架构师提供的文本描述。在尤卡坦半岛北岸一片位于尤卡坦半岛北岸12.5米的土地上，我们被要求设计一套避暑别墅，可以容纳三代家庭：一栋为主人和他们的孩子准备的房子；还有一套供主人父母居住的小公寓。设计房子的最初挑战是实现所有卧室和社交区域都能看到海景，尽管前面已经缩小了。

Text description provided by the architects. On a piece of land located in Uaymitun at the north coast of the Yucatan Peninsula, with 12.5 meters of seafront, we were asked to design a summer house that would accommodate a three-generation family: one house for the owners and their children; and a small apartment for the owner´s parents. The initial challenge on designing the house was to accomplish that all the bedrooms and social areas had an ocean view, in spite of the reduced front to do so.

所提出的要求之一是实现主房子和祖父母公寓之间的独立功能，保持一种统一的感觉，但为双方提供隐私和自主权。外祖父母公寓的部分独立和在底层的便利位置，使房子的规划在地面上纵向分开。这两个地方都有独立的通道，也有朝向大海的完全正面视野。两个部分之间产生了楼层差异，从而给它们提供了隐私，仍然是同一卷的一部分。

One of the requirements posed was to achieve the independent function between the main house and the grandparent´s apartment, keeping a sense of unity but providing privacy and autonomy for both. The partial independence of the grandparent´s apartment and its convenient location on the ground floor, gave rise to a longitudinal division of the house’s program in the ground floor.Both are arranged so they have independent access, as well as full frontal views towards the sea. A difference on floor levels is generated between both parts to give them privacy, still forming part of the same volume.

一组重叠的屋顶和体积(作为概念上的大尺度“台阶”)在从车库区进入房子时表示一系列阈值。随时以海洋为焦点。在底层，社交区域-出入、起居室、餐厅和露台-构成了平面图的中心部分，以线性的方式相互继承，以海景作为终点线的焦点。在西北角，厨房被放置在同一个直线轴上，向露台打开，服务区在后面。

A group of overlapping roofs and volumes (as conceptual big scaled “steps”) presents a succession of thresholds when entering the house from the garage zone. with the ocean as focal point at any given moment. On the ground floor, the social areas - access, living room, dining room, and terrace - form the central part of the floor plan, succeeding each other in a linear fashion, with an ocean view as focal point at the end of the line. In the north-west corner the kitchen is laid in the same linear axis and opens toward the terrace, with the service areas in the back side.

在第一层楼梯上，有三个相同的房间供孩子们使用。为每个卧室提供了平等的环境和相同的视觉关系。为了实现交叉通风，屋顶垂直重叠，形成通风间隙。

On the first level up the stairs lay three identical rooms for the children. Much attention was given to providing equal circumstances and the same visual relationship with the context for each of these bedrooms. To achieve cross ventilation the roofs are stepped and overlapped vertically, generating ventilation gaps between them.

主卧室与房子的主体之间的距离是由一个向上移动的体积，这使第二卧室他们的海景。此外，这种安排允许交叉通风在主卧室和社会区域下面。形式上，它作为一个浮动元素出现在露台上-最常用的社会空间-给它们提供了多样的尺度，并使这个区域成为住宅私人和公共区域的一个伟大的空间表达器。

The master bedroom is separated from the main body of the house by an upward movement of the volume, which allows the secondary bedrooms their ocean view. Additionally, this arrangement allows for cross ventilation in both the master bedroom and the social areas below. Formally it’s presented as a floating element over the terraces –the most used social space- giving them diversity of scales and making this area a great spatial articulator for the private and public areas of the house.
