On an expansive corner plot in the city of Cabreúva in Brazil, creative design and architectural teams at Taguá Arquitetura have recently finished a luxuriously open concept escape home called BT House.

在巴西Cabreúva市的一片广阔的角落里，TaguáArquietura的创意设计和建筑团队最近完成了一项名为BT House的奢华开放概念逃离住宅。

Although the house is L-shaped, which is a structural shape typically used to separate homes by volume according to function, this particular house is actually open concept, without a lot of hard delineation between spaces, volumes, or functional rooms. Instead of being partitioned, the rooms are defined by the way they are intentionally situated to face the same direction.

虽然这座房子是L形的，这是一种结构形状，通常用来根据功能将房屋按体积分开，但这个特定的房子实际上是开放的概念，不需要在空间、体积或功能房之间进行大量的硬划分。房间不是被隔开的，而是由它们有意地面对同一个方向的方式来定义的。

Of course, with a patio and pool space like this house has out back, the direction that each space faces is absolutely towards the pool! This is true not only for the more social and public spaces on the ground floor, but also all the way up to the second storey where the bedrooms and private resting space areas face the same way.

当然，有一个露台和游泳池空间像这房子的后面，每个空间面对的方向绝对是朝着游泳池！这不仅适用于底层更多的社会和公共空间，而且一直延伸到第二层，在那里卧室和私人休憩空间都面临同样的情况。

This arrangement of rooms establishes a sort of physical and visual integration of interior and exterior spaces that feels incredibly continuous and very fluid in its energy and the way it moves. Not only does this create a calming connection with the pool space and the sunny blue waters, but it also highlights the beauty of the home’s own gardens, which grow lush and green around the pool.

这种房间的布置建立了一种内部和外部空间的物理和视觉集成，其在其能量和移动的方式中感觉到令人难以置信的连续和非常流体。这不仅与游泳池的空间和阳光充足的蓝色水域建立了平静的连接，而且还突出了自家花园的美丽，它在游泳池周围生长郁郁葱葱和绿色。

Part of the reason the pool is made such a focal point of the house is that the owners literally listed a desire for fantastic social and leisure spaces as one of their very top priorities within their home plans, right from conceptualization. This is why designers made the pool, patio, and garden such a primary spot in the house, like a hub of rest, activity, socialization, and peace.

泳池之所以成为这座房子的焦点，部分原因在于，从概念化的角度来看，业主们把对梦幻般的社交和休闲空间的渴望列为他们最优先考虑的项目之一。这就是为什么设计师把游泳池、露台和花园作为室内的主要场所，就像休息、活动、社交和平的中心一样。

Besides their love of leisure spaces, the owners also wanted a home that was quick in its construction and would look clean and concise in its finished product. This largely determined the materiality chosen by design and architectural teams, resulting in that linear, beautiful system of steel pillars, beams, and slabs that can be found all throughout the house, from roof to deck.

除了对休闲空间的喜爱外，业主们还希望有一座能快速建造的房子，并在其成品中看起来干净简洁。这在很大程度上决定了设计团队和建筑团队选择的重要性，从而形成了钢柱、梁和板的线性、美观的系统，从屋顶到甲板都可以在整个房屋中找到。

All along the northwest side of the home’s facade, where living areas face the sun and gather lots of natural light on a daily basis, designers created walls inspired by a large glass curtain to maximize on the stunning energy sunlight creates. They minimized the heat from that sun, however, by using a special glass that is capable of blocking out up to 70% of the UV rays that would otherwise flood in.

在家庭立面的西北侧，居住地区每天面对太阳，每天聚集大量的自然光，设计师们创造了由大型玻璃幕墙激发的墙，最大限度地利用令人惊叹的能量阳光。然而，它们通过使用能够阻挡高达70％的UV射线的特殊玻璃来最小化来自太阳的热量，否则会被洪水淹没。

Many of the other walls are made of similar amounts of glass, and most of them slide open as well. This really hits the concept of creating integrated spaces home, which was one of the owners’ main priorities. Because the glass walls retract to eliminate almost any separation between living spaces and open air leisure spots, the house is also extremely efficient when it comes to ventilation, rather than just lighting.

许多其他的墙壁是由类似数量的玻璃制成的，其中大多数也是滑动打开的。这确实打击了创建集成空间家园的概念，这是业主的主要优先事项之一。由于玻璃墙的收缩，几乎消除了生活空间和露天休闲场所之间的任何隔阂，因此，在通风方面，这所房子也是非常高效的，而不仅仅是照明。

The windows aren’t the only parts of the house that contribute to the sustainable systems included in the house. In addition to the UV blocking glass, designers also used thermoacoustic tiles, steel deck braces, steel structures in both the interior and exterior walls, rainwater recycling cisterns, PVC frames, and solar energy panels for lighting and power.

窗户不是房屋的唯一一部分，这有助于房屋中包括的可持续系统。除了UV阻挡玻璃外，设计者还使用热声瓦片、钢甲板支撑、在内部和外壁中的钢结构、雨水回收池、PVC框架和用于照明和电力的太阳能电池板。

Another interesting feature of the house’s actual shape itself is the way the “L” allows the garage to give the patio and pool area a little bit of extra privacy thanks to the way it is situated compared to the street and the view from the public sidewalk. This means the steel and glass facade of the house is very apparent in the visual fabric of the street-scape, making it stand out as an example of contemporarily beautiful home architecture.

房子实际形状的另一个有趣的特点是，“L”允许车库给露台和游泳池区域一点额外的隐私，这要归功于它相对于街道的位置和公众人行道上的风景。这意味着房屋的钢和玻璃立面在街景的视觉结构中是非常明显的，这使它成为当代美丽的住宅建筑的一个突出的例子。

The combination of materiality and atmosphere is another aspect of integration very present in the house, similar to the blending of interior and exterior spaces that takes place all across the back of the building. The industrial influence that’s inherent in the steel structures creates a beautiful contrast and sense of balance against the backdrop of the peaceful, stunning pool waters and surrounding garden.

重要性和气氛的结合是住宅中非常存在的另一个集成方面，类似于内部和外部空间的混合，这些空间在建筑物的后面全部发生。钢结构固有的工业影响力在和平、惊人的水池和周围的花园的背景下创造了一个美丽的对比和平衡感。
