客户建议的一些问题是对空间宽敞、明亮、透明和拥有空间的看法。一所独立运作的房子，在那里，社会区域将与私人区域有一定的独立关系。

The perception of spaciousness, brightness, transparency and space possession were some of the issues suggested by the client. A house that would function on its own, where the social area would have certain independence from the private area.

一种感觉，你的土地重复它的大小，利用它的位置在一个角落。如果我们添加建筑师的意图，创造灵活的空间，并利用景观作为设计的一部分，结果是可见的。他们创造了360度的室内景观，从社会领域的第一层开始(客厅、餐厅和书房)，并利用现有的外部景观，由山丘和绿地组成，从社会容量的第二层(露台)开始。建筑师们决定使用通常位于利马的屋顶(第五立面)来建造一个游泳池，并创建一个烧烤区。

The feeling that your piece of land duplicates its size taking advantage of its position on a corner. If we add the architects´ intention of generating flexible spaces and using the landscape as part of the design, the result is visible. They created a 360- degree interior landscape starting at the first level of the social area (living room, dining room and study) and used in their favor the existent exterior landscape, composed by hills and green areas, starting at the second level of the social volume (terrace). The architects decided to use the roof (fifth façade), which is commonly set aside in Lima, to build a pool and create a BBQ area.

这样，该项目诞生了两个不同的和分开的卷连接的桥梁，同时产生一个天花板一个连接的空间。第一卷是透明的，周围是一个花园和一个水镜，几乎覆盖了整个土地。

This way, the project is born with two different and separated volumes joined by a bridge which at the same time generates a ceiling for a connecting space. The first volume is transparent, surrounded by a garden and a water mirror that goes over almost the whole length of the land.

另一方面，两层楼的第二层空间要密封得多。它的员工区在第一层，私人区域在第二层。这第二卷有一个“L”形状，以保护透明的体积免受阳光，消除不想看到的其他邻近的建筑物，并加强工程与角落的关系。

On the other hand, the second volume of two floors is much more hermetic. It has the employees´ area on the first level and the private area on the second. This second volume has an “L” shape to protect the transparent volume from the sun, to eliminate non desired visuals from other neighboring buildings and to strengthen the project – corner relationship.

这项建议考虑在建筑物和邻里之间建立良好的关系。出于这个原因，建筑师们决定把这个项目搬回来，留下一个免费的角落，为入口处提供更多的动力。同样的，他们决定把水镜伸向街道，把周围的墙作为漂浮的墙，这样行人就可以接触到水了。

The proposal considered generating a good relationship between the building and the neighborhood. For that reason, the architects decided to move back the project and leave a free corner that gives more power to the entrance. In the same way, they decided to prolong the water mirror up to the street and raise the perimeter wall, as a floating wall, so the pedestrians can have contact with the water.
