架构师提供的文本描述。这座住宅位于墨西哥城附近森林中的山坡上，周围是树木。最重要的是不要在这样一个有特权的地方砍伐任何树木。这转化为一个强制的平面图设计，总是试图避免干扰树木。由于场地的地形坡度，入口是通过一个欢迎门厅通过顶层。这一门厅位于连接两座主楼的连接结构内，第一栋是主楼，内有餐厅、客厅、图书馆和卧室等所有公共房间，都能欣赏花园的景色；第二层支撑结构与街道平行，其中包括洗衣房、仓库和服务区等服务区域。

Text description provided by the architects. This residence is located in a mountain slope surrounded by trees in a forest near Mexico City. It was of utmost importance not to tear down any trees in such a privileged site. This translated in a forced floor plan design, always attempting to avoid disturbing the trees. Because of site’s sloping terrain, access is through the top level through a welcoming foyer. This foyer is located within a connecting structure that unites the two main buildings, the first one being the main building that houses all public rooms such as dining room living room, library room and bedrooms, all enjoying views of the garden; and a second supporting structure aligned with the street that houses service areas such as laundry room, storage and service areas.

 Floor Plan

这两座建筑围绕着一个高度倾斜的室内林立庭院，坡度为60°。每时每刻，房子都能适应地形。在树木筑巢的特定地区切割结构元素，以避免干扰树木。

These two structures surround a heavily inclined interior wooded courtyard with a 60° slope. At all times the house adapts itself to the topography. Structural elements were cut in specific areas where a tree was nestled in order to avoid disturbing it.

这个地方的特点，它的倾斜，北方的方向，和被封闭在树下，这是必不可少的提供空气和温暖的房子。这转化为一个清晰的中央楼梯暴露在南方，捕捉阳光和作为散热器，提供温暖的室内地区的房子，从而平衡温度。

The specific characteristics of this site, its inclination, a northern orientation, and being cloistered underneath trees, it was essential to provide air and warmth to the house. This translated into a clear central staircase exposed to the south that captures sunlight and functions as a radiator that provides warmth to the interior areas of the house, thus balancing temperatures.

从结构上讲，这座房子由一个金属结构组成，允许大跨度，并有很长的悬垂。因此，所有内部隔墙都是用木、板和石头包裹的砌块墙，它们是独立的，不干扰金属结构和上面的浮动天花板。

Structurally, the house consists of a metallic structure allowing for large spans, and extended overhangs. All interior partitions are therefore block walls sheathed with wood paneling and stone that are freestanding and do not interfere with the metallic structure and the floating ceiling above.

使用的材料很少，所有的地板要么是公共区域的黑色花岗岩，要么是卧室里的木头，外墙和内部隔墙都用石灰华大理石覆盖。卧室的内部隔墙用木板覆盖。

Few materials were used, all floors are either black granite in public area or wood in the bedrooms, and the main walls are all sheathed with travertine marble in both in the exterior walls and interior partitions. Interior partitions in bedrooms are sheathed with wood paneling.

对房子来说，最重要的是不要装模作样地与风景融为一体，给人一种在那里呆了很长时间的感觉。

It was of utmost importance for the house to blend with the landscape without pretension, giving the sensation of having been there for a long time.
