energy efficiency.
