Tobi住宅（Casa Tobi）丨墨西哥瓦哈卡丨Espacio 18 Arquitectura

在他的著作中，藤本壮介描绘了一个未来图景：建筑最初的原则是推动可居住空间的演化——一种随着时间与用途不断演变的空间形态，其尺度与形式根植于日常生活之中。

In his writings, Sou Fujimoto envisions a future where the primitive principles of architecture enable the evolution of habitable space—one that adapts according to its use and time, where scale and form are reflected in everyday life.

Casa Tobi项目位于瓦哈卡州海岸的一处陡峭斜坡上，地势向西倾斜，可远眺浩瀚太平洋的海浪与壮丽的落日。项目以朴素的建筑理念为出发点，通过一种富有趣味的建筑语言，重新诠释了在地的传统元素，空间在流动中逐步展开，充满探索与惊喜。

Casa Tobi is a project located on the coast of Oaxaca, on a steeply sloped site that descends westward, offering breathtaking views of the sunset and the crashing waves of the Pacific. With a narrative and reflection rooted in simple architectural principles, Casa Tobi reinterprets traditional elements of its context through a playful architectural approach, where spaces are revealed fluidly and seek to surprise.

主要入口位于上层，露台与倒影水池在此迎接来客。水面不仅映照出周围的丛林和夕阳的红晕，还为下方的社交空间带来清凉气息，营造出一种宁静与沉思的氛围，成为人与建筑、自然之间感官体验的起点。

The main entrance is located on the upper level, where a terrace and a reflecting pool welcome visitors. This water feature not only mirrors the surrounding jungle and the reddish hues of the sunset but also brings freshness to the social spaces on the lower level. Additionally, it creates an atmosphere of peace and contemplation, becoming the starting point of a sensory experience that deeply connects nature and architecture.

从露台往下，通道逐渐收窄，仿佛引导人步入洞穴的庇护之中。小径尽头，空间豁然开朗，进入一个挑高两层的社交区域，巨大的开口框出山峦与大海的壮美景色。该层设有书房、厨房、餐厅、客厅、泳池与火塘，空间布局鼓励交流与共享，既贴近自然，又具备灵活性，满足多种使用场景。建筑顺应地形的自然坡度，以阶梯式布局融入地貌，使每一处空间都能尽览周围美景。

Descending from the terrace, the walkway compresses around you, as if leading you into the shelter of a cave. At the end of the path, the space suddenly expands into a double-height social area, where large openings frame breathtaking views of the hills and the sea. This level houses the study, kitchen, dining area, living room, pool, and fire pit—spaces designed to foster togetherness and enjoyment of the surroundings while remaining adaptable to different uses. The project follows the site’s natural slope with a stepped design that seamlessly integrates with the topography, maximizing the views from every space.

最低层为卧室区域，视线与树梢相平，形成内外之间亲密的视觉与感官联系。室内使用的土色材料呼应落日余晖的温暖色调，也隐喻螃蟹的壳，增强了建筑在普埃布拉埃斯孔迪多干旱景观中的视觉融入感。散布于住宅各处的水体元素，则令人联想到Hierve el Agua著名的石化瀑布。

The lowest level accommodates the bedrooms, where the views blend with the treetops, creating an intimate connection between the interior and the outdoors. The earth-toned materials used in the design evoke the warm colors of the sunset and subtly reference the shell of a crab, reinforcing its visual integration with the arid landscape of Puerto Escondido. The water elements scattered throughout the house are reminiscent of the petrified waterfalls of Hierve el Agua.

Tobi住宅如同一只从岩石中探出的甲壳动物，渴望看见落日。这也是一个家庭倾注努力与热爱的梦想实践，它展示了尊重环境与文化语境如何引导出一种有意识的旅游方式。这里是一个用于分享、欣赏与沉思的空间，在这里，建筑与自然和谐共生。

Casa Tobi is a crustacean emerging from the rocks, eager to see the sunset. It is also the dream of a family brought to life through effort and love for the project. It stands as an example of how respect for context can lead to conscious tourism. Casa Tobi is a space for sharing, enjoying, and reflecting—where architecture and nature exist in perfect harmony.
