架构师提供的文本描述。皮钦查社区是罗萨里奥的一个低密度地区，正在全面开发和特殊的位置.这个城市遗址的总体规划(以邻里的名字命名)，为了保护它的遗产和城市规模，限制了新建筑的最高高度。因此，根据新的规定，公寓楼的建设受到限制，现有的建筑物开始出租作其他用途。

Text description provided by the architects. Pichincha Neighborhood is a low-density area of Rosario, in full development and exceptionally located. This urban site is under a master plan (named after the neighborhood), which in order to preserve its heritage and urban scale restricts the maximum heights of new buildings. Asa consequence, apartment building construction is restricted and the existing buildings are started to be rented for other uses pursuant to the new regulations.

餐饮场所和夜总会的大量涌现，立即改变了社区的面貌，给它带来了特殊的异质性和不确定的未来。

The proliferation of dining venues and nightclubs immediately changes the neighborhood appearance and gives it a particularly heterogeneous character as well as an uncertain future.

在这方面，正在使用的车库上的废弃结构将被改造为出租公寓，目的是以低预算投资从现有建筑中获得尽可能高的收入。考虑到这些环境的普遍不确定性和异质性，我们提出了一种模糊和灵活的建筑，利用现有结构的开放式规划提供的可能性。

In this context, an abandoned structure on a garage in use is to be transformed into a rental apartment house with the aim of obtaining the highest revenue possible from an existing construction with a low budget investment. Having in mind the prevailing uncertainty and heterogeneity of these surroundings, we propose an ambiguous and flexible building, taking advantage of the possibilities that the open-plan of the existing structure offers.

该方案的地下室-开发-装修是通过增加一个阁楼和金属外壳，充分利用现有结构，充分利用分区计划所允许的空间和高度。

The scheme basement-development-finishing is conformed by adding a mezzanine floor and a metallic casing, making the best use of the existing structure and taking full advantage of the space and height allowed by the zoning plan. 

这座8.66米x25米的旧建筑由五个与街道平行的结构单元组成。由于主梁的存在，在地段内没有柱子。

The old building of 8.66 m x 25 m was composed of five structural modules parallel to the street.  Due to the existence of major beams there were no columns within the lot.

中央模块被解构，并被选择包含垂直循环和一个庭院，组织区域，通风和照明的单位和公共区域。这座大楼现在每层有两个单元，与中央庭院直接相关。每个单元中的服务空间以及安装都处于战略位置，通过简单的操作，可以对同一空间进行不同的使用。开放计划最初被提议用于住宅办公室，但如果经济形势发生变化，则可以将其改造为一到两间卧室公寓，再加上一面或两堵墙和一扇门。

The central module is deconstructed and chosen to contain the vertical circulation and a court yard which organizes the area, ventilates and gives light to the units and common areas. The building comprises now two units per floor in direct relation to the central court yard. The service spaces as well as installations in each unit are strategically located allowing, by simple operations, different uses of the same space. The open-plan is originally proposed to house offices, but they can be transformed into one or two bedroom apartments adding one or two walls and a door if required by changes in the economic situation.

建筑的混合特征反映在建筑的外观上：重新解释建筑规则，重新组合一个“盒子”，通过各个方向的一些运动来解构。这种运动，从内部单位，产生不同的内部和外部关系，使每个部门创造自己的特殊性。

The hybrid character of the building is reflected in the façade:  Reinterpreting the building regulations, it reassembles a "box" which is deconstructed through some movements in every direction. Such movements, from inside the units, generate different interior and exterior relationships, allowing each sector to create its own particularity.

形成外壳的折叠片的使用是新的垂直金属外壳的连续性，并被穿孔以创造内部/外部的二元性。

The use of the folded sheet forming the enclosure is the continuity of the new vertical metallic casing and is perforated to create an internal / external duality.

使用了有限种类的建筑材料：玻璃、混凝土和金属，所有这些材料都暴露在正面和公共区域，以便产生一种正式的材料对话，呼吁照明和空间质量作为建筑物的附加价值。

A limited variety of construction materials was used: glass, concrete and metal, all of them exposing on the facade and the common areas, in order to produce a formal material dialogue appealing to the lighting and the spatial quality as an added value to the building.
