架构师提供的文本描述。这是一座砖房，大约50岁，属于我的曾祖母，她把它作为遗产给了他的孙子，一楼是给我姑妈的。当她住在房子里的时候，她决定让它长出来，它唯一能做到的就是向下，两层低一些。多年来，他们对它的空间进行了改造，经过了一次又一次的涂装，地板上铺了几层地毯或葡萄藤，墙壁上涂了胶合板和地毯，用薄薄的胶合板包覆了木片。

Text description provided by the architects. It is a brick house about 50 years old, which belonged to my great grandmother, who gave it as inheritance to his grandchildren, the ground floor was given to my aunt. When she came to live in the house, she decided to make it grow, and the only side to which it could do so was downwards, two lower floors were made. Over many years they made modifications to its space, there was a process of coating after coating, several layers of carpets or vinyls on the floor, coating of plywood and carpet on the walls, and cladding of the pieces of wood with thin plywood.

当我们第一次走进房间开始装修的时候，我们发现和Margarida一起亲手撕扯是件有趣的事，我们意识到这很容易，而且我们可以自己做一些事情，于是我们决定邀请朋友来做建筑工程，喝几杯啤酒，吃点香蕉片。所以我们决定参与其中，享受第一阶段的建设，用锤子玩，安装在梯子上，或者干脆把胶水脱下来。这种包括我们自己的态度，不仅是一种工作姿态，而且也是由于缺乏经济资源和设计了一个战略来建造建筑。

The first time we entered the room to start with the renovation, we found it entertaining with Margarida to rip with our own hands, we realized that it was very easy and it was something we could do ourselves, thus we decided to start construction work inviting friends, have a few beers and eat some banana chips. So we decided to get involved and enjoy this first stage of construction, having fun with a hammer, mounted on a ladder, or simply taking off the glue. This attitude of including ourselves, is not only a working posture, but also due to the fact of not having many economic resources and having devised a strategy, to make architecture.

这是一个低成本的项目，这是一个原因，使我们可以提高的设计与废弃，并经验从现实的空间，它的局限性和某些规则。委员会的任务是清理、移除和找到每一种材料，看看它到底是什么。例如：如果墙是砖做的，看砖是很重要的！

This project was made at a low cost, a reason that allowed us to enhance the design with disuse, and experience from the reality of the space, with its limitations and certain rules. The commission was to clean, remove and find each of the materials to see what it really was. For example: if the wall is made of brick, it is important to see the brick!

一旦房子被拆了.。

Once the house was stripped...

作为第一次练习，我们使用木材和门，成为混凝土预制系统的模板；C形件，放置在不同的位置，以响应各种形式的家具。

A-As a first exercise, we used woods and doors that became formwork for the concrete prefabrication system; C-shaped pieces, placed in different positions in response to various forms of furniture.

然后，木地板变成门，楼梯，架子，空间边界或新地板；以不同的方式占据材料。我们发现的木横梁被用来制作空间体积。

B-Then, the wooden floors became doors, stairs, racks, spatial boundaries or new flooring; occupying the material in different ways. The wooden beams we found were used to make spatial volumes.

当移除材料或做新的开口时，我们留下了一些凹痕，以加强造洞的作用。

C-When removing materials or making new openings, there were dents that we left exposed to intensify the action of making the hole.

第二个到房子的外国材料是三层楼，它是以半价购买的，并利用在工厂购买它的优势，我们带了一份礼物，材料的切边，然后用在容器中，以它的质地。

D-The second foreign material to the house was the triplex, which was purchased at half price and taking advantage of buying it at the factory, we brought as a gift, the cut edges of the material, which is then used in containers, contributing with its texture.

我们寻找一个不完整的建筑.。还没完成！建构逻辑是给空间以美的逻辑。

We sought an incomplete architecture... without finishes! Where the constructive logic is the one that gives the space its beauty.

我们设计了一种新的走廊，消除了所有的阁楼。这是一个不需要我们走路就能移动的事件；一个事件是由一辆移动的手推车运送的，它不仅允许你移动，而且给你不同的空间体验。

We designed a new form of corridor, eliminating all of the mezzanine. An event that does not need us to walk to move; one is transported by a cart that moves, not only allowing you to move, but also giving you different experiences of space.

这是一个强烈的物质工程，展示了物质的本质，每个元素都讲述了自己的故事，在其建设过程中的优势和弱点，它的行业信息，工匠的手，碰巧得到它的结果或时间的事件。

It was a strongly material project, showing the essence of matter, each element tells its own story, its strengths and weaknesses in its construction process, its information of the industry, the hand of the artisan, the event that happened to get its result or time.
