我们受雇于一位非常有趣的客户，一位来自加州旧金山的年轻律师，他对冲浪有着极大的热情，这就是他来到普拉亚吉奥内斯的原因。这个项目有一个困难的地点，一个适度的预算，以及一个对建筑充满热情的客户，这对我们来说无疑是一个挑战。

We were hired by a very interesting client, a young lawyer from San Francisco, California, with a great passion for surf, which is what brought him to Playa Guiones. The project had a difficult site, a modest budget, and a client with a passion for architecture, definitely a challenge for us.

我们在三处房屋周围设计了K屋，第一个前提是背景反应：房子被组织成一个水平的钢筋，锚定在一个混凝土底座的一端，另一端悬挂在森林的另一端，由薄的钢柱组成，在某些情况下，柱子的高度超过5米。这使得房子在树梢中消失了，它有开阔的露台、大的开口和宽阔的屋檐，与树木的树冠相连，与景观相融合。混凝土底座的作用是支撑一座薄薄的立式塔，其中包含一系列冥想空间，连接到外部，并有通往上层露台的楼梯，以欣赏太平洋上普拉亚·吉奥内斯的壮丽景色。在这个平台上，客户可以在早上查看冲浪，然后冒险进入他的日常冲浪。

We designed K House around three premises, the first premise is a contextual response: the house is organized as a horizontal bar anchored at one of its ends to a concrete base and suspended at the other end amid the forest by thin steel columns which in some cases rise over 5 meters high. This allows the house to be lost among the treetops with its open terraces, large openings and extensive eaves, connecting with the canopy of trees, living and blending with the landscape. The concrete base functions as the point of support of a thin vertical tower containing a series of spaces for meditation connected to the exterior with a staircase leading to the upper terrace, to appreciate the majestic view of Playa Guiones on the Pacific Ocean. From this platform the client can check the surf in the morning before venturing into his daily surfing.

第二个前提是适应性，我们想要设计一所房子，它能与它的环境和场地相适应，这是一座陡峭的山坡上密密麻麻的树木。在这座陡峭的山丘上，房子很容易适应10月潮湿、多雨、干燥和多尘的三月之间剧烈的气候变化，这是非常重要的。这个前提让我们把房子设计成一个呼吸器，一个过滤阳光、风、空气甚至风景的房子，仔细选择当地的材料，让我们能够重新诠释现代意义上的乡土建筑。柚木板内部有一个筛子，是为包层系统设计的，允许房子通过墙壁呼吸，防止虫子进入。进入室内空间和露台的巨大开口为室内和室外提供了一个持续的关系。​​的唯一区域这种物质性提供了一种近乎宗教的永恒感，在外表上是古老的，被遗忘的，被使用的，简单的，是冥想的完美空间。

The second premise was adaptability, we wanted to design a house that would fit properly and honestly with its environment and with the site, which is a dense mass of trees on a steep hill, in which it was very important that the house easily adapt to drastic climate changes between wet and rainy October and dry and dusty March. This premise led us to design the house as a respirator, a house that filters the sun, wind, air and even the views, a careful selection of local materials that allow us to reinterpret local rural architecture present in modern terms. Teak panels with a sieve inside were designed for the cladding systems, allowing the house to breathe through its walls and keep the bugs out. Huge openings into the interior spaces and terraces provide a continuous relationship between the inside and the outside of the house. The only area of ​​the house that touches the floor is the master bedroom, located on the lower level of the concrete base, this volume supports the "zen tower", coated in steel sheets left to oxidize and sealed. This materiality provides an almost religious sense of permanence, old in appearance, forgotten, used, simple, a perfect space for meditation.

第三个前提是诚实。诚实源于其微薄的预算，没有杂技。这座房子建在一个5x5米的模块化钢系统上，覆盖着柚木镶板、胶合板天花板和带有拉伸系统的预制桁架，所有这些元素都是在现场组装而成的，我们认为这是一座现代化的哥斯达黎加海滩别墅。

The third premise, honesty. An honesty derived from its modest budget, without acrobatics. The house is built on a modular steel system of 5x5 meters, clad by teak paneling, plywood ceilings and prefabricated trusses with tensile systems, all elements assembled on site to conceive what we consider a modern Costa Rica beach house.
