架构师提供的文本描述。一对带着新生孙女的老夫妇委托我们在最近建造的两座房子之间的一段地方设计他们的新住宅。他们的主要要求之一是，房子应该很少或没有视觉接触到附近的物业，日常生活应该在一个单一的层面上进行。除了通常的要求外，他们还要求在高层有一个客房和一个健身房，我们通过温和的过渡来解决这一问题，也就是说，不需要长时间的楼梯飞行。

Text description provided by the architects. An elderly couple with a newborn grandchild commissioned us to design their new residence on a section between two recently built houses. Among their main requirements was that the house should have little or no visual contact with the neighboring properties and that daily life should happen on a single level. In addition to the usual requirements they asked for a guest bedroom and a gym on an upper level, which we resolved by means of gentle transition, that is, without long-spanning flights of stairs.

在深入分析客户需求、立地定位和气候条件的基础上，我们提出了一种简单的双高度室内空间形式，即线条清晰、体积简单的设计。我们建议把房子从视线的高度提升，以实现街道上的隐私。

After a thorough analysis of the clients' requirements, site orientation and climatic conditions, we proposed an uncomplicated form with double-height interior spaces, a design characterized by clear lines and simple volumes. We proposed the house to be elevated from eye level to achieve privacy from the street.

即使房子使用材料，建筑方法和周围建筑物已经建立的色彩调色板，这不是一个传统的房子。在这个房子里，这些相同的材料和颜色已经被应用到一种挑战周围环境和表达我们的建筑理念的设计理念，以一个以几何学为重点的方式。

Even though the house uses materials, construction methods and a palette of colors already established by the surrounding buildings, this is not a traditional house. In this house those same materials and colors have been applied in a way that challenges the surrounding environment and expresses our architectural ideas by means of a design concept with a focus on geometry.

这所房子里的每一个房间都是以这样一种方式来设计的，这样就能充分利用白天的阳光，并使家庭生活发生在花园周围，而花园是房子活动的核心。值得一提的是，从这个房子的各个角度都可以欣赏到墨西哥最重要火山的壮丽景色。前面的门面几乎与街道完全分开；所有的客厅、餐厅和家庭房间以及图书馆都直接和容易地连接到花园和甲板上。

Each room within this house is oriented in such a way as to make the best use of sunlight throughout the day and for family life to take place around the garden, the core around which the house functions. It is worth to mention that magnificent views of the most important volcanos of Mexico can be enjoyed from all angles of this house. The front façade is almost totally disconnected from the street; all living, dining and family rooms as well as the library are directly and easily connected to the garden and the deck.

这是一个灵活的，开放的空间的房子，其中每一个的具体用途不是绝对的预先确定-一个类似于度假屋的概念。

This is a house of flexible, open spaces, where the particular use of each one of them is not absolutely pre-determined - a conception along the lines of a holiday house.

只使用当地的材料：天然石和木材，石灰华大理石，雷奇托(火山石)，胡桃木梁，花岗岩和钢化玻璃(钢化玻璃)。精心的景观设计思想，房子完成了程序。

Only local materials have been used: natural stone and timber, travertine marble, recinto (volcanic stone), walnut wood beams, granite and toughened (tempered) glass. Careful landscape design thoughout the house completes the program.
