架构师提供的文本描述。卡萨·椭圆形委员会来自一个有明确需求和愿望的年轻家庭。这个项目提出了一个在墨西哥建筑师中越来越普遍的挑战：在一个封闭的住宅社区中建造一所房子，这个社区常常对所有建筑施加任意的、传统的审美限制。隐私和空间效率是该项目的两个驱动问题。房子的信封需要提供足够的视觉隐私，从外面的街道，同时也提供足够的孔隙，以允许慷慨的自然光进入房子。

Text description provided by the architects. The commission for casa Oval came from a young family with clearly defined needs and aspirations. This project presented a challenge that has become increasingly prevalent among Mexican architects: to build a house in a cloistered residential community that often imposes arbitrary, traditionalist aesthetic restrictions on all construction. Privacy and space efficiency were the two driving concerns for the project. The house envelope needed to afford sufficient visual privacy from the street outside, while also providing enough porosity to allow generous amounts of natural light into the house.

在一楼，主入口打开一个前厅，通向宽敞的空间，包括餐饮和生活空间。一扇大的滑动窗向后院和混凝土甲板敞开。厨房在就餐区旁边的一个小空间里被有效地解决了。在二楼，我们发现了各种各样的卧室和一个家庭生活空间；所有的旋转围绕着一个巨大的玻璃庭院，充满阳光的走廊。

On the ground floor, the main entry opens to a vestibule that leads to wide space containing the dining and living spaces. A large sliding window opens to a backyard and concrete deck. The kitchen is resolved efficiently in a small space next to the dining areas. On the second floor we find the various bedrooms and a family living space; all revolving around a large glazed courtyard that floods the hallway with sunlight.

乍一看，房子呈现出一个简单、易读的几何组成；仔细一看，就会发现对工艺和细节的关注。这特别适用于设计房屋的各种元素，例如入口处的金属栅栏，其中包括有不同缝隙的垂直钢带；将房屋体积与地面隔开并在门面上划定窗户的揭示；或窗框中平面的精确组装。混凝土、木材和石头是内部紧缩的主要参与者。

At a first glance, the house displays a simple, legible geometric composition; a closer look reveals a concern for craftsmanship and detail. This is especially patent in the design of various elements of the house, such as the metal fence by the entry, which consists of vertical steel strips with varying gaps; the reveal that separates the volume of the house from the ground and delineates the windows on the façade; or the punctilious assembly of planes in window frames. Concrete, wood and stone are prominent participants among the austerity in the interiors.
