架构师提供的文本描述。选址是一个长期和非常重要的过程，因为它需要一个空间，以促进对项目的期望。基多市郊需要大面积的土地，但与该城市直接有关。这些目标被转化为旧金山兰乔-坎巴亚地区的一座小山。该地点的位置意味着对该地区的发展有一个清晰和强烈的视觉存在，同时也是对坎巴亚山谷及其周围环境的独特看法。

Text description provided by the architects. The site selection was a long and very important process because it required a space that would foster expectations for the project. A large area was required on the outskirts of Quito but directly related to the city. These objectives were translated into a hill in the area of Rancho San Francisco – Cumbaya. The location of the site implies a clear and strong visual presence for the developments in the area, and also privileged views of the Cumbaya valley and its surroundings.

由于该地点有一个陡峭的斜坡，第一种方法是将该项目融入当地的地形，并在最高的地区进行设计以获得高度。利用边坡的优点，设计了草坪边坡作为建筑的天然基础。社会地区位于科托帕西山。卧室区域直面朝阳，俯瞰坎巴亚山谷，后面是科迪莱拉东方山脉、安蒂萨纳山脉和卡坎贝山脉。内部区域，如书房，家庭室，和其他，“开放”的内部庭院与反射池，并在中间一个前哥伦布里程碑由建筑师古斯塔沃瓜亚索设计，作为该项目的垂直轴。

Since the site had a steep slope, the first approach was to integrate the project into the local topography and design it on the highest area to gain height. Taking advantage of the slope, lawn slopes were designed to serve as a natural base for the proposed architecture. The social areas are located towards Cotopaxi mountain. The bedroom area is oriented directly with the morning sun, and overlooking the Cumbaya valley with the Cordillera Oriental and Antisana and Cayambe mountains behind. Internal areas such as study, family room, and others, “open” towards an interior courtyard with a reflecting pool, and in the middle a pre-Columbian milestone designed by architect Gustavo Guayasamin, as the vertical axis of the project.

就其形象而言，这座房子是一个建筑的体积，主角和活力。它是白色的体积与一个非常清晰和明确的节奏，和倾斜的外墙。所有的元素都是为了解释环境，特别是安第斯山脉。屋顶与斜墙具有相同的处理方式，因此产生了“第五面”的概念。屋顶立面在美学构图中同样重要.这是一个现代项目，拯救厄瓜多尔的传统建筑元素，如：承重墙、石板、具有水特色的室内庭院、巨大的墙壁和窗户开口，这些都是为了创造光线和阴影效果，等等。

In terms of its image, the house is an architectural volume, protagonist and dynamic. It is the articulation of white volumes with a very clear and defined rhythm, and slanted exterior walls. All the elements are intended to be an interpretation of the environment, specifically the Andes. The roofs have the same treatment as the slanted walls, thus creating the idea of the “fifth facade”. The roof-facade is equally important in the aesthetic composition. This is a modern project that rescues Ecuadorean traditional architectural elements such as: load bearing walls, stone baseboards, interior courtyard with a water feature, great presence of walls versus openings for windows mostly recessed to create light and shadow effects, among others.

建筑师的决定之一是建造一个外部建筑隔膜，它作为一个最字面意义上的屏幕。它就像一张白纸，集成到建筑中，并将其投影，将泳池空间与车辆流通区域分开。

One of the decisions of the architect was to build an exterior architectural diaphragm, which acts as a screen in its most literal sense. It is like a blank sheet that integrates into the architecture and projects it, separating the pool space from the vehicle circulation area.

房子分为三层：地下室有停车场和储藏区，有服务性住房和员工空间，可以独立运作。该项目的主要组成部分是主楼层，以及供客人和电影院使用的阁楼。

The house is divided into three levels: a basement with parking and storage areas, with service housing and spaces for employees, which can function independently. A main floor with the majority of the components of the project, and a mezzanine for guests and movie theater.

主楼层被划分为三大空间：卧室区、社交区和独立套房，交替分布在主流通轴上，从住宅入口处开始，尽头是另一端，另一端是套房的入口。在这个循环的中心是垂直的核心带电梯。还有一个额外的娱乐区，有一个游泳池和一个瀑布，一个绿色的区域和观景台。

The main floor has been zoned into three large spaces: bedroom block, social areas, and independent suite, alternately distributed along the main circulation axis that starts at the entrance of the residence and ends, at the other end, with the entrance to the suite. In the center of this circulation is the vertical core with an elevator. There is an additional recreational area, with a pool and a waterfall, a green area and viewing deck.

里面，房子采用了和外面一样的方式，简约但有着强烈的形象。用于墙壁和天花板的白色信封，与深色对比。三种类型的艺术作品突出了不同地区的色彩：殖民绘画和雕塑、哥伦布前考古学和瓜亚萨敏当代绘画。这些艺术品中的每一件，空间和特定的壁龛都被设计成室内建筑的一部分。

Inside, the house follows the same approach as on the outside, simplicity but with a strong image. A white envelope for walls and ceilings with a dark contrast. The color of the different areas is highlighted uniquely by artworks of three types: colonial painting and sculpture, pre-Columbian archeology, and Guayasamin contemporary painting. For each of these artworks, spaces and specific niches have been designed as part of the interior architecture.

同样，可以定义两种不同的尺度和感觉。一个友好的私人空间，另一个大格式的，一个为社会领域贡献了博物馆的想法。为了补充室内建筑，家具已按比例设计的空间，具体木匠的项目。家具，装饰物，织物和进口地毯。专门为博物馆设计照明，集成音频和安全系统等。

Similarly, two different types of scales and sensations can be defined. A friendly one for the private spaces, and another, large-format one for the social areas that contribute to the idea of a museum. To complement the interior architecture, furniture has been designed in proportion to the space, specific carpentry for the project. Furniture, decorative objects, fabrics, and imported carpets. Lighting design specific for a museum, integrated audio and security systems, among others.

设计师的意图总是提出一个不同的建议，但有一个强烈的身份。与它的背景和设计风格相一致。从而提供了一个参考什么是或可能是当代厄瓜多尔建筑。

The designer’s intention was always to make a different proposal, but with a strong identity. Consistent with its context and its design style. Thereby providing a reference of what is or may be contemporary Ecuadorian architecture.

这个项目也可以被看作是一个实验，它将成熟建筑师的经验和信誉与年轻建筑师的新关切和期望融为一体。同时，这也是建筑师Gustavo Guayasamin工作的尾声，他从事了近60年的专业实践，80年来一直能够构思出一个这样的项目。

This project could also be seen as an experiment that has merged the experience and creditworthiness of a mature architect with the new concerns and expectations of a young architect. At the same time, it is the epilogue of the work of architect Gustavo Guayasamin, with almost 60 years of professional practice, who at 80 years has been able to conceive a project of this nature.

主人公在平衡和谐，流畅和简单的空间，光，自然和宁静，是可以归因于这个项目的一些品质。一个房子，一个主人和分享的家，享受日常生活。

Protagonist facades in balance and harmony, fluid and simple spaces, light, nature, and serenity, are some of the qualities that can be attributed to this project. A house, a home to host and share, to enjoy daily life.

其结果就是一座房屋博物馆，它本身就是一座建筑雕塑。

The result is a house museum that is in itself an architectural sculpture.
