墨西哥諾卡爾潘　加納達之家

The project is located on the northwestern mountain chain that surrounds Mexico City. Here, on the edge of a glen that marks the limit of the urban sprawl, lays our plot. This plot is steep and narrow, being 12 meters wide, 40 meters deep and with a difference of 13 meters between the lowest and the highest points of the terrain's topography. The construction is developed downwards, taking advantage of the natural slope of the terrain, so that there is only one level above the street and two below.

該案坐落於墨西哥西北部山脈裡，一處緊鄰城市擴張邊緣的峽谷地帶。基地環境陡峭且狹窄，寬度12公尺、深度40公尺，地形最低點和最高點甚至相差13公尺，因此建築順勢善用既有坡度向下發展，讓三層樓建築的負兩層位於地下，僅保留最上方的地面層面向人行街道。

On the level above the sidewalk there are the bedrooms, bathrooms, dressing rooms and TV room. The first level below the sidewalk is the ground floor, which houses the public area as well as the kitchen. Going down one more level, on the natural terrain below the living room, a central patio was built that hosts an open-air kitchen and a semi-covered pool.To cover ourselves from the neighbors we decided to build a pair of service and circulation stripes on the lateral sides of the plot. These stripes run along the natural slope on the terrain supporting the main volumes which hang in between the stripes, floating above the natural slope. These white volumes contain the main spaces of the house and open from side to side towards the ravine and the interior patios that articulate the volume-void sequence of the house. We tried to conceive the house as a series of three-dimensional spaces that are articulated in the three levels, with different heights and position according to their hierarchy and use.

綜觀整體布局，地面層主要配置臥室、衛浴、更衣室和家庭劇院；地下一樓層包含公共區域及廚房；地下二樓層則是天井中庭，其中包含一處露天廚房和泳池。為了遮擋鄰居視線，設計團隊於基地側面建造一條內部通道，該通道順著既有地形發展，同時支撐結構量體，使建築彷彿漂浮基地之上；而這些量體包含主要空間，讓人可從側面觀望峽谷或面向開放的內部庭院，可說是庭院串聯起整體空間序列。簡言之，設計團隊將住宅構思為一系列的三維空間，讓空間在三個樓層中相互銜接，並根據各自層次和用途產生不同高度和配置。

Our own interpretation of Adolf Loos' idea of the Raumplan. The materiality of the house is minimal: a natural gray cement plaster on the service stripes and white stucco for the main volumes. Polished concrete on the floors and black paving stones on the courtyard. This monochromatic palette enhances the natural colors of the vegetation and the constant changes contrast between light and shadows through the day.

此外，設計團隊重新詮釋奧地利建築師阿道夫．路斯（Adolf Loos）的設計理念，同樣選用簡約材質，例如過道採用天然石膏抹灰、主要量體用白漆粉刷，地坪鋪設拋光混凝土，庭院則統一為黑色鋪路石。該案透過上述種種單色調的材料搭配，巧妙突顯色彩豐富的植栽及不斷變化的光影。
