Casa Palmar最近由UZAA-Urrutia Zurmendi Arquspecttas Asociadas完成。这座房子的建筑面积为72平方米，位于乌拉圭的蒙得维的亚。

The architect’s description: The house is built on a small plot. It is an almost square corner, 72 m2, in a central area of the city of Montevideo. The thick wall that encloses the corner forms the outer expression of the house, as opposed to the thin glass skin that relates the interior space. The lower levels of the house, where we have the height of the existing building, deals with the social areas, creating an integrated domestic space from the visual point of view, and fragmented from the functional point of view. The upper level is reserved for the most private area of the house.

建筑师的描述：这所房子建在一个小块地上。它是蒙得维的亚市中心的一个几乎正方形的角落，面积72平方米。包围角落的厚壁形成了房子的外部表现形式，而不是与室内空间相关的薄玻璃皮。房子的较低层，我们有现有建筑的高度，处理社会领域，从视觉角度创造一个完整的家庭空间，从功能的角度来看是支离破碎的。上层是为房子最私密的地方预留的。

The project has two main themes, the geometry of the plan and the verticality of the interior space. The geometry produces a balance between interior and exterior space, almost fusing them with the transparency of the walls, the design on the different floor heights and the continuity of flooring, while the idea of vertical space tries to maximize the cubic meters relative the original few square meters, taking advantage of recycling the space but not tempted to subdividing it. Restrictions present the option of recycling, which enabled the complexity and spatial richness proposed by the house.

该项目有两个主要主题，几何的规划和垂直的室内空间。几何学在内部和外部空间之间产生了一种平衡，几乎将它们与墙壁的透明度、不同楼层高度的设计以及地板的连续性融为一体，而垂直空间的概念则试图使相对于原来的几平方米的立方米最大化，利用空间的循环利用，但无意细分它。限制提出了回收的选择，这使得房子提出的复杂性和空间丰富性。

The simple and abstract square defines the center point of the house which is materialized as a hinge between the horizontal and vertical spaces of the house. Thus, the staircase plays a crucial role integrating the different levels of the project in its further development. Two perpendicular axes and four quadrants that are associated two by two define the functional levels and spatial qualities. The introversion of the house allows one to enjoy the advantages of the northern orientation privately and without interference. Photos Federico Cairoli

简单而抽象的正方形定义了房屋的中心点，它是作为房屋水平空间和垂直空间之间的铰链来实现的。因此，楼梯在项目的进一步发展中发挥着整合项目不同层次的关键作用。两个相互关联的垂直轴和四个象限定义了功能层次和空间质量。房子的内倾使人能够私下和不受干扰地享受北方的优势。照片：Federico Cairoli
