项目：Ma House Architect：Cadaval

Description by Cadaval - Solà-Morales: The commission of the house comes together with the explicit petition to use stone as the main construction material. The decision doesn’t respond necessarily to esthetic reasons but more likely to its common existence in the place, its little need for maintenance and its low cost for built square meter. Such premises are taken as a project challenge both in a structural, typological and esthetic way.

卡达瓦尔的描述

The MA house is set up in the outskirts of Tepoztlán, a small picturesque village of pre-hispanic origins, that has a colonial urban center. Located at 60 Km from Mexico City, Tepoztlán is well known for its sunny days, a comfortable temperature all year long, and its lush vegetation. Water is a key actor over the rainy season, time when nature demonstrates its intense vitality.

MA的房子建在Tepoztlán郊区，这是一个风景如画的前西班牙裔小村庄，有一个殖民的城市中心。Tepoztlán位于距墨西哥城60公里的地方，以阳光明媚的天气、全年舒适的气温和茂盛的植被而闻名。在雨季，水是一个关键的演员，大自然在这个时候表现出其强烈的生命力。

The project for the MA house responds to the search of a bright, wide and comfortable space built through a material that, at first, is hard and uncomfortable: the stone. With the presence of two major mountains on both sides of the plot, and two neighbors in the opposite direction, the house is a basic volumetric exercise: open the views and the main spaces to the mountains, and neglect the openings to the sides; and the definition of a central and open patio, a crack that defines the access of the house. However, this house doesn’t behave as a standard patio-house: typically, those are built through a central space around which all the relations and circulations take place; the MA house, meanwhile, develops all the circulations at its outer perimeter. The house is a succession of spaces with differentiated uses that define the outer limit, a generic geometrical square. On top of such continuity of regular and perimeter circulations, the project overlays a second spatial strategy: the definition of a sequence of open and enclosed spaces; the exterior spaces -roofed patios-, intersect diagonally the volume and break with the rigidity of the perimeter performance.

MA房子的项目是为了寻找一个明亮、宽阔和舒适的空间，这个空间是通过一种材料建造的，起初是坚硬和不舒服的：石头。在地块两侧都有两座大山，而两个邻居在相反的方向上，这座房子是一种基本的容积练习：向山里打开视野和主要空间，而忽略了两侧的开口；以及中央和开放露台的定义，这是一条裂缝，决定了房屋的出入口。然而，这所房子并不像标准的露台房：通常，这些房子是通过一个中央空间建造的，围绕着这个空间，所有的关系和循环都会发生；同时，MA房子在其外围发展所有的循环。房子是一个连续的空间，有着不同的用途，定义了外部界限，一个通用的几何正方形。除了这种定期和周长循环的连续性之外，该项目还覆盖了第二种空间策略：定义了一系列开放和封闭的空间；外部空间-屋顶露台-在对角线上与体积相交，并与周边性能的刚性断裂。

The house is finally drawn as the addition of three pavilions unified by a unique roof, generating two covered patios; the roof is continuous, and rests on top of the structural stone walls that are the main asset of the house, the texture, a rough and imposing material that builds up the space, and reinforces the views and the power of nature. The MA house is a sequence of open and ever-changing relations with the nature; and always, as a backstage, the two immense mountains of Tepoztlán.

这座房子最终被画成三个亭子，由一个独特的屋顶统一而成，形成了两个有盖的露台；屋顶是连续的，坐落在结构石墙之上，这是房子的主要资产，它的质感、粗糙而壮丽的材料构成了空间，增强了自然的景观和力量。马家是一系列开放的，不断变化的与大自然的关系；作为一个后台，泰波兹伦的两座巨大的山脉。
