人们沿着一条直线走进圣栎树林——它们无视稳定性的规则，以一种难以置信的姿态伸展。

项目坐落在阿连特茹省常见的、位于平缓山地上的农业建筑群中，其主体建筑是一座木制的住宅，是以所谓的“标准方法”建造，但在与地形的融合方面存在一些问题。

One arrives along a straight line, in amongst holm cork trees that defy all rules of stability, extending their arms into impossible cantilevers. This is a monte alentejano and buildings emerge from this hill. These are recent buildings, and all of them of them built by the owner. The main building is in timber. Of so-called standard construction, which finds it somewhat difficult in adapting to the topography.

业主和家人在这里居住了一段时间，收获了愉悦的体验，因而决定扩大主客厅的面积，同时增加一间卧室，以便于长时间地居住。

Happy with the experience of living in a wooden house, the now larger family intend to enlarge the main living room and add a bedroom, so as to create the necessary conditions to live here permanently.

在试图增加新空间和新体量的时候，仅仅依靠“复制”和“粘贴”是不够的，而是应当重新进行组织和修正。房屋在业主的呵护下保持着良好的状态，因此在增加体量的过程中需要对既有的结构予以充分的尊重，同时不干扰它的运作——在施工期间，业主仍将在这里居住。

When one begins to alter what’s existing, little by little, it becomes evident that it is not enough to juxtapose or paste in new areas, new volumes. It is necessary re-organize and make corrections. It soon became clear that in order to be the respectful to the – well looked after by the owners – existing fabric, would oblige that the addition of new volumes to the existing would have to be in a way that would allow for the existing to speak, as with the construction, because the house would continue to be in use during the building period.
