MORABEZA别墅，哥斯达黎加 / OsArq

Morabeza别墅位于Playa Tamarindo的南端，坐落在哥斯达黎加的瓜纳卡斯特省。该地区属于干旱气候，一年中三分之一的时间都受明显干旱气候的持续影响。该地区的植物群和动物群也都属于干旱热带雨林气候种群。别墅位于海滨地区，向北望去可以观赏到的海滩和山脉的风景。

Villa Morabeza is a holiday home in the South end of Playa Tamarindo located in the province of Guanacaste Costa Rica. This zone of Costa Rica belongs to an arid area of the country affected by a pronounced dry season lasting one third of the year. The flora and fauna belong to the dry tropical rain forest and the region in general suffers from occasional droughts and water scarcity. The house is beachfront and allows for great North facing views to beach and mountains and open areas in and around house property.

建筑师试图将建筑内的各个空间结合成一体，如卧室、浴室和户外露台相互结合，或者将客厅、餐厅、厨房、主要入口和室外露台相结合。这种设计方式可以提高空间的利用，让使用者不会感到空间的狭小拘束，并让内部和外部空间相互融合。

The house seeks to integrate spaces that are commonly individual or isolated as would be a bedroom, bathroom and outdoor terrace, or as would be a living room, dining room, kitchen, main entry and outdoor terrace. In this way it manages to reduce the footprint of the spaces without having them feeling small and it incorporates the exterior space into the interior spaces.

该建筑结构采用非传统的形式，由冷成型钢与预制板材结合形成，这样的构成方式让整个建筑可以非常轻便地安装在结构板上，并在顶部形成平屋顶，相比倾斜的屋顶，在该地区运用平屋顶更能减轻气候和降雨对建筑的影响。

The building system of the house is non-traditional and consists of an integral structure of prefabricated profiles in cold-formed steel, this allowed a very light and flexible construction system mounted on a structural slab that allowed to explore flat roofs in a region where the norm is to mitigate climate and rains with pitched roofing.

▼庭院与内部空间相互渗透，courtyard and interior space interpenetrated with each other

该建筑中运用了各种环境友好型的系统，为了最大限度地减少能源和资源的消耗，如房屋内的水处理系统，从中所得的水可以重新分配灌溉低耗水量的花园。房屋内还安装了含114个光伏电池板的电池网络进行废热发电，并与当地电力公司一起向电网系统供电。 热水是由太阳能电池板的混合系统产生，在太阳辐射低的情况下，则会采用备用GPL气体加热系统。 房屋内的材料使用天然的工业材料，大部分房屋结构都是采用冷成型钢制造，这种钢材成本低廉，可无限回收利用。

The house uses a series of systems to minimize the consumption of energy and resources, including a treatment plant for all the water in the house, which is redistributed underground to irrigate a garden with low water consumption. It also uses a network of 114 photovoltaic panels in a cogeneration and feed to grid power system with the local electric service company. The hot water is a hybrid system of solar panels with backup GPL gas heating system in case of low solar radiation. The materials used in the house are industrial in nature and most of the house is built with cold formed steel that is infinitely recyclable and low cost.

在室内空间中，建筑采用了被动式设计，以此来获得房屋中的交叉通风和自然采光，其中厨房、起居和用餐室组成的社交空间并未安装空调系统，而是利用四面开口形成自然的通风。新建筑技术和工业材料为干燥地区的现代建筑提供了更多可能。

Passive design was used to obtain cross ventilation and natural lighting in all interior spaces where the social space of kitchen-living-dining room is not conditioned and opens to the outside in its four flanks.The new construction technologies and industrial materials opened the possibility of exploring and proposing a reinterpretation of a modern architecture in the dry tropics.
