架构师提供的文本描述。万卡别墅是一个度假之家，被认为是发生事情的地方，也是家人和朋友聚会放松…的一个好玩的空间。然而，这并不意味着要保持安静。

Text description provided by the architects. Wanka House is a vacation home thought of as a place where things happen and as a playful space where family and friends meet to relax… this does not mean, however, to be quiet.

位于距布宜诺斯艾利斯400公里的海边小镇Cariló的这座房子离海洋100米，它是由景观滋养和启发的。这就是为什么简报充分利用了周围环境和最佳阳光的情节所在。

The house, which is set a hundred meters from the sea in Cariló – a seaside town 400 km from Buenos Aires city-, is nourished and inspired by the landscape. This is why the brief took full advantage of the views of the surroundings and the optimal sunlight where the plot is situated.

朝后立面，我们遇到了大海和前面的森林。夏天(气温达到40摄氏度)和严冬(气温降至-6°C)时，这里是一个安静的地方。

Towards the rear façade we encounter the sea and at front, the forest. A placid place to enjoy in summer -when temperatures reach 40°C- as well as in the harsh winter, when temperatures go as low as -6°C.

这所房子设置在地块的后部，这样它就靠近海滩了。同时，正面产生空间，在露天享受。原来的情节水平和与街道的距离有利于这一点，因为居民可以从事不同的活动，而不被路人从街上看到。

The house is set in the rear section of the plot so that it is close to the beach. At the same time, the front generates spaces to enjoy in the open air. The original levels of the plot and the distance to the street favor this, as the inhabitants can engage in different activities without been seen by passersby from the street.

放置服务区和游戏室的地板被部分掩埋，没有造成沙的巨大移动-这是场地地形的一个主要因素。

The floor where the service area and playroom are placed was partially buried, without making huge movements of sand –a main element of the site’s topography.

客厅和餐厅的地板分三面打开，使森林向内融为一体，内部和外部的边界融化了。厨房靠近南方。烧烤区作为内部的自然延伸，与游泳池有着直接的关系。朝着后立面，餐厅的地板向一个亲密的露台开放，在它下面，在自然的地形水平上，一个火坑和烤架成为靠近火的完美的聚会场所。

The living room and dining room floor opens in three faces in order to incorporate the forest to the inside; thus, the boundary between the interior and exterior melts away. The kitchen closes to the south. The barbecue area, as a natural extension of the inside, is directly related to the swimming pool. Towards the rear façade, the dining room floor opens to an intimate terrace and below it, in the natural terrain level, a fire pit and grill becomes the perfect meeting place to be next to the fire.

一个白色的盒子朝前面飞去，里面有卧室，也就是睡觉的地方。就像潜望镜一样，盒子凸出-因此，似乎是从主结构浮出-覆盖着餐厅的亲密露台和前面，在烤架区域上方，盒子漂浮在每个人和所有东西上，直到它停在一根柱上，使地块的结构载荷偏离方向，然后消失在水镜上。

A white box ‘flying’ towards the front contains the bedrooms, that is, the sleeping area. Similar to a periscope, the box is protruded -and thus, appears to float out from the main structure- covering the intimate terrace of the dining room and to the front, overhanging the grill area, the box floats over everyone and everything, until it rests on a column that deflects the structural load of the plot before disappearing on a water mirror.

高层完全致力于休闲。这座360度的观景台被认为是进行室内和室外活动的地方，东面是海景，西边是森林，北面是一座相邻城市的轮廓线。

The top level is fully dedicated to leisure. Thought of as a place to carry out both indoor and outdoor activities, the 360° look-out allows for sights of the sea to the east, vistas of the forest to the west, and outlines of a neighboring city skyline towards the north.

建筑不仅通过欣赏已经建成的东西，而且通过与那些建造的空间的相互作用来产生感觉。在万卡大厦，建筑师们试图通过漫步在一条小径上创造出不同的情况。一个斜坡把我们带到入口，当我们沿着入口走的时候，我们认识并欣赏周围的环境：花园、森林、游泳池、池塘、水的声音、水面上的阳光以及它在混凝土上的倒影-总是绕着一根柱子走。当我们走近的时候，当我们意识到它巨大的规模时，它的价值就变得明显了。当我们到达前门时，我们的高度降低了，我们感到舒服了，我们渴望进去。

Architecture generates sensations not only by appreciating what has been built but also by interacting with those built spaces. At Wanka House, the architects sought to generate different situations by strolling around a path. A ramp drives us to the entrance and, as we walk along it, we acknowledge and appreciate the surroundings: the garden, the forest, the swimming pool, the ponds, the sound of the water, the sunshine on the water and its reflection on the concrete-, always walking around a column. As we get closer, the value of the column is made evident as we become aware of its imposing scale.  By the time we reach the front door, the height is reduced and we feel comfortable, we are eager to go inside.

建筑师们开始了进入房子的经验，通过一个明确的环行结构，而我们一点地融入森林，水，海风，并开始享受，当我们离开我们的日常生活和混乱的压力，生活在大城市。我们意识到我们所处的地方，甚至在回家之前就开始度假。

The architects set out the experience of getting into the house through a defined circumnavigation of the structure while we, little by little, incorporate the forest, the water, the sea breeze, and start enjoying as we leave our routine and the chaotic stress of living in big cities behind. We become aware of the place where we are and start our vacations even before entering home.
