架构师提供的文本描述。我们参与的项目是对所有各方的理解和每个特定环境的奇异性的答案。我们的意图不是寻找预先确定的解决方案，所以这个房子的想法来自于愿望、经验和客户的生活方式。

Text description provided by the architects. The projects in which we get involved come as an answer to the understanding of all parties and to the singularities of each particular environment. Our intention is not to look for predetermined solutions, so the ideas for this house are born from wishes, experiences and the clients’ ways of living.

当主人还是个小孩的时候，他想要破译旧钟的机制。他对机械的热情驱使他去买摩托车和路虎车。他对一座极具教育意义的、实用的、可拆除的房屋感兴趣(以这些车辆的机械原理来理解这些碎片)。无论其制造如何，建设性的解决办法都必须是可见的。当我们了解到与金属的直接联系时，就出现了住在集装箱房里的想法和愿望。使用这种材料的主要原因之一是节能。这些物体在它们的生命周期之后就变成了废物(世界上有太多的东西，它变成了一个问题)。在改变它们的功能和使它们适合居住时，我们不仅给它们一个新的用途，而且我们也在以一种干净的方式进行建设。设计明智，我们努力简化，只使用必要的部分。

When the owner was a little kid, he wanted to decipher the mechanisms of old clocks. His passion for mechanics drove him into motorbikes and Land Rover cars. He was interested in a very didactic, utilitarian and dismantable house (in the understanding of the pieces in the manner of the mechanics of these vehicles). Constructive solutions had to be visible, no matter their manufacture. When we understood this direct connection to metal, the idea and the desire to live in a container house appeared. One of the main reasons to experiment with this material was the energy saving. These objects become waste after their life cycle (there are so many in the world that it becomes a problem). When changing their function and making them habitable, not only are we giving them a new use but we are also building in a clean manner. Design wise we worked towards simplification using only the necessary pieces.

7个20英尺的集装箱和1个40英尺的集装箱后来从瓜亚基尔抵达La Morita(Tumbaco)。这些单元应该有助于组装一个独特的住房，位于一个大的绿色，相当平坦的地区，与城市的普通噪音断开。

Seven 20 feet containers and one 40 feet container arrived, later, to La Morita (Tumbaco) from Guayaquil. These units should help assemble a unique housing, located in a big green, fairly flat area and disconnected from the city’s mundane noise.

开端

The beginning

容器是不完美的。他们把他们所有的伤疤作为遗产留在他们的登记和使用的历史上。这些物品被认为是房屋的补充空间：储藏室、浴室、壁橱和厨房。它们基本上是在它们的自然状态下使用的。正是在这一点上，我们考虑不改变它们原来的结构，如果这样做，我们就找出进行干预的负责任的理由。通过这样做，改造是战略性的，并与照明、空气流通以及外部和内部空间之间的连接联系在一起。

Containers are imperfect. They keep all their scars as a legacy to their dent register and history of uses. These objects were conceived as the complementary spaces of the house: storage rooms, bathrooms, closets and kitchen. They are basically used in their natural state. It was at this point that we considered to not change their original structure and in case of doing so, finding the responsible justification to intervene. By doing so, modifications were strategic and linked to lighting, air circulation and connection between exterior and interior spaces.

为了展示材料的本质，工厂的油漆被移除到外部(可见的金属)，而中性和卫生的性质在白色的指导下保持在内部。地板上的工程将在稍后完成，保留原木。

With the intention of showing the essence of the material, factory paint was removed to the exterior (visible metal), whilst a neutral and sanitary nature guided by the colour white was kept at the interior. Works on the floor would be done later, keeping its original wood.

过程

The process

规划了四个建筑阶段：

Four building phases were planned:

第一种是与平台的熔化有关，一些矩形的抛光混凝土基座，以小功能污渍的方式在地形图上战略性地布置和组织起来。由于陆地纵向割裂的水平略有变化，平台从最高的山脊越小越突出，在视线中变成了一个小而模糊的岛屿。

The first one related to the melting of the platforms, some rectangular basis of polished concrete, strategically laid out and organized along the topography in the manner of small functional stains. Due to a slight variation in the levels of the land’s longitudinal cut, platforms outstand as less as possible from the highest ridge, turning into small blurry island in sight.

第二阶段是用机械起重机将集装箱装配、对齐和系泊到混凝土平台上。在任何情况下，容器都是支撑在混凝土上，稍微飞向外部，提供平衡感和重量控制。这些碎片彼此分开，目的是创造和划定宜居空间，同时构成房屋的脊椎骨，在此基础上安置屋顶。

The second phase was the assembly, alignment and moorings of the containers to the concrete platforms with a mechanical crane. In all cases, containers are supported on top of the concrete, slightly flying towards the exterior, offering a sense of balance and weight control. These pieces are set apart from each other with the intention of creating and delimiting habitable spaces and at the same time constitute the vertebral column of the house on which the roofs are settled.

第三阶段涉及金属梁系统的定位和焊接。这些横梁从一个集装箱交叉到另一个集装箱，有助于加固混凝土瓷砖。

The third phase relates to the positioning and soldering of the metallic beams system. These beams cross from container to container and help in the reinforcement of the concrete tiles.

最后，第四阶段是降低屋顶上的电缆和梁系统，这有助于形成以木材为主要材料的卧室。

Lastly, the fourth phase consisted on lowering a system of cables and beams from the roof which helps to give form to the bedrooms, where wood is the main material.

房子与外部(绿色区域和山体)保持着很强的联系，容器之间的所有空间都是一种缺乏材料的地方，唯一值得注意的元素是带有玻璃的金属框架。

The house keeps a very strong connection with the exterior (green area and mountain) and all spaces in between containers are a sort of lack of material where the only noticeable elements are the metallic frames with the glass.

设计了三个机械系统来改变空间的使用，一部通往二楼的手动电梯，卧室里可操作的百叶窗，主浴室的一层灵活的地板，折叠和展开，以发现一个浴缸。所有这些解决方案就像一个游戏，允许用户成为专门为他们设计的架构风格的一部分。

Three mechanical systems were designed to transform the use of spaces, a manual elevator to go up to the second floor, operable shutters placed in the bedrooms and a flexible floor in the master bathroom which folds and unfolds to discover a bathtub. All these solutions are like a game that allows the user to be a part of a style of architecture thought specifically for them.
