架构师提供的文本描述。在建筑职业生涯中，只有少数几个实例，客户和建筑师的愿景统一为艺术和建筑的完美和完整的表达。我们非常幸运地与一对夫妇合作，他们致力于极简主义的强烈吸引力，要求我们在杜罗设计一座房子，位于杜罗山谷的迷人景色之上。

Text description provided by the architects. There are only a few instances in an architectural career where a client and an architect’s vision unify into an immaculate and complete expression of art and architecture. We were very fortunate to work with a couple who, devoted to the ideals of minimalism’s stark allure, asked us to design a house in the Douro , located on the stunning views over Douro valley .

希望尽可能少地干扰景观的视觉地形，促使人们把房子贴在地面上，找到与周围环境直接相关的立面和屋顶解决方案。“蹲楼”的理念指导着关于体积、位置、职业、外部装束和立面装饰的决定。

The desire to interfere as little as possible with the visual topography of the landscape prompted to attach the house to the ground and find façade and roof solutions with a direct relationship to the surroundings. The idea of a "crouching building" guides the decisions concerning volume, position, occupation, exterior outfit and façade claddings.
