架构师提供的文本描述。我们的朋友和客户在布宜诺斯艾利斯巴勒莫区发现了这座老房子。这座房子有潜力；然而，在几年来几次不敏感的干预措施对最初的轮廓造成破坏后，它需要完全修复，使它变得阴暗和荒凉。

Text description provided by the architects. Our friend and client found this old house in the district of Palermo in Buenos Aires. The house had potential; however, it was in need of a complete restoration after several insensitive interventions throughout the years had caused damage to the original profile, making it gloomy and desolated.

我们的第一个几乎是独一无二的决定是把房子挖空。这将使光进入尽可能远和更深的地方。首要任务是移除许多外星元素，包括：低矮的悬挂天花板、陈旧的金属窗户、不稳定的露台屋顶和覆盖着原本华丽的卡其色地毯。此外，庭院的内墙和外墙也被拆除。

Our first and almost unique decision was to hollow out the house. This would allow the light to come in as far and deep as possible. A top priority was to remove the many alien elements including: the low suspended ceilings, the obsolete metal windows, the precarious patio roofing and the khaki carpets that covered the otherwise gorgeous. Furthermore, the interior walls and the facades enclosing the patio were demolished.

结果，在分娩的头几周，房子就完全重生了。它已经打开了，现在空气、光和空间中呼吸。

As a result, within the first weeks of labor, the house was entirely reborn. It had opened up and was now breathing in air, light and space.

巨大的木窗现在保护重新发现的内部，带回了质量和温暖的传统材料，同时让光找到它的道路不受阻碍。

Huge wood windows now protect the rediscovered interior, bringing back the quality and warmth of traditional materials, whilst letting light find its path unhindered.

里面的大开放空间被分成两个部分，一个是生活的公共空间，另一个是睡眠的私人空间，由一个独特的低层空间组成：化妆室。自然光在白天照亮它，晚上，当灯打开时，洗手间变成神秘的体积灯。

The big opened space that resulted inside is divided in two, a living-public space and a sleeping-private space, by a singular low-rise piece: the toilette. Natural light illuminates it during the day and, at night, when the lights are switched on, the restroom becomes a mysteriously volumetric lamp.

以前几乎是空荡荡的露台，经过了重大改造。它现在有一个演播室和一个小型家庭影院，还有一个宽阔的绿色屋顶和一个横跨整个房子的游泳池。

The terrace, previously almost empty, was subject to major transformation. It now holds a studio and a small home cinema, along with a broad green roof and a swimming pool that spans the whole width of the house.

这些年来，房子里唯一未掺假的部分是露台和街道正面。没有对这些人做任何事，以保存住在当代的神话般的过去的怀孕的幻想。

The only parts of the house that had remained unadulterated through the years were the patio and the street facade. Nothing was done to these, so as to conserve the pregnant illusion of a mythical past inhabiting the contemporary.
