架构师提供的文本描述。“Casa 8”位于巴西利亚的一个住宅小区，是一个家庭住宅，它通过材料的选择指出建筑的简单性，并呼吁采用自然的纹理。建筑设计方法旨在探索房子内部和外部环境的整合。该建筑采用钢筋混凝土结构，仅为一层楼，布局非常简单，位于一个20米宽、80米长(1.600平方米)的场地内，以尽可能保护尽可能多的植被面积。

Text description provided by the architects. Located in a residencial neighbourhood in Brasília, Brazil, the “Casa 8” is a family residence that points out the simplicity of architecture through the materials choices with a plea for natural textures. The architectural design approach intends to explore the integration among the house´s internal and external ambiences. With a steel concrete structure, the building is a one story house only, with very simple plan, located in a site that is 20 meters wide and 80 meters long (1.600m²), in order to preserve as much vegetation area as possible.

作为一本书，乍一看，它看起来就像一个封闭的盒子，它把自己描绘成一堵高达3.5米的高墙-不需要篱笆或大门，而是在房子前面为公众提供了一个花园。尽管如此，通过穿过主入口，穿过人行道上的长廊，行人意识到内外空间是相互混淆和相互完善的。这种印象是由经认证的木材制成的旋转门(侧立面)和滑动门(后门面)造成的。

As a volume, at first sight it looks like an enclosed box that presents itself as a 3,5 meters height wall to the street – eliminating the need of fences or gates, and offering the public a garden in front of the house. Even though, by crossing the main access door and walking through the sidewalk by the promenade, the pedestrian realizes that inside and outside spaces get confused and complete each other. This impression is given by the pivoting doors (side façade) and sliding door (back façade) made of certified wood.

内部空间分为三个不同的类别。公共/集体空间：厨房、图书馆、餐厅和客厅。支持空间：车库，洗衣房，仓库和服务浴室。和亲密的空间：卧室和浴室。这些最后的空间是由另一个，配置中心的房子，并保留最受限制的活动。

The inside spaces are organized in three different categories. The common/collective spaces: kitchen, library, dining room and living room. The support spaces: garage, laundry, storage and service bathroom. And the intimate spaces: bedrooms and bathrooms. These last spaces are involved by the other, configuring the center of the house, and preserving the most restricted activities.

房屋的照明和通风由两个互补系统组成。周边区域(厨房、图书馆、通道、餐厅和客厅)由侧面的旋转门和后面的滑动门充分通风和照明。当门打开时，提供了一个有效的自然空气循环系统。在房子的核心，亲密的空间，是通风和灯光通过音乐学院在一些卧室，而玻璃屋顶在另一些。

The lighting and the ventilation of the house is constituted of two complementary systems. The peripheral areas (kitchen, library, access, dining room and living room) are fully ventilated and illuminated by the pivoting doors on the side and by the sliding door in the back. When opened, the doors offer an efficient system of natural air circulation. The intimate spaces, in the core of the house, are ventilated and lightened through conservatories in some of the bedrooms, and glazed roofs in other.
