城市。奥达兹港是1962年成立的一个新城市。这是相关的，因为城市模式和它的住宅四分位者跟随着美国郊区和私人汽车的乐观精神作为一种最有效的交通工具。这可能是为数不多的项目机会之一，因为它自己的上下文不包含任何历史引用、预先存在的体系结构或轶事。

The City. Puerto Ordaz is a new founded city from 1962. This is relevant since the city pattern´s and it´s residential quartiers follow the optimism of the American suburbia and the private automobile as a most efficient means of transportation. This could be one of the few project opportunities, where its own context does not contain any historical references, pre-existing architectures or anecdotes.

 Floor Plan

设计策略。气候和规划的可能性，就像该地段的几何条件一样，导致了一种周边占领战略，我们用简单的活动来填补所有的挫折，这样房子的有效方案就可以包含在这条边界周围的一条厚厚的线上。这一计划，创造了一个非常理想的中央空隙，产生了一座庭院屋，目的是创造一种可控的微气候，并回顾城市的现有结构，并将建筑物开放到该地段前面的一个现有公园，面向房屋的正门。

Design Strategies. The climatic and programmatic possibilities, as much as the geometrical conditions of the lot, resulted in a strategy of peripheral occupation where we filled all the setbacks with simple activities, so that the effective program of the house could be contained in a thick line around this borders. This plan, created a much desired central void, generating a Patio-House, intended as a way to create a controlled micro-climate and also to look back to the existing fabric of the city and open the building to an existing park in front of the lot, facing the main entrance of the house.

这个主要的庭院位于计划的中心，定义和控制了具体的气候问题，高温和湿度。正是这个中央花园在它周围的空间里创造了一种独特的生活，因为它允许项目的所有部分的关系都是虚无的。走进和走出去可能是一个单一操作的一部分，使规划空间成为中间区域，在经验中分解内部和外部类别。

This main patio situated around the center of the plan, defines and controls specific climatic problems, high temperatures and humidity. It is this central garden that creates a unique life in the spaces around it, because it allows the relationships void-building-void in all the sections of the project. Walk in and walk out could be part of a single operation making the programmatic spaces to be intermediate areas, dissolving the interior and exterior categories in the experience.

分隔空间的目的有三个基本要素：露台、楼梯和桥梁。在较低的计划中的所有空间是相互关联的，围绕着花园的存在，将通过不同的消失点生活。通过这三种元素，房子向内看，并创造自己的景观。

The segregation of spaces is intended with three essential elements: the patio, the stairs and the bridge. All the spaces in the lower plan are interconnected around the presence of the garden which will be lived through different vanishing points. Through these three elements the house looks inward and creates its own landscape.

大楼。体积合成是用简单的棱镜白盒创建的，它们每个都响应于一个包含的程序。这些白色结构的体积是建筑的主要元素，与中央露台的屏蔽空隙相对。家庭生活的思想可以分解成一个更加灵活和中立的空间结构和特征。

The Building. The volumetric composition is created with simple prismatic white boxes, each of them responding to a contained program. These white stuccoed volumes are the main elements of the building opposed to the screened void of the central patio. The idea of domesticity dissolves into a more flexible and neutral spatial configuration and character.

开放/封闭、内部/外部和中间空间的含义与庭院和正面的铝制格子工程相辅相成，这些建筑设计成保护不受欢迎的阳光曝晒和长视野的屏幕。白色盒子的简单是一种对国内语言更为抽象的方法，它丝毫没有揭示出所包含的功能，而是谨慎地看着街对面的公园。房子里的“花园”的概念不是一片孤立的绿色，而更多的是一系列零碎的、具有特定责任的小领地。

The meaning of open/close, interior/exterior and intermediate space is complemented with the aluminum lattice works in the patio and facades, designed as screens protecting undesired sun exposure and long views.The simplicity of the white boxes are a more abstract approach to a domestic language, revealing nothing of the contained functions, but discreetly looking at the park across the street. The concept for “a garden” in the house is not an isolated patch of green, but more a fragmented series of small territories designed with specific responsibilities.

结论。最后，我们认为，我们对城市的贡献是与人行道的开放对话，展示了一座中立的房子，它重新审视了中央庭院战略的明显理念，并在我们的背景下提出了主题性问题，无论是在使用气候条件方面，还是在其建筑语言中。

Conclusion. Finally, we believe that our contribution to the city is the open dialog with the sidewalk, presenting a neutral house, which revisits the obvious idea of a central patio strategy and bring up issues of topicality in our context, either in the use of climatic conditions as much as in the language of its architecture.
