项目位于托莱多市的Tajo河边，基地所处区域自1986年起被认定为世界遗产，街道蜿蜒盘旋在陡峭的山地上，周边都是错层式的房屋。这里充满穆德哈尔式建筑、伊斯兰艺术、罗马遗迹以及文艺复兴和巴洛克风格的作品，展现出不同文化对城市建筑的影响。

Situated next to the river Tajo, the city of Toledo, a World Heritage Site since 1986, with its steep winding streets lined with split-level houses, is home to Mudéjar architectural gems, Islamic art, Roman ruins and renaissance and baroque works, reflecting howeach different culture has contributed to the architectural heritage of the city.

Belvedere住宅位于托莱多历史城市中心南侧的山坡上，其所在地呈现了最具特色的城市景象，吸引了从格列柯到安迪沃霍尔等无数艺术家以及不同国家的游客前来，留下了数不清的绘画和摄影作品。设计的主要挑战是如何将当代建筑融合到一片如此重要的历史区域之中，并且在城市中彰显自己的存在。

The Belvedere House is located on the southern slope of Toledo’s historic town centre, in one of the areas seen in one of the mostemblematic views of the city, which is featured in an infinite number of paintings and photographs throughout history, inspiring countless artists from El Greco to Andy Warhol, as well as the world of international tourism. One of the main challenges was how to integrate contemporary architecture into an area with such an important historicaltradition, in a way that meant the end result would also have a big presence in the city.

“…这个项目需要我们在尊重历史文脉和维持当代建筑特征之间找到平衡。“

“…it was a case of striking a balance between respecting the historical context but, at the same time, maintaining the features of a contemporary property.”

项目基地面宽8米，深13米，位于一条蜿蜒陡峭的道路尽头。在地块长边上有一个“露台”，建筑师在此创造了一个假立面，提供优越的视野，并且带来良好的采光和通风。

The project sits on a small plot of land with a façade measuring 8m and depth of 13m. It is accessed from a steep winding street.The property is situated at the end of the street. Inside the plot there is a “patio” on the longitudinal side that allowed us to create afalse façade offering impressive views of the surroundings and giving it optimum lighting and ventilation.
