“这个天井无论从哪个方向看都位于房屋的中心。它就像一个散发热量和空气的炉子。天井里总有一个角落是有阳光照射的，也总有一个角落是阴凉的。透过天井的墙壁，你可以看到白昼时的光线在移动，夜幕神秘地降临。天井象征着一小片天堂，它无法被舍弃，也不会被遗忘”。

——Maria Zambrano, Aurora.

“The patio like this is the center of the house in every way. It is like a stove that distributes heat and air. In it there must always be a corner in the sun, always one in the shade. Through its walls you can see the light of day turning and the night enters with its mystery. The patio is a symbol and a memory of that little piece of paradise that cannot be renounced and remains intact in the soul.”

——Maria Zambrano, Aurora.

项目的起始条件为——一个纵向大于横向的长方形地块，只有一面临街，地块两旁种植着茂盛的槐树，业主的建造要求是不需要完全按照法律法规将建造面积全部使用完，他们希望将工作室与生活空间分隔开来。以上条件说明了本项目中的非建筑区域是设计时一个挑战，这个区域作为了建筑中一个扩展和互补性的功能而存在。因此，设计者在截面上设置了一系列的连续孔洞，这样能够为室内提供扩展空间，使房间朝向天井的方向，免受街道一侧的噪音、交叉通风和地块南侧自然采光的影响。

The starting conditions—a plot that is deeper than it is wide with a single frontage open to the road lined with generous acacia trees, a house that does not need to exhaust the buildable area that the regulations allow and the desire to differentiate the work space from the domestic habitat of its owners—, suggest understanding the non-constructed areas as a matter of project that configure an expanded and complementary house to the interior house. Thus arises a succession of concatenated voids in section capable of providing extension spaces to the interior rooms and of orienting the rooms towards patios, guaranteeing protection against street noise, cross ventilation and the natural lighting that comes from the south located at the bottom of the plot.

房屋的业主是一个一对夫妇和一个小女孩组成的三口之家，这对夫妇需要居家办公的空间，这意味着他们全天在家中停留的时间很长，有专注工作和放松休息两种模式，这需要设计者思考如何设置这两种生活模式之间的转换过渡。因为这栋房子有着公共办公空间和私人生活空间的双重需求，设计者必须清楚这两部分应如何限定。从公共道路进入住宅的第一个区域处设置了一个渐进的入口，随着地面的逐渐抬升，在一个处背光的天井达到最高点，随后便是一个开放的纵向长廊。这个空间的公共属性超过了私密性，从这里能够达到房屋核心处的楼梯，这个楼梯同时也作为一个门槛，业主将通过街道-走廊-天井-长廊的顺序有序地进入居住生活空间或工作空间，这也是有序安排室内空间最符合南方传统住宅的设计方式。

The owners, a couple with a little girl, require spaces to work from home, suggesting prolonged stays throughout the day, between concentration and rest, which encourage thinking about the need for relaxation transits between both activities. The house thus acquires a double reading, between the public and the private, which we must know how to qualify. A first area that is accessed from the public road offers a gradual entrance that, culminating in a first backlit patio, reaches an open longitudinal gallery. This space, even more public than private, from which we reach the staircase of a section around which the house pivots, is a threshold that will allow differentiated entry to the home or to the work spaces demanded through the sequence calle-zaguán-patio- gallery, catalog of intermediate places of the best southern tradition that make up an interior landscape.
