Recent winner in the American Architecture Prize, the Three Cusps Chalet is a very peculiar building, documenting this region’s history and diaspora, and combining typical 19th century Portuguese architecture and urban design with an unexpected alpine influence. This influence was brought by an historic wave of rich Portuguese returning from Brazil in the eighteen hundreds (significantly influenced by central-europeans building Brazil’s second industrial revolution).

最近获得美国建筑奖的“三尖碑”是一座非常奇特的建筑，记录了这一地区的历史和侨民，并将19世纪典型的葡萄牙建筑与城市设计结合在一起，产生了意想不到的高寒影响。这一影响是由十八世纪从巴西返回的富有的葡萄牙人的历史浪潮带来的(主要受中欧人建造巴西第二次工业革命的影响)。

Conceived as an annex serving the small palace by its side and siting at the heart of both the roman and medieval walls of Braga, this is a particularly sunny building with two fronts, one facing the street at West and another one facing a delightful, qualified block interior plaza at East, enjoying natural light all day long. The program of Three Cusps Chalet asked for the cohabitation of a work studio and a home program.

这是一座坐落在罗马和中世纪布拉加城墙中心的小宫殿的附属建筑，它是一座阳光明媚的建筑，有两条战线，一条面向西大街，另一条面向东部一个令人愉悦、合格的室内广场，整天都在享受自然的光线。Chalet的“三尖”节目要求一个工作室和一个家庭项目共同居住。

The building’s identity had been lost in 120 years of small unqualified interventions, over-compartmenting it, closing it to the street and to the light. Its façade was equally adulterated: modern aluminum window frames and exterior shade head boxes changed the openings’ stereotomy, the building’s scale and detail, and disrupted the original sense of the street.

这座建筑在120年的不合格的小干预中已经失去了它的身份，它的隔间过大，把它封闭在街道和灯光下。它的外墙也同样被掺假：现代铝制窗框和外部遮阳头盒改变了开口的立体结构、建筑的规模和细节，破坏了街道的原有感觉。

The goal of this design was to clarify the building’s spaces and functions, returning it to its original image, constructive techniques and (mainly habitational) program, while simultaneously making it fit for today’s way of living, giving it back to the city and potentially constituting a model for future rehabilitation projects in the neighborhood.

这一设计的目的是澄清建筑物的空间和功能，使其恢复原来的形象、建设性技术和(主要是居住)计划，同时使其适合当今的生活方式，将其送回城市，并可能成为该社区未来重建项目的典范。

The façade was restored to its original glory, reinstating the original wooden window frames and preserving the delightfully decorated eave. The interior recuperated the original spacial and functional distribution, wooden floors and ceiling structures and the original staircase, while introducing Portuguese Estremoz marble on the wet areas and ground-floor.

门面恢复了原来的辉煌，恢复了原来的木制窗框，并保留了装饰精美的屋檐。内部恢复原来的空间和功能分布，木地板和天花板结构和原来的楼梯，同时引进葡萄牙埃斯特雷兹大理石在潮湿地区和底层。

A 1,5 m height difference between the street and the block’s interior plaza allowed to place the working area on the ground level, turning it westward and relating it to the street. This façade is bathed with the afternoon light.

街道和街区内广场之间的1，5米的高度差允许将工作区域放置在地面上，向西转，并将其与街道相关联。这个门面沐浴着下午的阳光。

The domestic program relates with the interior plaza and the morning light. The interior plaza is punctuated by several orange trees: these provide a delicious shadow during the summer and display a beautiful show during winter, covered with bright fruits.

国内节目与室内广场和晨光有关。室内广场上点缀着几棵橙色的树木：这些树在夏天提供了一个美味的影子，在冬天展示了一场美丽的表演，上面覆盖着明亮的水果。

Given the reduced area of the building, the original strategy of hierarchizing spaces by floor was followed. The stairs are narrower with each flight of steps, informing the changing nature of the spaces it connects. The staircase geometry efficiently filters the visual relations between both programs while still allowing for natural light to seep down from the upper levels.

考虑到建筑面积的减少，采用了原有的按楼层划分空间的策略。楼梯每一层台阶都会变窄，这说明了楼梯所连接的空间的变化性质。楼梯几何有效地过滤了两个程序之间的视觉关系，同时仍然允许自然光从上层渗出。

The first floor of Three Cusps Chalet was kept for the social program of the house. Refusing the natural tendency for compartmentalizing, the staircase was allowed to define the perimeters of the kitchen and living room, creating an open floor with natural light all day long. Light enters from the kitchen in the morning, from the staircase’s skylight and from the living room in the afternoon.

三尖的一楼，Chalet是为房子的社会计划而保留的。楼梯拒绝了分隔的自然倾向，允许确定厨房和客厅的周长，创造出一种整天都有自然光的开放式地板。早晨从厨房，从楼梯的天窗，下午从客厅进来。

Climbing the last narrow flight of stairs we reach the sleeping quarters where the protagonist is the roof, whose structure was kept apparent, though painted white. On the other side of the staircase there’s a clothing room, backed by a bathroom.

爬上最后一段狭窄的楼梯，我们到达了睡觉的地方，在那里，主角是屋顶，虽然漆成白色，但屋顶的结构仍然很明显。楼梯的另一边是一间衣帽间，后面有一间浴室。

The white color is methodically repeated on walls, ceilings, carpentry and marble. The clothing room is the surprise at the top of the building. Both the floor and roof structure appear in their natural colors, surrounded by closet doors constructed in the same material. It reads as a small wooden box, a counterpoint to the home’s white box and to the marble box of the bathroom. Courtesy of v2com

白色在墙壁、天花板、木工和大理石上按方法重复。服装房是大楼顶部的惊喜。地板和屋顶结构都以其自然颜色出现，周围是由相同材料构造的壁橱门。它像一个小木箱，与家里的白色盒子和浴室的大理石盒子相反。由v2com提供。
