架构师提供的文本描述。当有机会做这个项目的时候，我们关心的维拉·诺瓦·德·盖亚(Vila Nova De Gaia)在Canidelo的一所家庭住宅开始探索一种建筑对象，它遵守第14×7米地段的限制，这个计划要求他们被开发，我们认为建筑问题是建筑中的基本问题。

Text description provided by the architects. When confronted with the opportunity to do this project, a family house in Canidelo, Vila Nova de Gaia our concerns began to explore an architectural object, which obey the limits of lot 14 X 7 meters, the program required them to be exploited and architectural issues that we consider to be fundamental in architecture.

对世界的解读是通过对抽象几何结构的认识，它就像过去一样，是研究和理解世界上自己的一种美的对象。

The interpretation of the world through the recognition of abstract geometric structures, it was like in the past in present, an object of study and understanding of their own kind of beauty in the world.

从简单的形式到更复杂的，无论是对称的还是平衡的，好的组合方式似乎是固有的一套几何结构，其中的部分和整个工作作为一个整体。

From simple forms to more complex, whether symmetrical or balanced, the composition of a good way seems to be inherent in a set of geometric structures, in which the parts and the whole work as one.

我们接受这些假设为“十八个主题”对我们的机构，我们寻求发展一个物体本身将具有如此强大和如此统一的几何，使任何建筑将在未来的统一(第12批)，永远不会失去权力成为一个单一的建筑对象(1)倾斜于一个外来的元素，另一个(1)。

Accepting these assumptions as "leight motif" to our establishment, we sought to develop an object which itself would have a geometry so strong and so unified that any construction that would unite this in the future (lot 12), would never lose the power to be a single architectural object (1) leaning against a foreign element, the other (1).

在开展这项研究的过程中，出于与地块设计有关的原因，我们承认，正方形，纯粹的形式，可以作为植物和海拔组成的基础，这就导致了空间和空洞的层次性，在不同的维度上都有很大的扩展。

In developing this research, and for reasons that had to do with the design of the lot, we accept that the square, pure form, could serve as a basis for the composition of plants and elevations, which resulted in hierarchy of spaces and voids, which greatly expand in different dimensions.

此外，我们还对“质量”作为空间的维度元素产生器的问题感兴趣，即寻找一种可以挖掘深度的体积，从而产生光和影的第二次作用。

In addition we are also interested in the issue of "mass"as dimensional element generator of space, ie, the search for a volume that could be excavated depths resulting in the second play of light and shadow.

在这座建筑上呈现出近乎超现实的讽刺意味，即“质量”可以悬浮，反射光。

Present on this building almost surreal irony, that the "mass" can levitate, reflecting light.

我们确定，根据大小，出现了一个长方形的身体，可以分裂成两个7x7立方体。地形的配置和与另一片土地之间的差异相当于3米，这使得一个极端的体积可以降落在街道上方的高地上，而剩下的遗留物则明显处于悬空状态。

We determined that, based on the dimensions of the lot, emerged a rectangular body, which could be split into two 7x7 cubes. The configuration of the terrain and the difference betwen a front rank of the land to another, corresponding to 3 meters, which allowed an extreme volume could land at an elevation above the street and the remaining legacy in apparent suspension.

这一次，该项目超越了“传统”的房间和设施，卫生层1，输入、分配区域、厨房、厕所和0层的公共房间，以及社交室、厕所、办公室和车库楼层-1。

This time, the program beyond the "traditional" rooms and facilities, Sanitary Floor 1, input, distribution area, kitchen, toilets and common room on level 0, and social room, toilets, office and garage floor -1.

为了强化几何结构是部分整体的思想，将空间规划分为层次结构和规则结构。(以倍数计)我们原来的7x7平方。

In order to reinforce the idea that the geometric structure is part integral whole, the space program were divided into hierarchical and regular structures. Ie in multiples or fractions of our original 7x7 square.

其中一个似乎很有趣的问题，反映了一种现代化的姿态，那就是身体的构成是通过平衡视觉而不是对称来实现的。也就是说，我们期待着海拔，尽管保持一个定期的基础，找到你的平衡在视觉组成的开放跨度。

One of the questions that seemed very interesting, reflecting a gesture of modernity, is the composition of bodies by balancing visual rather than by symmetry. That is, we look forward to elevations, despite sustained a regular basis, find your balance in visual composition of the opening spans.

另一方面，导致极端的Eesterotómica，整体和部分的概念，作为一个元素，我们选择建造这个质量的白色混凝土，为什么它真的是重要的生产。

On the other hand, and leading to extreme esterotómica the notion of whole and parts as one element, we chose to build this mass of white concrete, concrete, why is it really matter production.

建筑上的康坦内达德和白色，因为它更接近纯洁，和整体。

Architectural contemporânedade and white because it is closer to the purity, and the whole.

除了这些问题或仅仅是与客户的正式和概念性对话之外，与客户的对话始终是建立新边界的动力。

Apart from these issues or merely formal and conceptual dialogue with the customer always served as motivation for establishing new borders.

解决我们认为对卷的正规化至关重要的问题，一开始是要求修正，允许分配，正是这一点，这个项目来自另一个地段，彻底革命了那些最初的前提。

The resolution of the issues we consider essential for the formalization of the volume, began by asking the amendment to permit the allotment, and it is this point that the project comes from the other lot, completely revolutionizing the ones that were the initial premises.

以一种不被认为是结婚的方式的理解，突然，围绕着对称性，形成了以1 1=1再现操作的动力学。这两个家庭，虽然尊重不同的客户，有平衡的两卷，保证了驱动的复杂性，在性质上的分歧空间。

The understanding in a way that was not thought to be married and suddenly, around the symmetry, resulting in dynamics that reproduce the operation with 1 +1 = 1. Two homes that, whilst respect differences among customers, has the balance between the two volumes, guaranteed to drive while the complexity of the divergence in the properties of spaces.

支持空间结构的网格的精确性，通过结合严格的构造、连续性计划、序列排列和立体剖分，从二维延伸到三维。

The accuracy of the mesh that supports the spatial structures, extends beyond the two- dimensionality to the third dimension by incorporating the rigorous construction, continuity plans, the sequence alignments and stereotomy.

最终形式的清除是条件更加严峻，强调质量的白色混凝土和其他材料通过减少表达较小。人们对拳击这一术语的关注几乎等于否定了这个词，把一大块被次品刺穿的方块读回来了。

The clearance of the final form is the condition more severe, emphasizing the mass of white concrete and other materials by reducing the expression smaller. The concern of almost nullify the term of boxing, reading back a massive block pierced by embrasures.

白色混凝土的重要性所保证的连续性，在白天表示阴影的时候就停止了，晚上如果亮了，就会倒转底部的关系。

The continuity guaranteed by the materiality of the white concrete is discontinued when the spans of days to represent shadows, at night if Brighten reversing the relationship so the bottom.

光是构成海拔的决定性因素，也是室内空间的定义、标界图、几十倍，确保等级涉及到物质，并使其本身成为物质。

The light is the determining factor in the composition of the elevations, but also in definition of interior spaces, demarcated plans, score times, ensuring hierarchies involve matter and itself become matter.

任何正式的调查，新的一批都是为了继续已经建立的预演，即使没有曲折或重大超支。

Any formal investigation, the new batch was made to continue the already established premimssas even without twists or major overspending.

两个项目全面确定后，2003年开始项目审批，2006年退出，2009年结束建设。

After the two projects are completely defined, it begins the process of project approval in 2003, otendo to leave in 2006, and ending construction in 2009.

如何不可挽回的条件，我们有270，000欧元的每套住宅的建设，没有可能偏离预算。它发生了一个材料管理，加上简化设计，这在品西皮奥是持续的“少是更多”绝对协调的项目概念。

How an irrevocable condition, we had 270,000 euros for the construction of each dwelling, with no possibility of deviations budget. It happened a materials management, together with the simplification of design, which was sustained in pincípio "less is more " absolutely harmonized with the project concept.

每平方米的成本低于900欧元。这些建筑在两年内建成，采用白色混凝土，浴室里有地板和里加大理石，其中大部分家具都被纳入了建筑，预算也被压碎了。

The cost per square meter was below 900 euros. The buildings are constructed in two years, white concrete, with parquet floors and marble from Riga in the bathrooms, where most of the furnishings were incorporated into the architecture, with a budget crushed.

最终的结果使我们作为建筑师感到满意，反映了我们的专业操守，尽管在建造客户的第12块土地的过程中，我们反对我们的监控。

The end result satisfies us as architects, to be a reflection of our professional integrity, though, during the process of building the client's lot 12, have objected to our monitoring.
