穴居 & 墨西哥住宅 / COTAPAREDES Arquitectos

认识一个建筑师最好的方式也许就是通过其作品。一件真诚的作品会提供解释，卸下伪装的面具，如镜子一般映射出真实的自我。岩洞住宅正是这样的。它的某些特质透露了我的内心。如洞穴一般的幽闭暗示着某种想要逃避这个世界的冲动，而其间隐现的缝隙则透露出矛盾的信息——也许我并不希望与这个世界远离，正如这些缝隙一样，它显示了人性中无法泯灭的特质，那些对于被理解和被爱的渴望。

The best way to get to know an architect is to know their projects, they speak for us, unmask us when the work is honest, they exist as a mirror of who we are. There is something behind the cave that speaks of who I am, that form of an enclosed cube that seeks to be hidden from the world, while showing openings that exhibit a contradiction, perhaps I do not want to remain apart from the world, as a proof these narrow cracks show a characteristic from mankind, The longing of being known and loved.

项目位于墨西哥西部的瓜达拉哈拉城，在一片高墙林立的私人住宅中间。这些高墙正是墨西哥城市治安不断恶化的结果。在喧闹的城市中寻求安宁的庇护所的愿望催生了这些自我隔绝的建筑。正因为如此，对于私密性的考量被放在了本项目的首要位置，它的实现来自于对光线和空间流动性的仔细设计。

The land is located within the metropolitan area of Guadalajara, in one of many private condominiums delimited by large walls, as a result of increased insecurity in Mexico. It is this duality among a chaotic city and the search for isolation and shelter, what generates Introspective Architecture. An Architecture that seeks to give a fundamental importance to the user’s privacy, generating an atmosphere that combines the correct management of light and the fluidity of spaces.

客户的想法也被放在了重要的位置：在长长的功能需求表中，一个重要空间渐渐显现出来——位于地下室的多功能厅。它将作为家庭成员们聚在一起度过许多有意义的时光的重要场所。我们想到可以引入一个双层通高的露台，以保证它可以得到充足的自然光和良好的通风。这也给了我们一个绝佳的借口可以在房子中间种下一颗树，它将给空间带来独特的品质。

The project was born from listening the client’s needs: within the list of dependencies, a space seemed fundamental, a multipurpose room located on the basement was needed where the client´s family would spend a lot of quality time. We thought of ​​introducing a double height patio that would provide natural lighting and ventilation to the basement. This gave us the perfect excuse to plant a tree that would bring character to the space.

▼房间里的树，the tree in the house

这棵树枝叶扶苏，舒展到四周的开阔中，一直延伸到二层。这个开阔的空间似乎变成了一个连接器，在这里，餐厅和上下两层的入口在视觉上发生着联系，却无法触及。

On the ground floor, the crown of the tree rises, filling the void generated by the double heights, extending its branches throughout the surrounding spaces. This void acts as an articulator, causing an indirect spatial relationship between the entrance on both levels and the dining room, the spaces can be seen but not touched.

当你进入这栋建筑，无论从地下室或是从一层的台阶，都会首先看到这棵树，它仿佛是一个主人，正在张臂迎接你的到来。

When you enter the house, whether by the basement or the ground floor, the tree welcomes you, as a host who opens its arms to salute you.

三层是儿童房。带有硬质扶手的楼梯给空间带来些许雕塑感。从这里可以通往另一个双层通高的空间，最后抵达带有露台的主卧。值得一提的是东面同样设置了窗户，以有利于热气的迅速排出。

On the second level where the rooms of the children are located. A staircase with a solid handrail brings a sculptural approach to the space, which in turn let us discover another double height that relates with the last level of the house where the main room is illuminated through a patio. A window that captures the light of the east, lets the warm air of the house escape.

餐厅位于建筑后部，双层通高，一侧与地下室的露台相通，仅用栏杆隔开。所以实际上这是一个被隔开的三层高的空间。我们也希望将它作为一个悬念留给参观者来发掘。餐厅和地下室的南面都是大窗户，充沛的自然光线充盈于室内。

Oriented towards the back of the plot the dining room is located on a space with a double height, it communicates with the void of the patio on the basement, and generates a segmented triple height that causes astonishment to the viewer once it is discovered. Facing south, a large window bathes in light the space of both concatenated double heights.

站在街道外望向建筑，它形似一个坐落于岩石基础上的封闭立方体，仅有些许缝隙暗示着室内空间的存在，吸引着人们想要进去一探究竟。

The outer form: a cube that sits on a stone base, seeks to be as closed as possible but opening the grooves necessary to provoke in the viewer an interest in knowing what goes on inside.
