El Fabricante of Espheras recently have completed Vernacular Penthouse in Valencia, Spain.

埃博拉斯的法布里坎特最近在西班牙巴伦西亚完成了当地的顶层公寓。

Description by architect: I remember my grandmother telling me how her house was, full of light and joy… The Vernacular Penthouse is a chance to reflect about Valencian houses and a possibility to experiment between traditional and contemporary architecture.

建筑师描述：我记得祖母告诉我她的房子是怎样的，充满了光明和欢乐…。白话阁楼是一个反思瓦伦西亚住宅的机会，也是在传统建筑和现代建筑之间进行实验的可能性。

Between the Valencian farmlands, there’s a village whose landscape is dominated by orange trees. An ancient brick factory recalls the splendours of a past time. Near the city centre, and surrounded by buildings of the 20th century, there’s an empty dwelling that became Vernacular Penthouse. You can hear the blinds opening to let you see the tiled roofs of the neighbourhood, while the light has the leading role, filling the whole house. Under your feet, a carpet made of clay invites you to walk barefoot.

在瓦伦西亚的农田之间，有一个村庄的景观被橘子树所主宰。一家古老的砖厂回忆起过去的辉煌。在市中心附近，周围环绕着20世纪的建筑，有一座空荡荡的住宅，变成了乡土式的顶层公寓。你可以听到百叶窗打开，让你看到附近的瓦片屋顶，而灯光起主导作用，充满了整个房子。在你脚下，用粘土做的地毯邀请你赤脚行走。

Just after going through the main door, you can find the larder, full just as my grandmother would have desired; that’s where everything needed in a current kitchen is hidden. Furthermore, there’s the house’s table, large and long, where the family meets around for meals. In the dining, two protected windows light up the room. The ceramic skirting board reminds me of my grandmother’s house and the white wooden blinds are rolled up to let the Sun bathe the living. The sea wind goes through the windows to the other side of the house. You can feel the fresh breeze.

刚过正门，你就能找到储藏室，就像我祖母想要的那样满了；这就是当前厨房所需要的一切都被隐藏起来的地方。此外，还有一张房子的桌子，又大又长，一家人在那里聚餐。在餐厅里，两扇受保护的窗户照亮了房间。陶瓷镶板让我想起了祖母的房子，白色的木制百叶窗卷起，让太阳给活人洗澡。海风从窗户吹到房子的另一边。你能感受到清新的微风。

One step forward, there’s a curious device, called “aiguamans” by my grandmother; a new-ancient furniture that hides the washbasin and generates some privacy. Its materials are kind to the white ceramic, the clay and the whitewashed walls.

向前一步，有一个奇怪的装置，被我祖母称为“爱瓜曼人”(Aiguamans)；一种新的、古老的家具，它隐藏了洗脸盆，产生了一些隐私。它的材料是善良的白色陶瓷，粘土和粉刷墙。

Through the corridor, a weak golden light follows you, creating an atmosphere between light and dark that envelops the bedroom. The bathroom is open to the corridor, so they both benefit from the other. The furniture that was larder in the kitchen becomes a wardrobe here. Wooden blinds hide the clothes and the path to the bath, making the house tidy.

穿过走廊，一盏微弱的金色光跟着你，在光线和黑暗之间营造出一种笼罩着卧室的气氛。浴室对走廊是开放的，所以他们都受益于另一个。厨房里的家具变成了衣柜。木制百叶窗遮住衣服和洗澡的小道，使房子整洁。

Clay has been our fellow traveller, guiding us through the penthouse. Every step has been made on the presence of this infinite carpet. I’m sure that my grandmother would like living in Vernacular Penthouse, she would feel just like home.

克莱一直是我们的旅伴，带领我们穿过阁楼。每一步都是在这块无边的地毯上走过的。我敢肯定，我的祖母会喜欢住在当地的顶层公寓，她会感觉就像家一样。
