架构师提供的文本描述。尽管它的谦虚，为一个特定的客户设计一所房子，可能是最苛刻和迷人的挑战，对一个建筑师。

Text description provided by the architects. Despite its modesty, designing a house for a specific client is, probably, the most demanding and fascinating challenge for an architect.

这项工作持续了5年，目的之一是为两个兄弟设计两个相似的房子，避免简单的重复和对称。另一种是同时选择一种与白话有关的当代建筑，严格执行(…)。我们认为过度的)城市法规来自这个小的农村城镇。最后，该项目将由这些兄弟经营的当地小公司建造，因此其中一些解决方案既新颖又刺激。

One of the objects of this job, which went on for 5 years, was to design 2 similar houses for 2 brothers, avoiding simple repetition and symmetry. The other one was to opt for an architecture simultaneously contemporary, related to vernacular and which carried out the strict (… and we think that excessive) urban regulations from this small rural towns. Finally, the project would be built by the small local company run by these brothers, so some of the solutions were both new and stimulating.

从一开始，这个项目就被理解为唯一的房子，也是唯一的实体，从外面看，你很难欣赏到两栋房子。

From the beginning, the project was understood as an only house, as an only entity in which, seen from outside, you could hardly appreciate 2 houses.

从外部看，施工不反映垂直层的增加，而反映水平层的增加。由混凝土和天然土石制成的基座或“三明治”支撑着一卷书，它让人想起“房子”的原始、传统和象征性原型，就像集体无意识通常识别出来的那样。顶部是覆盖光滑和白色石灰石从当地的石材采石场。

From outside, the construction does not reflect the addition of vertical stratums, but horizontal ones. A base or “sandwich” made of concrete and natural local stone supports a volume which is reminiscent of the primary, traditional and symbolic archetype of “the house”, just as it is usually identified by the collective unconscious. The top volume is covered with smooth and white limestone from the local stone quarry.

一楼是通过由门廊保护的大地板到天花板的窗户向花园开放的，而顶部的空间是以一种更加孤立的方式被掏空的。这样，我们就产生了一种明显矛盾的东西，但我们认为这也是有效的二分法：底层粗糙的材质与抽象的窗户以及小平顶结合在一起(我们真的很喜欢马塞尔·布劳尔(Marcel Breuer)的那些舒适的美国房子)，而顶部的材料清洁程度越高，窗户越小，屋顶也越小。

The ground floor is opened to the garden by means of big floor-to-ceiling windows protected by porches, whereas the top volume is hollowed out in a more isolated way. This way, we generate an apparently contradictory, but we think that also valid, dichotomy: the rough material nature from the ground floor is combined with abstract windows, as well as with small flat roofs (we really like those comfortable American houses by Marcel Breuer), whereas the greater material cleanness from the top volume is combined with smaller windows and a modest tiled roof.

从底层的空间可以看到花园里的几个封闭点，这要归功于几个元素，它们作为一种望远镜，将自己与顶部的长方形几何图形分开，形成开放的门廊，从里面到外面一半。两层顶楼望着远处的里贝拉·德尔迪耶罗草原。在顶楼，其中一所房子被挖空，以便向南开放一个平坦的屋顶。

The spaces from the ground floor look at several enclosed points from the garden, thanks to several elements that, as a kind of telescopes, separate themselves from the rectangular geometry of the top volume, generating open porches, at the halfway from the inside and the outside. The two top floors look at the distant Ribera del Duero prairies. In the top floor, one of the houses is hollowed out to get a flat roof opened to the south.

在里面，一个木制的楼梯，加上走廊和高高的天花板，横跨客厅和餐厅，把几层楼连接起来，促进了丰富的空间和统一。

Inside, a wooden staircase, together with walkways and high ceilings over the living room and the dining room, link several floors, promoting wealth of space and unity.
