架构师提供的文本描述。葡萄牙奥瓦尔的房子是一项活动，在那里，我们把一些想法和概念延伸到极限，而这些想法和概念在很长一段时间内已经包含在其他项目中，而这些项目从未得到落实。它也是一个项目，最重要的是，它允许与其他人一起思考自己居住的方式。

Text description provided by the architects. The house at Ovar, Portugal, is an exercise where we stretched to the limit a number of ideas and concepts for a long time already contained in other projects, which had never been put in place. It is also – and above all – a project, which allows for thinking with other people about their own way of inhabiting a dwelling.

该大型工程占地680平方米，位于不太稳定的沙土上，使我们能够把房子作为一个连续体来思考。需要将房屋的主要规划设计为一楼，这意味着空间之间的差异是通过几何形式的不同高度实现的：就其重要性和意义而言，最具表现力的区域，如游泳池和画家工作室，或街道入口的身体，都具有更多的表现力和更高的形式。

The large-scale project, covering 680m2, to be located on not very stable sandy soil  allowed us to ponder the house as an object which develops in a continuum. The need to design the main programme of the house as a ground floor meant that the difference between spaces was implemented by means of variable heights in geometric forms: in respect of their importance and meaning, the most expressive areas such as the swimming pool and the painter’s studio or the body of the entrance from the street acquire more expressive and more elevated forms.

混凝土中的物体的概念，一种传统的雕塑材料，似乎隐含在这个概念中，设计的海拔与水平和倾斜的表面，直到覆盖。走廊的长度被用来分配所需的功能和大面积，进一步创造了剪影计划，允许与景观的关系，不同的森林地区将被建造建议户外休闲。

The idea for the object in concrete, a traditionally sculptable material, appears implicit in this concept, designing the elevations with level and sloping surfaces up to the coverage. The length of the corridor is used to distribute the desired functions and large areas, further creating clipping plan, which allow for a relation with landscape, with the various wooded areas to be constructed suggesting outdoor leisure.
