通过一张照片对房子进行整修。这所房子位于一座建筑的底层，它位于花园和海边之间，从阿利坎特(西班牙)的阿尔泰市到山上。

House refurbishment through a photo. This house is located at the ground floor of a building which is found among gardens and by the sea, up in the hill from a city called Altea, in Alicante (Spain).

 Floor Plan

从一开始，这座房子就与周围的环境没有联系，因此，第一个决定已经很清楚了：把地板放出来，这样它就可以与整个外部环境联系起来，特别是与前面的海洋联系起来。由于这样的安排，房子一直被分成两片，朝南和向北。

In the very beginning this house was unconnected to its own surroundings and therefore, the first decision to make was already clear:  to set the floor free so it could be related with the whole outer environment, but especially, with the sea in ahead of it. Because of this arrangement the house remained split up in two slices facing south and north.

在第一张中，主卧室和主浴室的位置都比较窄；在第二张中，空间是由厨房、生活和就餐三者结合而成的。为了做到这一点，我们以著名摄影师爱德华·H·韦斯顿的作品之一为参考，因为在捕捉曲线和运动的宁静时所表现出的美。这个起点帮助我们设计了一件家具，能够从房子的一端移动到另一端，并成为空间的主要决定性元素。

In the first piece, which is the narrower of both, the master bedroom and the main bathroom are placed; and  in the second one the space is starred by a combination of kitchen, living, and dining all in one. In order to do so we took as a reference one of the works of the well-known photographer Edward H. Weston, because of the beauty shown while capturing the curves and the quiet of the movement. This starting point helped us to design a piece of furniture capable of  traveling from one end to another of the house and of becoming the main defining element of the space.

我们坚信把人体与测量、比例、材料联系起来是有意义的.对我们来说，这种关系增强了人们对环境的感知方式。因此，在设计建筑时，心理因素是一个非常重要的方面。例如，这套公寓的部分是用“Le Modulor”中描述的尺寸作为地面设计的(Le Corbuser，1948)。

We strongly believe in the relevance of connecting the human body with the measures, the proportions, the materials... For us this relationship enhances the way in which people perceived their environment. Hence, psychological factors  are a very important aspect to take keep in mind when designing architecture. For instance, the section of this flat has been designed by using as a ground the dimensions described in "Le Modulor" (Le Corbusier, 1948).

从这个意义上说，我们取高度226厘米，然后用它做分数：台面86厘米，长凳43厘米，桌子70厘米。此外，大多数家具可视为项目本身的一部分。地毯，“折叠椅”扶手椅，其中一张桌子和垂直花园是专门为这所房子设计的。

In this sense, we took for the height 226cm and then we made fractions out of it:  86cm for the countertop; 43cm for the benches and 70cm for the tables. Besides, most of the furniture can be considered as part of the project itself. The carpets, the "crochair" armchair, one of the tables and the vertical garden were designed specially for this house.
