架构师提供的文本描述。瓦哈卡宫和工作室是为一位塑料艺术家建造的，由两卷大小相等的作品组成.客户对上层演播室露台的渴望激发了我们创作两卷交错的作品，一卷是顶楼，一卷是较低音量的屋顶，它将成为二楼的露台。内楼梯成为两卷书之间的纽带和枢纽。

Text description provided by the architects. The Oaxaca House and Studio, built for a plastic artist, is composed of two equal-sized volumes. The client's desire for a terrace for the upper floor studio inspired us to create two staggered volumes, one atop the other, where the roof of the lower volume would become the terrace of the second floor. The interior stair becomes the link and pivot between the two volumes.

这所房子坐落在一片不规则的空地上，最靠近地势上最短的一侧，以创造一个广阔的花园，并为朝北的工作室和面向西面的早餐房提供最佳的定位。房子本身就像一道窗帘，保护露台不受午后烈日的影响。

The house is sited on an irregular lot, placed closest to the shortest-length side on the terrain so as to create an expansive garden and to provide the best orientation for the North-facing studio and West-facing breakfast room. The house itself acts as a curtain protecting the terrace from the fierce late-afternoon sun.

这所房子被认为是被围住在它周围广阔的花园里的。构图的主轴将目光引向花园，而室内空间则以巨大的全景开放给繁茂的环境。

The house was conceived as being contained within the expansive garden that surrounds it. The principal axes of the composition lead the eye to the garden as the interior spaces open in large panoramas to the lush surroundings.

房子的调色板起着重要的作用。赤褐色和红色定义了从粘土瓷砖地板和Tezontle皮肤的房子到露台的红土表面的外部。在对立面，室内是温暖色调的木材和白色表面，平衡强度的红色色调的外观，并找到与粉红色的布干维尔利亚和紫罗兰紫色。

The color palette of the house plays an important role. Ochres and reds define the exteriors from the clay-tile floor and the Tezontle skin of the house to the red earth of the patio. In counterpoint, the interiors are of warm-toned woods and white surfaces balancing the intensity of the red-toned exterior and finding harmony with the pinks of the Bougainvillea and purples of the Jacarandas.

结构体系加强了两个交错体积的概念，在木梁结构的屋顶系统中，在第一层支撑第二层的地方，梁的高度再次加倍，强调房屋的概念部分。

The structural system reinforces the concept of the two staggered volumes with roof systems of wood-beam construction where at the points where the first floor supports the second, the beams double their height again emphasizing the conceptual parti of the house.

一个狭窄的外部楼梯，悬臂的音量，连接艺术家的工作室和屋顶露台。在屋顶露台上，扶手变成了长椅，居民可以坐在上面，欣赏远处的瓦哈卡市茂盛的花园和树梢。

A narrow exterior stair, cantilevered from the cantilevered volume, connects the artist´s studio with the roof terrace. On the roof terrace, the handrails become benches from which the inhabitant can sit, admiring the view of the lush garden and treetops with the city of Oaxaca in the distance.

一个中心目标是创建一个有房子的花园，而不是一个有花园的房子。

A central aim was to create a garden with a house as opposed to a house with a garden.
