架构师提供的文本描述。这栋房子位于亚速尔群岛S.Michael岛的北侧。由于这片农田的小气候提供频繁的风和阵雨，第一个设计策略是用墙阻挡这些风，并提供多样化的庭院和有盖的庭院，以防止下雨。这些庭院和庭院也开放了所有的生活空间，以天然绿色的玻璃墙，从外部退却。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is located in the north side of S. Michael Island in the Azores. Since the microclimate of this farmland offers frequent wind and showers, the first design strategy was to block these winds with a wall, and offer diverse patios and covered courtyards to protect against rain. These patios and courtyards also open all living spaces to the natural green by glass walls, which receded from the exterior.

在上层，有更多的封闭和保护的私人房间。类型学遵循几乎古典的Palladian和Scamozzi中央计划设计，起居室有双高，然后有两个侧翼包围着厨房。

On the upper-floor, there are private rooms that are more enclosed and protected. The typology follows an almost classical Palladian and Scamozzi central plan design, with double height on living room, and then two lateral wings enclosing one the kitchen.

房子还使用了从流行的住宅建筑的高烟囱，一个有盖的室内露台，另一个机翼有循环的一楼和屋顶露台。这两只翅膀的尽头是南方的光入口。屋顶可以俯瞰全岛北岸的景色。

The house also uses the high chimneys from popular residential architecture, a covered interior patio, and the other wing has the circulations for the first floor and to the roof terrace. These two wings end with light entrances from the south. The roof offers a wonderful view of all of the island's north shore.
