最初，房屋的位置和方向主要是由共管公寓条例决定的，这导致我们寻找替代策略，以确保在分配中所要求的自然光、视图和隐私的理想水平。最初的请求是寻求低光照条件，而不是法沃拉特权景观。

Initially the location and orientation of the house was primarily dictated by condominium regulations, leading us to search for alternative strategies that would ensure the desired levels of natural light, views, and privacy requested in the assignment.The initial request sought low light conditions, preferring to favora privileged view.

因此，新的方法创造了一个被自然穿透的房子，与室内庭院的结合，使围护有一个理想的视野以及高水平的自然光。

Thus,the new approach created a house pierced by nature,with the integration ofinterior courtyards, allowing the enclosures to have an ideal view as well ashigh levels of natural light.

在体积空间方面，一楼作为基础，建立了空间，而二楼是一个自由放置在上面的盒子。两种空间在庭院中相遇，二楼的物质性下降，围绕着一楼的墙壁，增加了这些向天空开放的空间的垂直感。

In regards to volumetric space, the first floor stands as the base,establishing thespace, while the second floor is a box that sits freely above. Both spacesmeet in the courtyards where the materiality of the second floor descends, surrounding the walls of the first floor and increasing the sense of verticality of these spaces that are open to the sky.

光线从北面聚集，那里的窗户首先被隐藏起来，然后暴露出来，以捕捉所需的光度。在这个外观上的观点被拒绝给予所需的隐私网站从街道。然而，南面是完全开放的欣赏山景，从私人庭院的房子。

Light gathers from the northern facade, where windows are first hidden then exposed to capture the desired luminosity. The view on this façade isdenied to give needed privacy to the site from the street. However the south façade is completely open to appreciate the view of the mountains, starting from the private patio’s of the house.

物质性力求加强体积决定，并通过建设性的后续行动来支持该方案，为此，由钢筋砖石建造的一楼的目标体积容纳了公共区域，将二楼作为一个单一的容积空间，包含主卧室及其附属物，将其改造成一个宁静的场所，有理想的全景景观。在后一个空间中，木材与通风的立面一起工作，这大大改善了房屋的热性能，当由庭院支撑时，它为居民创造了一种节能的建筑和更高的舒适度。

Materiality seeks to strengthen volumetric decisions andsupport the program by being constructively consequent, for which the target volume of the first floor, constructed of reinforced masonry,accommodates the public areas, leaving the second floor as a single volumetric space, containing the master bedroom and its dependencies, transforming it into a place of tranquility with ideal panoramic views. In the latter space, the wood is worked with a ventilated façade, which considerably improves the thermal performance of the house, which when supportedby the courtyards creates an energy-efficient architecture and an improved level of comfort for the inhabitants.
