Casa Cabo de Vila was built on a hilltop in Paredes, a municipality in Portugal’s Porto district. The architects at Spaceworkers conceived the house as a delightful adornment for the lush natural surroundings. Casa Cabo de Vila’s organic shape was inspired by the idea of movement rather than emphasising a sense of stability: if it was a fluid shape, the layout of the house could be described as a square whose corners have been pulled outwards. “We wanted a shape that can fill the void left by the valley and at the same time we wanted this new shape to embrace and reflects the surrounding green areas giving its users a special perspective on the landscape.” says architect.

Casa Cabo de Vila建在葡萄牙波尔图区的Paredes市的一个山顶上。太空工作者的建筑师们把这座房子看作是对繁茂的自然环境的一种令人愉快的装饰。卡萨·卡波·德·维拉(Casa Cabo De Vila)的有机造型灵感来自于运动的理念，而不是强调一种稳定的感觉：如果它是一种流动的形状，房子的布局可以被描述为一个方形，它的角已经向外拉。“我们想要一个能够填补山谷留下的空白的形状，同时我们希望这个新的形状能够拥抱和反映周围的绿色区域，让用户对景观有一个特殊的视角。”建筑师说。

The effect highlights the concrete structure, made up of two extensive, thick horizontal parts which are squashed together to create the base and the roof. The space between the two is home to one floor containing all the rooms: a spacious living room and kitchen, three bedrooms and bathrooms and a garage. Mirroring the tension between the two blocks is the tension between the four corners. The imaginary movement between the parts is reflected in the continuous glass and wood facades, sliding walls which open the interior space up wide to the exterior. There is a sharp contrast between the severity of the two horizontal planes and the impermanent immobility and lightness of the glass and wood walls.

这种效果突出了混凝土结构，它由两个粗大、厚实的水平部分组成，这些部分被挤压在一起，形成了基础和屋顶。两个房间之间的空间有一层，里面有所有的房间：一个宽敞的客厅和厨房，三个卧室和浴室，还有一个车库。反映两个块之间的张力是四个角之间的张力。各部分之间的假想运动反映在连续的玻璃和木材正面，滑动的墙壁打开了内部空间，向外延伸。两个水平平面的严重程度与玻璃和木墙的非永久性、不动性和轻盈性形成了鲜明的对比。

Inside, the house reflects the way of living of his owners. The central courtyard welcomes anyone who enters the house and organizes all the common spaces around it like a no end space. Here, there are no barriers between the different spaces, only an organic geometry that establishes hierarchies between them and that allows mutual visual contact. Like in the common areas the main bedroom is a fluid space without doors, where the hierarchy of the relations between the closet the bathroom and the sleeping area shapes the space.

里面，房子反映了他主人的生活方式。中央庭院欢迎任何人进入房子，把周围的所有公共空间安排得像一个无尽头的空间。在这里，不同的空间之间没有障碍，只有一个有机的几何学，在它们之间建立层次，并允许相互视觉接触。就像在公共区域一样，主卧室是一个没有门的流动空间，在那里，壁橱、浴室和睡区之间的等级关系塑造了空间。

The great weight of the roof is supported by concrete walls and pillars which run through to the interior like veins in a living organism, creating an unrestricted layout and a semi-structured space. Casa Cabo de Vila’s layout seems to want to stretch over the ground as if it had no real borders, but yearned to take in the nature, the ground and the forests stretching into the distance.

屋顶的巨大重量是由混凝土墙和柱子支撑的，这些墙和柱子像活的有机体中的静脉一样贯穿内部，创造了一个不受限制的布局和一个半结构化的空间。Casa Cabo de Vila的布局似乎想要伸展到地面上，仿佛它没有真正的边界，但渴望把大自然、地面和森林伸向远方。

A minimal number of walls sketch out the floor plan of the house which is framed by light, moveable glass and wood surfaces. Instead of being shut off or permanently excluded from the exterior, the interior space seems poised to reach outwards. A first level is created by the huge solid base which matches the floor plan in size and lifts the house up from the ground. A second level is formed by the concrete casts which extend out from the house towards the two entrances, one pedestrian and one vehicular, both of them leading downwards. With raw materials inside and outside, the Casa Cabo de Vila establish a perfect connection with the surroundings ready to grow hold with the nature.

最小数量的墙壁勾勒出房子的平面图，这是由光线，可移动的玻璃和木材表面框架。室内空间似乎准备向外延伸，而不是被关闭或永久地排除在外部。第一层是由巨大的坚实基础创造出来的，它与平面图的大小相匹配，并将房屋从地面上抬起来。第二层是由混凝土浇筑而成，从房屋延伸到两个入口，一个行人和一个车辆，这两个入口都是向下的。里面和外面的原材料，卡萨卡波德维拉建立了一个完美的联系，准备与自然成长的环境。

The way in which the perimeter expands outwards pierces the concrete at its core, forming an opening in the block which is given over to nature once again. Now we see that the entire layout rotates around the central feature, an open glass patio which recreates a fragment of the nature surrounding the whole house. Two circles form the access to the interior: the first from the inside outwards, a corridor which leads into the garage and the three bedrooms; the second from the inside to the inside and from the large, multipurpose day area towards the inside of the patio.

周长向外扩展的方式使混凝土在其核心处穿，形成一块又一次交给自然的洞口。现在我们看到，整个布局围绕着中心功能旋转，一个开放的玻璃露台，重建了整个房子周围大自然的碎片。两个圆圈形成了通往室内的通道：第一个从内向外，一个通向车库和三间卧室的走廊；第二个从内到内，从大的、多用途的日间区域一直延伸到庭院的内部。
