架构师提供的文本描述。原来的1989年的建筑位于田野的前部，向北向南，在它现有的状态下，这栋房子在底层有几处废弃的商业建筑，其余部分的分布也很不幸，这促使我们提议在90%的房子里重新安置这个项目，我们关闭街道的空间，赢得隐私，把它们打开到场地后面的绿色区域，这样我们就可以鼓励与这个被遗忘的地区进行交流。

Text description provided by the architects. The original 1989 building is located at the front of the field , with north-south orientation , in its existing state this house had a couple of abandoned commercial premises on the ground floor and an unfortunate distribution in the rest of it, this led us to propose the new relocation of the program in 90% of the house, we close the spaces to the street winning privacy and open them to the green area of the back of the field , so we can incentivize communication with this forgotten area.

这座住宅的设计是从两个前提发展而来的，第一个是：通过密集的预制质量产生空间流动，并对一些楼板进行具体的拆除，然后创造三重高度；第二个：通过建造一个作为过渡空间的露台，将生活房屋重新定向到地面的后方。

The design of this home remodeling develops from two premises, the first one: to produce the space flow through the dense prebuilt mass with specific demolition of some slabs and then create a triple height , the second one: redirect life house to the rear of the ground through the construction of a terrace that serves as a transition space.

第一个重大决定是删除所有现有的多余元素，以产生一个体积值给原来的建筑，在前面，我们设法拯救了巨型盒子的纯度与ACM面板正面，它拥有一个基于矩形孔模式的设计，根据需要的室内能见度，照明和通风倍增，这种双立面还产生隔热和隔音性能，使项目更可持续。

The first major decision was to remove all existing excess elements to generate a volumetric value to the original construction, at the front we managed to rescue the mega box purity with an ACM panel facade that boasts a design based on a rectangular holes pattern that multiplies itself as needed visibility , lighting and ventilation inside the house , this double facade also generates thermal and acoustic insulation properties that make the project more sustainable.

房子后面的高架露台与原来的空间是和谐的，原来的空间由一系列高墙组成，旋转了45度，所以这个体积加法复制和闪烁-这些裂口会在露台和房子之间产生一个水晶裂缝，露台的另一边完全是正交的，几乎可以完成这个巨型盒子。一楼和一楼-都是公共区域-不仅被楼梯绑起来，还被从后花园到新露台的坡道绑在一起，完全可以接触轮椅、残疾人和老年人。

The elevated terrace on the back of the house is in harmony with the original volume which consists of a series of high walls rotated 45 degrees, so in that hand this volumetric addition copies and shimmers these breaks generating a crystal crack between the terrace and the house, the other side of the terrace is entirely orthogonal to virtually complete the mega box. The ground floor and the first level - both public areas- not only bind up by stairs but also by a ramp that goes from the back garden to the new terrace which allows full access to wheelchairs, people with disabilities and seniors.

第二层是私人区域，里面有卧室，这些卧室被转过身，可以欣赏到绿色后院的景色。最后，屋顶变成了第二个露台，主要的主角是中央的雕塑圆顶结构。所有的锯齿状涂层漆被拆除，取而代之的是一个简单的扁平水泥完成，这有助于描绘原始建筑的异想天开的形式。

The second level -private areas- contains the bedrooms which were turned around to privilege them with views towards the green back yard. Finally the roof becomes a second terrace where the main protagonist is the sculptural domed structure in the middle of it. All serroteado coated finish was demolished and replaced by a simple flattened cement finish that helps to delineate the whimsical forms of the original construction.
