架构师提供的文本描述。这所为艺术收藏家和他的家人建造的预制房屋是在圣地亚哥郊区的一个新郊区住宅区建造的。为减少建造时间和成本，游泳池采用了5个40“标准集装箱、6个20”标准集装箱和1个40“开放式顶部集装箱。

Text description provided by the architects. This prefabricated house for an art collector and his family was built in the outskirts of Santiago in a new suburban residential area. In order to reduce construction time and costs, second hand shipping containers were used as follow: Five 40 “standard containers, Six 20“ standard containers and one 40“ open top container for the swimming pool.

暂且不履行这份简报；这所房子的主要目的有两个：

Putting aside the fulfillment of the brief; the main purposes of the house were two:

第一个是把它整合到这个城市的这个地区，在那里，安第斯山的存在视觉和构造上都是非常强大的。因此，安第斯山脉的存在被认为是最不值得强调的明显背景，也是需要谈判的斜面。

The first one was to integrate it to the territory of this part of the city where the presence of the Andes Mountain is extremely strong both visually and tectonically. Therefore the presence of the Andes was considered as an obvious background worst to be highlighted and also as a sloped ground needed to be negotiated.

第二种方法是使外部空气能够顺利、方便地通过整个房间及其不同的部分，以避免机械冷却。

The second one was to allow the external air to run smoothly and easily through the all house and its different parts In order to avoid mechanical cooling.

至于前者，建议的融合策略是把房屋的体积放在斜坡上，并容许体积(例如，由斜坡混合)。由于这一潮流把房子调整成自然地面，产生了房子的入口处和儿童卧室，每个房间都有一个倾斜的内部空间，即天窗和房间中的床位。

With regard to the former, the strategy to achieve the proposed integration to the territory, consisted in placing the volumes of the house as if they where resting on the slope and allowing the volumes, lets say; to be blended by the slope. As a result of this tide adjustment of the house to the natural ground; there are generated the entrance to the house and the children sleeping rooms having each one an inclined inner space which is both the skylight and the bed place in the room.

关于后者，改善室内空气流动的战略包括按条纹组织方案，并在其中保留间隙空间，以供居民和来自山区的冷空气循环使用。同时，建议中的间隙空间增加了房屋的周长，使大多数情况下光线和空气从至少两个相反的方向进入空间。由于这一意愿，门窗沿切割条纹的轴对齐，从而缓解了空气流动，也创造了视觉整合。

In relation to the latter; the strategy for improving air movement through the house consisted in organizing the program along stripes and keeping interstitial spaces among them for the circulation of both; the inhabitants and the cool air that comes from the mountains. At the same time, the proposed interstitial spaces increases the house perimeter which allows most of the times to have light and air entering the spaces from at least two opposite sides. As a consequence of this will, windows and doors are aligned along axes that cut the stripes, easing therefore air movement and also creating visual integration

建筑阶段包括：第一，设置挡土墙，形成一个水平平面，放置房屋的公共区域。第二，安装集装箱并将其组装在顶部放置私人区域；第三，用统一的材料包裹集装箱，当时这种材料整合了各个部分，还创造了一个通风的立面，使室内空间变得温和。

Construction phases consisted in: firstly; placing the retaining walls to create a horizontal plane to place the public areas of the house. Secondly; in mounting the containers and ensemble them on top to place the private areas and thirdly; to wrap the containers with a unitarian material which at the time that integrates the parts also creates a ventilated façade that temperate the interior spaces.

在选择材料调色板时，不仅要考虑到低成本的材料，而且还要考虑到低维护性。在材料的选择中，同样重要的是分析它们的老化能力，并将时间的流逝作为增加材料价值的东西。

The material palette was chosen having in mind not only low cost materials but low maintenance as well. In the election of materials it was also important to analyze their capacity to age well an to incorporate time passing as something that adds value to material.

建筑元素，如窗户，门和天窗被合理化，并在整个房子重复不仅为了降低成本，而且为了创造和综合建筑和平。

Architectonic elements such as windows, doors, and skylights are rationalized and repeated all over the house not just to reduce cost but also in order to create and integrated architectonic peace.
