架构师提供的文本描述。该项目包括在Sant Esteve de Palautordera村附近扩建现有的周末别墅，距离巴塞罗那北部一小时。现有的房屋在完工后进行了小规模的扩建，但新的房间方案几乎使房子的原始表面翻了一番，因此，新的建筑不能理解为在原来的基础上再增加一个新的体积。从一开始，我们的策略就是把整个项目看作是一对“舞伴”，每个部分都有自己的角色，同时跳同一首歌。

Text description provided by the architects. The project consists on the extension of an existing weekend house near the village of Sant Esteve de Palautordera, one hour north from Barcelona. The existing house had been enlarged with small additions after its completion, but the new room program almost doubled the original surface of the house, and therefore, the new construction couldn´t be understood as one more new volume added to the original. The strategy, from the very beginning, was to treat the overall project as a “dancing couple”, where every part has its own role while dancing the same song.

原来的房子是由一本简单的书组成的，这本书已经被修改了，增加了一个小门廊和一个走廊。我们的第一次手术集中在消除这些增加，留下原来的房子，我们认为这是一个典型的房子：一个简单的体积倾斜屋顶，白色墙壁和小矩形窗户。

The original house consisted of a simple volume which had been altered adding a small porch and a gallery. Our first operation  focuses on  eliminating these additions, leaving the original house as what we understand to be  a prototypical house: a simple volume with pitched roof, white walls and small rectangular windows.

扩展是建立在与原来相同的自发性目标之上的。它似乎是一个简单的体积，几乎重复宽度和略低于原来的房子，以避免竞争的尖峰屋顶。

The extention is built with the same goal of spontaneity than the original. It appears as a simple volume which almost repeats the width and is slightly lower than the original house not to compete with the piched roof.

这对新婚夫妇是由两个相似的角色组成的。窗户的体积、尺寸和比例，以及两者的材料和建筑技术是相似的。它们是平等的，但不完全相同；两者都不想成为主卷，但很容易区分两者。它不是关于双胞胎兄弟，像杜邦和杜邦的角色，而是在同一个整体中的一些奇点，比如斯坦·劳雷尔和奥利弗·哈代。

The new couple is made of two similar characters. The volumes, the dimensions and proportions of the windows, as well as the materials and the construction techniques of the two are similar. They are equal but not identical; none of the two tries to be the main volume, but it is easy to distinguish between both. It is not about twin brothers, like the characters of Dupond and Dupont, but rather, a couple of singularities inside a same unity, like Stan Laurel and Oliver Hardy.

在每一卷书中，相同点与自身特征之间最中间的关系可以从门面上看到。尽管这两卷都有相同的来源，而且基本相同的处理方式，但新的一卷显示了它的建筑层，砖块，抹灰，白色油漆，…。立面上的条纹在新的空间中起到了一定的主导作用，这弥补了它较小的空间，并带来了一些轻盈和破碎，当面对花园的时候，房子就消失了。

The most inmediate relationship between similarities and own charachteristics in each volume can be seen in the façades. Even though both volumes have the same origin, and basilcally the same treatment, the new one shows the layers of its construction; the bricks, the plastering, the white paint,… The stripes in the façade give a certain leading role to the new volume, which compensates its smaller dimension and brings some lightness and fragmentation that vanishes the house when facing the garden.

新的入口和楼梯被放置在这两卷书之间，作为一个连接点。这一区域是稍微倒退从主要的体积和它的较低的高度允许它不是第三块，可以竞争的主要夫妇。这是主要行动者之间的一个空间，它为容量法和内部组织工作；安排循环并显示整个项目的起源、过程和最重要的主要战略。

The new entrance and stairs are placed between the two volumes, working as a joint. This area is slightly set back from the main volumes and its lower height allows it not to be a third piece which could compete with the main couple. It is a space between the leading actors, which works as much for the volumetry as for the internal organization; arranging the circulations and showing the origin, the process and, above all, the main strategy for the whole project.
