架构师提供的文本描述。位于里约博尼托腹地诺瓦弗里伯戈山脉的“三峰”自然保护区是博物馆馆长路易斯·卡洛斯·梅洛(Luiz Carlos Mello)的住所和撤退地点。它靠近河流是为这样一个项目提出的选择中的一个决定性因素。

Text description provided by the architects. The "Three Peaks" nature preserve, situated in the Nova Friburgo mountains of the Rio Bonito hinterland, was the spot chosen for the residence-cum-retreat of the director of the museum images of the unconscious, Luiz Carlos Mello. Its proximity to the river was a deciding factor among the choices presented for such a project.

两面石墙-1.10米，或3‘7英寸，厚支撑四根钢梁，停放在地板和屋顶上。

Two stone walls - 1.10 meters, or 3' 7", thick - support four steel beams, upon which rest the floors and roofing.

结构的重量与空间(10米或21英尺高)的空气质量形成对比，通过两个天窗将上部层与结构墙隔开。

The weight of the structure is in contrast with the airiness of the empty space (10 meters or 21 feet high), enhanced by two skylights which separate the upper story from the structural walls.

在后壁，窗户是从地板到天花板的划痕，为天窗的水平性提供了垂直的连续性。

On the back wall, the windows are gashes from floor to ceiling which provide vertical continuity for the horizontality of the skylights.

因此，房子从地面上悬挂，不受湿度和恶劣天气的影响，同时，还可以看到远处经过的河流。

The house, thus suspended from the ground, is protected from humidity and inclement weather, and, at the same time, allows for a view of the river passing by in the distance.

在石墙，一个圆木炉子和一个壁炉，一个在房子的两边，是有效的加热。

In the stone walls, a log stove and a fireplace, one on either side of the house, make for effective heating.

在外面，一个楼梯被错开的石头从墙上移走，通向露台：一个俯瞰星空的有利位置。

On the outside, a staircase built by the staggered removal of stones from the wall, leads to the terrace: a vantage point for stargazing.

水和火，重量和失重，古老和现代的融合在一个独特的宇宙栖息地。

Water and fire, weight and weightlessness, the archaic and the modern merging in a unique cosmic habitat.
