In his first stop on the way home, Ulysses reaches the cave of the Cyclops, a fierce and strong builder who looked through one single point. And there he is locked up until he uses his ingenuity to escape and goes where the winds take him. Cyclopean Prefabricated House is built, using the vigor of the builder, and the ingenuity of the engineer, to start a journey from the place of its manufacture –Madrid- to the place where it can definitely lie -on top of an existing garage, the ugly duckling of the area, located in a calm residential neighborhood of Brookline.

在他回家的第一站，尤利西斯到达了独眼巨人的洞穴，一个凶猛而强壮的建筑工人通过一个点观看。在那里，他被关在那里，直到他用他的聪明才智逃跑，去风带他去的地方。Cyclopean预制屋是用建筑工人的活力和工程师的聪明才智建造的，从它的制造地-马德里-到它绝对可以躺在那里的地方-坐落在现有车库的顶部，也就是该地区的丑小鸭，坐落在布鲁克林平静的住宅区里。

The one-story gloomy construction accommodates the parking, workshop and service spaces, following its basic structural logic, and is completed with the big room built on it by the assembly of the large prefabricated elements that rest after their long transatlantic voyage. This open-plan double-height living area includes the main domestic activities and enables the transformation of the residual building into a two-story residential unit, technologically and spatially adapted to its time and the life of its users.

这座单层阴郁的建筑，按照其基本的结构逻辑，容纳了停车场、车间和服务区，并由大型预制构件组装而成，这些大型预制构件是在其横渡大西洋的漫长航程之后建立起来的。这个开放式的双高度起居区包括主要的住宅活动，并使剩余的建筑能够转变为一个两层的住宅单元，在技术和空间上适应它的时间和用户的生活。

The new architecture concentrates structure and infrastructure in the perimeter: seven beams –of monumental scale- which specialize in one action each -cooking - bathing, storing, seating, dining, sleeping, working, projecting. The rest of the plan is then cleared to be shared by different events succeeding in time and functions have the option to expand into the central space as needed deciding its temporary layout. The seven programmatic beams configure a thick enclosure that minimizes visual contact with the exterior on the three sides that adjoin neighbor houses and creates a big opening on the street side where the interior space can look at the trees in front and imagine itself in the midst of a park.

新的建筑将结构和基础设施集中在周边：七根具有巨大规模的横梁，专门处理每道菜的一个动作。

Complementing this one eye, as beams assemble together embracing space, they lose their mass in the points of contact where flanges touch and the web recesses to provide additional light and ventilation to specific functions. Privacy and thermal insulation is thus guaranteed while maximizing light and view.

作为这只眼睛的补充，当光束聚集在一起拥抱空间时，它们在法兰接触的接触点和网凹处失去了质量，从而为特定功能提供了额外的光线和通风。因此，在最大限度地利用光线和视野的同时，也保证了隐私和隔热。

To avoid overloading the preexisting structure or having to dig new foundations, ultra-light construction systems give form to the new elements: solid cores made of foam -98% air- reinforced by steel profiles and fire-proofed by a thin layer of cement - fibers. Dry joints and material lightness enable the different elements to be produced out of site –including finishes and fixtures- easily transported by ship and regular trucks and quickly placed together following a rhythmic sequence -carefully planned beforehand.

为了避免原有结构超载或必须挖新的地基，超轻建筑系统形成了新的元素：泡沫-98%空气增强的固体芯，钢型材增强，防火用一层薄薄的水泥。

Unlike the heavy, cold stone that prevented Ulysses from leaving the cave, Cyclopean House is light and warm, light due its lack of mass, and due to its air coat. It sits and watches without being seen, interlacing its elements after the trip.

与阻止尤利西斯离开山洞的沉重而寒冷的石头不同，环克劳波宫既轻又温暖，轻是因为它质量不高，也是因为它的风衣。它坐着观看，没有被人看到，旅行后它的元素交织在一起。
