在过去的十年里，这片土地一直被一辆火车车厢所居住(或占据)。它作为一辆卧铺车工作，最近被一位曾经是英语教师的老妇人调整成了一个固定的居家生活场所，她自2010年以来一直独居。

The land has been inhabited (or occupied) for the last ten years by a train car. It worked as a sleeping wagon, and recently adjusted to something like a stationary home living place by an old lady who used to work as an English teacher, and who lives alone since 2010.

由于陆地很窄，而且在大海前面很少见，火车在对角线上重新定位，寻找海景，但由于陆地本身的条件，没有成功。

Because of the land, since its very narrow, and its rare in front of the sea, the train car was re-located  along its diagonal , seeking a foreshorteningview of the sea , but with no success given the conditions of the land itself.

这一要求是适度的，但意义重大，已被要求在不超过35平方米的空间内扩大居住区域，并将卧室、客厅、浴室和露台相加。因此，我们设计了一种策略，就是建立一张6.2×5.3米的金属平方表，尽量从前面经过车厢下面，并在上面建立一个体积独立的物体，所有这些都是通过内部楼梯连接起来的。

The requirement is modest but significant, it has been asked to extend the zone inhabited and sum a bedroom, living room, bathroom and a terrace in a space of no more than 35 M2. Therefore we design a strategy which consist in building   a metallic squared table of 6.2 x 5.3 meters, as far as it can be from the front, passing under the train car, and set up a volumetrically independent body above it, all interconnected by interior stairs.

我们想到了一种中性的和当代的美学，试图制造-并突出-与火车车厢不同，同时它允许通过对比来保存它的身份和存在。然而，尽管他们的不同，有两个要素从火车车厢的形象，采取了拯救和重新解释它的存在的态度：钢铁和木材。因此，为了实现这一理念，我们设计了一种以钢柱和对角线为基础的结构，作为用木板条和黑色油漆的体积护套的支撑，以突出火车车厢中的红色。

We thought of a neutral and contemporary esthetic, trying to make -and highlight-   a difference with the train car, while it allows to conserve its identity and presence by contrast. However, and despite their difference, there are two elements taken from the image of the train car, in an attitude of rescuing and re-interpreting its preexistence: steel and wood. Thus, in order to achieve this idea, we designed a structure based in pillars and diagonals of steel, as the support of the volume sheathe by wooden slats and painted in black to highlight the red in the train car.
