Lisbon-based Camarim Arquitectos has completed in 2014 Casa na Gateira. The Gateira concrete house is built on splendid heights of Portugal.

总部设在里斯本的卡玛里姆·阿奎科托斯已经于2014年完成了卡萨·纳·盖特拉。Gateira混凝土房屋建在葡萄牙壮丽的高地上。

Description by Camarim: Gateira is a hamlet placed on a beautiful hill planted with vineyards, pines and olive trees with splendid views over the southern tip of Serra da Estrela, the highest point in mainland Portugal. The clients – a British couple – wanted a second home to give them space, open air and silence, in contrast to their life in London.

卡米里姆描述：Gateira是一个小村庄，坐落在一座美丽的小山上，种植着葡萄园、松树和橄榄树，俯瞰葡萄牙大陆最高点Serra da Estrela的南端。这对客户-一对英国夫妇-想要第二个家给他们空间、露天和安静，这与他们在伦敦的生活形成了鲜明对比。

The first question: how to design on such a dramatic landscape, with an unusual balance between nature, agriculture and traditional architecture? Our strategy was to interfere as little as possible: one enters the house in the upper part of the plot, through a wall that evokes the region’s traditional slate buildings, and descends onto the house’s core – a social space split in 2 levels. From this space, the house’s volume breaks and extends along the topography in a subtle yet effective separation between social and intimate i.e. every space sits on a different level and has direct access to the outside. We may say that instead of a house in the landscape we thought of a house from the landscape, as though building a walk in the countryside.

第一个问题：如何在这样一个戏剧性的景观上进行设计，在自然、农业和传统建筑之间取得不寻常的平衡？我们的策略是尽可能少地干预：一个人通过一堵墙进入地块上部的房子，这堵墙唤起了该地区传统的石板建筑，并延伸到了房子的核心-一个2层的社会空间分裂。从这个空间里，房子的音量在地形上破裂和延伸，在社交和亲密之间微妙而有效地分离，即每一个空间都在不同的层次上，直接进入外部。我们可以这样说，而不是在风景中的房子，我们想到的房子从景观，就像建设在农村散步。

Beyond the romantic notion of a well-grounded house, extensive contact with the ground gives enormous energy benefits: we use the earth’s endless thermal mass to balance air thermal amplitudes throughout the day and seasons. The patio between the living room and the master bedroom is also a passive thermal device: it creates a thermal differential between the swimming pool and the patio, which generates an ascending air flow across the house for cooling in spring and summer, and it allows intensive insulation of the most innermost point in the house in autumn and winter.

除了一座接地良好的房子这一浪漫概念之外，与地面的广泛接触也带来了巨大的能源效益：我们利用地球无尽的热质量来平衡白天和季节的空气热振幅。客厅和主卧室之间的露台也是一种被动式的热装置：它在游泳池和露台之间创造了一个温差，在春季和夏季产生上升的气流在房子里冷却，它允许在秋季和冬季对房子最里面的地方进行密集的绝缘。欲了解更多信息，请访问卡马里姆阿奎托斯。
