架构师提供的文本描述。这所房子的基本价值来源于对周围环境的了解，以及对乡土建筑的研究。我们半干旱的气候让我们开始使用被动的方法，就像白话空间一样，那里有许多资源可以利用：定位、热质量、交叉通风、手工材料和其他行之有效的方法。

Text description provided by the architects. The basic values of this house come from the understanding of the surrounding environment along with the study of vernacular architecture. Our semi-dry climate brought us to the use of passive methods, and, like vernacular spaces, there where many resources to use: orientation, thermic mass, cross ventilation, hand made materials and other proven methods.

利用中央(椭圆形)露台将公共空间和私人空间分隔开来，我们也可以创建一个雕塑花园，它在夏季被雨水淹没以供冷却。交叉通风和外部生活是通过内部空间与梯田和花园的连接来鼓励的。地球是温度的劣质导体，因此局部夯实的土墙在夏季保持温度舒适和凉爽，在冬季保持温暖。由于这一点和计算的太阳摄入量，这房子不使用暖通空调。

The use of a central (oval) patio to divide public and private spaces also allowed us to create a sculptural garden, that it's flooded with rain water in summer for cooling. Cross ventilation and outside living is encouraged through the connection of inner spaces to terraces and gardens. Earth is a poor conductor of temperature, so local rammed earth walls keep the temperature comfortable and cool during summer and warm in winter. Because of this and the calculated sun intakes, this house doesn't use HVAC.

墨西哥主要丧失了用泥土建造房屋的丰富传统。这座房子是该地区第一座利用当地土地和传统的建筑方法，结合现代空间美学、维度、现代生活、生态规划和最佳利用太阳、雨和风等资源的方法，创造一个舒适的环境，而不使用电力手段。

Mexico has mainly lost a rich tradition of building houses with earth. This house is the first one in the region to use local earth and traditional constructive methods joined to contemporary spatial notions of aesthetics, dimensions, modern living, ecological planning and best use of resources like the sun, rain and wind to create a comfortable environment without the use of electrical means.

工人们学会了建设性的方法，因为材料可以便宜地购买，他们学会了建造结构，主要是基于他们的劳动和知识，而不是他们有多少钱。

The workers learned the constructive method and because the materials can be cheaply bought, they learned to build structures based mainly on their labor and knowledge, not on the amount of money they have.
