ERNESTO DO CANTO住宅区丨葡萄牙蓬塔德尔加达丨BOX arquitectos

在高度整合的城市语境中，建筑占据了两块相对的地块，它们分别毗邻不同的城市边缘界面。设计充分利用这两条界面之间显著的高差，将建筑的一部分抬升，从而在其下方形成一个具有品质的“空隙”空间。该空间在视觉与行为层面上实现了连续性——一种城市的渗透性，使人能够清晰地理解这一城市片段中的建成结构。由此，设计引入了穿越街区的可能性，拓展了人们对城市空间的感知——城市空间变得更为流动，并在人的尺度与城市尺度之间进行有意识的调解，从而有助于对城市形成一种更为理性的理解。

Within a consolidated urban context, the building occupies two opposing plots that border distinct marginal planes. By taking advantage of the significant difference in elevation between these planes, part of the building is elevated, creating a qualified void beneath it. This space allows for visual and physical continuity—an urban permeability that enables a clear understanding of the built fabric within this section of the city. Consequently, the design invites the possibility of crossing the block, offering an expanded perception of urban space—now fluid, and deliberately mediating between the human and urban scales—thus contributing to a logical comprehension of the city.

遵循由项目概念框架所建构的城市生成原则，地块内部未建成的空间被用于容纳一处半公共／半私密的花园。这一空间策略在保持城市固有活力的同时，为个体提供了片刻的安静与隔离。建筑体量之间呈现出一种典型于街区尺度的文化互动关系，彼此保持着持续的对话与交流。这些体量通过一处半地下停车空间相互连接，该停车空间得益于自然通风，在城市生态层面赋予整体建筑单元以环境可持续的特质。

Following the generative principle of urban design structured by the project’s conceptual framework, the unbuilt interior space of the plot accommodates a public/private garden. This spatial strategy provides moments of quiet isolation for the individual, while remaining embedded within the city’s inherent dynamism. The architectural volumes are characterized by a cultural interplay typical of neighborhood-scale dynamics, maintaining a constant dialogue and interaction among themselves. These volumes are connected by a semi-underground parking structure that benefits from natural ventilation, endowing the built unit with environmentally sustainable qualities from the standpoint of urban ecology.

Ernesto do Canto项目整体呈现出一种向内的空间取向，通过内部花园、居住与交通空间的设置，体现了一种超越私人住宅边界、对“外部空间的居住”的理解。建筑与城市边缘界面之间经过精心界定的阈值关系，使项目在这一敏感的城市环境中获得了恰当的城市尺度。Ernesto do Canto概念在蓬塔德尔加达 São Pedro 高密度城市肌理中引入了一种有意的空间“减压”，在既有城市结构与一种更新的城市居住方式之间，生成了一种“和谐的扰动”。

Ernesto do Canto is inward-looking. It establishes interior garden spaces and areas for living and circulation, embodying the concept of inhabiting exterior space beyond the limits of the private dwelling. The carefully defined threshold between the building and the marginal plane grants the project an urban dimension appropriate to its delicate urban context. The intentional spatial decompression introduced by the Ernesto do Canto concept within the dense fabric of São Pedro, in Ponta Delgada, generates a “harmonious disruption” between the pre-existing urban fabric and a renewed way of inhabiting the city.

在类型学层面，住宅单元从一居室到五居室不等，有意引入多样化的家庭结构，从而激发对城市、街区以及凝聚型社区发展至关重要的人文互动。建筑在此被视为一种回应城市增长与空间整合中复杂问题的方式。因此，Ernesto do Canto再次确认了居住这一行为的原初本质：在不对城市造成强加的前提下，承载并体现属于城市生活的诸多优势。

Typologically, the residential units—ranging from one to five bedrooms—intentionally diversify family patterns, thereby fostering human dynamics essential to the development of cities, neighborhoods, and cohesive communities. Architecture, in this sense, seeks to address complex issues inherent to urban growth and spatial integration. Thus, Ernesto do Canto reaffirms the primordial essence of dwelling: to embody the advantages of belonging to the city—without imposing upon it.
