架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目是一个小格式的房子，工作室类型，这是一个计划的一部分，与其他房屋，将在未来建设。它位于哥斯达黎加马尔帕伊斯山区，是一处具有典型热带干燥森林植被的地产。这所房子的位置不会干扰其他房屋在总体规划中的看法。利用这个位置，现有的树木没有被砍伐，这是有可能利用北太平洋海岸令人惊叹的景观。这个地点的选择是非常小心的，而且具体的一点可以很好地看到日落和其他自然现象：从甲板上，甚至可以在某些月内观察鲸鱼。

Text description provided by the architects. This Project is a house of small format, studio type, which was conceived as part of a plan with other houses that will be built in the future. It is located in the mountains of Malpaís, Costa Rica, in a property with vegetation typical of the tropical dry forest. The house was located in a way that is not going to interfere with the view of other houses that are projected in the master plan. Using this location, the existing trees were not cut and it was possible to take advantage of the amazing view of the north Pacific coast. The selection of the site was done with extreme care, and the specific point has an excellent view of the sunset and other natural phenomena: from the deck, it is even possible, during certain months, to observe whales.

 Floor Plan

这所房子几乎是一间卧室，当百叶窗打开时，它就会消失，并与外部融为一体。高高的窗户，完全打开到甲板，帮助充分利用这种互动与室外空间。这种内外关系随着桥梁的设计而最大化，桥的延伸就像一只手臂，可以触摸房子周围树木的枝条。在游泳池里，可以从上面看到海洋，在同一水平上看到树木，很可能是好奇的猴子找到了通往房子的路。这一设计也受到了所有者对海洋的移情的影响。从一开始就意识到了这一点，项目也反映了这一点。屋顶的形状类似于波涛汹涌的海洋。这个位置，很高，很优越，让我们想起了一艘游艇小屋，它似乎在林冠上航行。外桥几乎就像一个弓形石，指向北方。

The house is almost a bedroom, which disappears and merges with the exterior when the blinds are open. The tall windows that open up completely to the deck, help out to make the most of this interaction with the outdoor space. This relationship between inside and outside was maximized with the design of a bridge, which extends like an arm, and allows to touch the branches of the trees around the house. In the pool, it is possible to see the ocean from above and the trees at the same level, and it’s probable that a curious monkey finds its way to the house. The design was also influenced by the empathy that the owner has with the ocean. This was perceived from the beginning and the project reflects it. The shape of the roof resembles the wavy ocean. The location, high and privileged, reminds us of a yacht cabin that seems to navigate in the forest canopy. And the exterior bridge is almost like a bowsprit, pointing north.

在哥斯达黎加的太平洋北岸设计是一个需要仔细考虑以避免松动的对象。诸如温度、腐蚀、具有大开口以利用视图和太阳的入射的东西需要被分析并结合到设计中。所有这些都提醒我们这些旧房子是如何建造在这个地区的，所有这些元素都被考虑进去了。尽管这是一个当代的设计，但是这些旧房子的本质被保留下来，就像保护内部的要素以及如何在里面保持新鲜的方式一样。然而，传统的屋顶形状被丢弃，并且长的弯曲和直线被投影以保护用于打开视图并避免直接太阳辐射的眼镜。关于本项目中使用的材料，它是一种新材料和传统材料的混合物。

To design in the Pacific north coast of Costa Rica is a subject that needs to be carefully considered to avoid loose ends. Things like the temperature, corrosion, having big openings to take advantage of the views and the incidence of the sun need to be analyzed and incorporated into the design. All of this reminds us how the old houses were built in this area, where all those elements were considered. Even though this is a contemporary design, the essence of those old houses was preserved, like the way to protect the interiors from the elements and how to make it fresh in the inside. However, the traditional roof shapes were discarded and long curved and straight lines were projected to protect the glasses that were used to open up the views and avoid the direct solar radiation. Regarding the materials used in this project, it is a mix of new and traditional materials.

例如在Pergola中，材料组合有助于过滤明亮的光并排斥干燥的季节剧烈的热。对于地板和外部路径，使用天然石材来降低温度。树木的密闭性给房子提供了阴影，并利用气流来提供自然空调的感觉。所使用的柚木和梅里纳木材来自位于施工现场约10公里处的受控种植园。一般而言，大多数使用的材料，如水泥、砌块和其他材料都来自国家制造。有些材料是进口的，就像天然石头一样。

For example in the pergola, the material combination helps out to filter the bright light and repel the dry season intense heat. For the floors and exterior paths, natural stones were used to decrease the temperature. The closeness of the trees provides shadow to the house and the air currents were exploited to provide a sensation of natural air conditioning. The teak and melina wood that was used is from controlled plantations which are located around 10 kilometers of the construction site. In general, the majority of materials that were used, like cement, blocks and others are from national fabrication. There were a minority of materials that were imported, like the natural stone.
