架构师提供的文本描述。以公寓为目标的房间，变成了“房子”

Text description provided by the architects. The room that aimed to be an apartment and turned into a “House”

该项目位于波尔图市历史中心的XIXth世纪建筑中。干预的对象是一间36平方米的房间，处于受损状态，面向大楼三楼的前部。这种建筑物的垂直通讯通常位于中间，因此有一个面向前面的房间和一个面向建筑物后面的房间。

The project is located in a XIXth century building in the historical centre of the city of Porto. The object of the intervention was a room of 36m2 in a damaged state, facing towards the front of the third floor of the building. The vertical communication of this kind of building is typically situated in the centre, so that there is a room facing the front and one facing the back of the building.

该方案雄心勃勃，需要36平方米的空间。客户想要用有限的预算建造一套完整的公寓，供短期租用，能够分配4到5人，并拥有尽可能好的隐私。

The programme was ambitious for a 36m2 space. The client wanted to build, with a limited budget, a complete apartment for short term renting, able to allocate 4 to 5 people with the best possible privacy.

该方法的目的是利用一个熟悉和普遍可识别的概念/图像，消除短期租用公寓的临时和非个人特征。

The approach aimed to take away the temporary and impersonal character typical of short term renting apartments by using a familiar and universally recognizable concept/image.

鉴于该项目位于大楼顶层，可向阁楼扩展空间，可获得超过13平方米的可用面积。此外，它增强了强烈、普遍和简单的形象，明确了区域组织的概念和整体战略，使公寓视觉上变成了“房子”。

Given that the project is in the top floor of the building, it was possible to expand the space towards the attic gaining more than 13 m2 of usable area. Moreover, it enhanced the strong, universal and simple image that defined the concept and the whole strategy of areas organization that visually transformed the apartment into a “House”.

用一种现代而大胆的语言，这个空间被分成了两半。一个绿色一个白色。

With a contemporary and willingly bold language, the space was divided in two halves. One green and one white.

在其所有表面（地板、墙壁、天花板）上覆盖相同材质并以相同颜色绘制的绿色侧面是在两层上组织的，并镜像了一个“房屋”的图像。在这一半的内部，我们发现了一个有入口、厨房、浴室和睡眠区的第一层，而在第二层，一个夹层，还有一个可以通过竖梯进入的更多的睡眠区。

The green side, covered with the same material on all of its surfaces (floor, walls, ceiling) and painted in the same colour, is organized on two levels and mirrors the image of a “House”. Inside this half we find a first level with the entrance, the kitchen, the bathroom and the sleeping area, while in the second level, a mezzanine, there is one more sleeping area accessible through a vertical ladder.

白色一侧有一个双高天花板，客厅位于那里，您可以从那里进入一个小阳台，可以俯瞰整个城市的全景。由于这一地区的共同目的以及这部分公寓所使用的语言，我们可以把这部分比喻为露台。在某种意义上，它把你带到“房子”之外，让你感知它的容量。

The white side has a double height ceiling, where the living room is located and from which you can access a small balcony with a panoramic view over the city. Because of the communal purpose of the area and of the language used in this half of the apartment, we can metaphorically think of this part as the patio. In a sense it brings you outside of the “House” and lets you perceive its volumetry.

虽然规模很小，但这一设计满足了方案的功能需要，目的是通过在建筑物三楼拥有房子的形象/概念，创造一种基于惊讶和矛盾感的空间体验。

Although small, this design responds to the functional needs of the programme and aims at creating a spatial experience based on the feeling of surprise and contradiction by having the image/ concept of a House in the 3rd floor of a building.

尽管是一个完全开放的阁楼，绿色清楚地识别了空间组织。此外，天然松木板被用来创建分区，而不破坏现有的视觉关系。

Despite being a completely opened loft, the green colour plainly identifies the space organization. Moreover, natural pine slats are used to create partitions without breaking with the existing visual relation.

房子被完全覆盖在中密度纤维板，保持木材般的纹理后，也被油漆，传达了一种舒适的感觉。

The House was completely covered in MDF panels that maintain a wood-like texture also after being painted, conveying a feeling of coziness.

在起居室，已经存在的“里加”木地板被回收，墙壁和天花板被漆成白色，以最大限度地增加亮度。在厨房里，柜台和墙壁部分的白色“Estemoz”大理石显得格外突出，为这一地区增添了个性。

In the living room, the pre-existing “Riga” wood floor was recovered and the walls and ceiling were painted white to maximize brightness. In the kitchen, the white “Estremoz” marble of the counter and of a part of the wall stands out, adding personality to this area.
