In the rolling rural area of Puerto Varas, Chile, the stunning House GM, which is just as angular and decorative as it is solid and comfortable, was recently completed by cutting edge design teams at EXTCO.

在智利瓦拉斯港滚动的农村地区，令人叹为观止的豪斯通用汽车公司(House GM)最近在EXTCO的前沿设计团队中完成了这项工程，它的角度和装饰性就像它的坚固和舒适一样。

Technically, the area that the house actually sits in is part of a city. Because it sits on the outskirts, however, the atmosphere is a little more rural and country inspired, which is part of the reason for the home’s unique shape and foundation. The land rolls and dips in several places but designers wanted to build something that interrupted the natural habitats there as little as possible, so they chose a structure that works with the landscape instead of digging into it.

从技术上讲，房子实际上所在的区域是城市的一部分。然而，因为它坐落在郊区，所以这里的气氛更受乡村和乡村的启发，这也是这个家独特的形状和基础的原因之一。土地在几个地方滚动和倾斜，但设计师想要建造一个尽可能少地破坏自然栖息地的东西，所以他们选择了一种与景观一起工作的结构，而不是深入挖掘。

The shape and materiality of House GM was also chosen in part to account for the fact that it is located in an area know for being quite rainy and humid in terms of climate for most of the year. This particular spot also typically experiences high winds, so there was quite a large need for a solid foundation and strong material choices. Making these decisions as also influenced by the fact that the project had a relatively low budget and required cost efficient choices wherever possible.

之所以选择通用汽车的形状和重要性，部分原因是因为它位于一个地区，在一年的大部分时间里，气候都是非常多雨和潮湿的。这个特殊的地点通常也会经历大风，因此有相当大的需要坚实的基础和强大的材料选择。作出这些决定也受到项目预算相对较低的影响，并在可能的情况下要求成本效益较高的选择。

To keep the house level across uneven land, it was built raised slightly on stilts, like a wooden deck but all throughout. In some places the stilts are very short and the house sits low to the ground, while in others it looks as though it is raised very high up. This keeps the interior floors and the deck space surrounding the outside of the exterior even for walking on and furnishing, while letting the land slope below the only available spot to fit an entire house relatively uninterrupted.

为了把房子的水平保持在不平坦的土地上，它就像木制的甲板一样，在高跷上稍稍抬高，但自始至终都是如此。在有些地方，高跷很短，房子离地面很低，而在另一些地方，它看起来很高。这使得内部地板和甲板空间保持在外部，即使是在步行和装修的情况下，同时让土地坡度低于唯一可用的地点以相对不间断地安装整个房屋。

In this way, the structure of the house provides quite a lot of visual appeal without even really trying to be decorative. So does the way floor to ceiling windows are featured in each end of the house to keep it well and naturally lit with sunlight, but decks and those same windows are simultaneously shaded from wind and rain by large alcove style overhands in the peaked roof.

这样，房子的结构提供了相当多的视觉吸引力，甚至没有真正尝试装饰。从地板到天花板的窗户也在房子的每一端都有特色，以保持它的良好和自然的阳光照明，但甲板和相同的窗户是同时遮住风和雨水的大凹式的屋顶上的上方。

The way the roof itself peaks upward, standing so tall in its solid frame made of reclaimed local wood throughout the interior and exterior, is more than just nice to look at; it’s also an homage to the typical architectural style of the area. Designers added a few extra, super fun touches to the outside to make it stand out, though. For example, a kids’ slide hooks to the edge of the deck at one end, letting dwellers slid down from the raised portion of the house rather than just using the stairs. These neat, modern details create a cool contrast with the seemingly rural wooden style and cultural shape of the rest of the house.

屋顶本身的上升方式，站在坚固的框架中，整个室内和外部都是用再生的本地木材制成的，这不仅仅是一个很好的观察，它也是对该地区典型建筑风格的一种敬意。设计师增加了一些额外的，超级有趣的触摸，以使它脱颖而出，尽管。例如，孩子们的滑梯钩到甲板一端的边缘，让居住者从房子的高处滑下来，而不仅仅是用楼梯。这些整洁的，现代的细节创造了一个凉爽的对比，似乎乡村的木制风格和文化形态的其余的房子。

Because the house was built for a busy young family, the layout of its interior was pegged as needing free flow and open spaces that are good for moving between rooms, communicating, and bonding. The light shades (primarily white and light, natural wooden colours) of the interior decor scheme contrast well with the darker wood of the facade outside, making the rooms feel like and airy in combination with those lovely big windows we mentioned earlier. This helps the atmosphere stay cheerful during long, grey days of rain during certain seasons.

因为这所房子是为一个忙碌的年轻家庭而建的，它的内部布局被认为需要自由流动和开放空间，这些空间有利于房间之间的移动、交流和联系。室内装饰方案的浅色(主要是白色和浅色，天然木色)与外墙较暗的木材形成了良好的对比，使房间与我们前面提到的可爱的大窗户结合在一起，感觉就像和通风一样。这有助于气氛保持愉快，在长时间，灰色的日子下雨，在某些季节。

At the same time as the light interior benefits the family, the dark exterior does as well! In certain places, black plates have been place to absorb as much heat as possible from the day’s sunlight in order to keep the house’s temperature regulated as well as possible, making the house more green and less reliant on mechanical heating and cooling systems.

同时，光的内部有利于家庭，黑暗的外表也是如此！在某些地方，黑色盘子被用来吸收白天阳光下尽可能多的热量，以便尽可能地调节房子的温度，使房子更加绿色，减少对机械加热和冷却系统的依赖。

In the event that a chilly day means the black insulation plates aren’t enough, the family can gather around the central wood burning stove that sits in the middle of the primary social space. Besides looking fantastically decorative in a sort of locally rustic way (you might notice the lumber piled on the deck to keep the stove running adding a particular character to the outdoor space as well), this piece also heats the inside from the centre outward whenever necessary.

如果寒冷的一天意味着黑色的绝缘板是不够的，家庭就可以聚集在位于主要社交空间中间的中央燃木炉周围。除了以一种当地乡村的方式看上去非常有装饰性(你可能会注意到堆放在甲板上的木材，以保持炉子的运转，也为室外空间增添了一个特定的特征)，这件作品也在必要时从中心向外加热内部。
