Girona-based studio Arquitecturia’s latest residential offering is a shimmering home near Barcelona

For some reason, the typology of most homes is that of a single volume in which are gathered all living spaces and utilities. Which makes this family home by the Girona-based studio Arquitecturia a rather fascinating case study in thinking, literally, out of the box.

出于某种原因，大多数家庭的类型是一卷集所有的居住空间和公用设施。这使得这个家庭在吉罗纳的工作室Arqustructuria的家成为一个非常吸引人的案例研究，从字面上来说，是一种打破常规的思维方式。

Located in a residential neighbourhood in Catalonia’s St Cugat del Vallès, the Barcelona House presents itself as four shimmering cubes of varying proportions that loop around a central courtyard. Like the classic Balinese home that’s comprised of several salas, each volume here is dedicated to a specific function, whether bedroom, kitchen or living room.

位于加泰罗尼亚的圣库加特德尔瓦莱斯的住宅区，巴塞罗那大厦呈现出四个不同比例的闪闪发光的立方体围绕着一个中央庭院。就像经典的巴厘岛住宅，由几个Salas组成，这里的每一卷书都是专门用于特定功能的，无论是卧室、厨房还是客厅。

Clad in silvery corrugated sheets, these volumes fit together like Tetris-blocks, their interiors linked to one another by glass corridors that double as light-wells and conservatory. Meanwhile, the buildings’ southern orientation, together with strategically placed awnings, allowed the architects to insert oversized vitrine-like windows and doors.

这些卷包着银白色的瓦楞纸，像俄罗斯方块一样合二为一，它们的内部由玻璃走廊连在一起，玻璃走廊是轻型水井和温室的两倍。同时，这些建筑的南面，加上策略性的天篷，让建筑师们可以插入超大尺寸的玻璃窗和门。

As a result of so much diffused lighting coupled with the extensive use of white walls and lightly-hued cross-laminated timber fittings, there is a dreamy sense of floating, especially when the windows and doors are all open for cross-ventilation.

由于如此多的漫射照明加上广泛使用白色墙壁和浅色调的交叉层合木配件，有一种梦幻般的漂浮感，特别是当窗户和门都打开进行交叉通风时。

The greenery, especially inside the house, is no accident. The client, says Arquitecturia’s co-founder Olga Felip, had ‘a very special sensitivity for plants and she wanted to find a place inside the house where she could show off her Ikebana. So, we started thinking from there.’

绿色植物，尤其是房子里的绿色植物，不是偶然的。阿奎图里亚的联合创始人奥尔加·费利普(Olga Felip)说，这位客户对植物有一种非常特殊的敏感性，她想在房子里找到一个地方，在那里她可以炫耀自己的宜家(Ikebana)。所以，我们开始从那里开始思考。

On several fronts, the Barcelona House represents something of a highwater mark for Felip and her co-founder, Josep Camps, the latter noting that the project has pushed the 12-year-old studio into a new series of designs that explore the relation between nature and gardens and interior domestic spaces. ‘Proximity to nature improves our quality of life and we are exploring how to achieve this in domestic spaces by imagining, first, a garden or small gardens and intertwining this concept with the interior spaces and requirements of the brief.’ §

在几个方面，巴塞罗纳大厦对费利普和她的联合创始人乔塞普·夏普来说是一个很高的标志，后者指出，这个项目已经把这个有12年历史的工作室推向了一个新的系列设计，探索大自然与花园和室内住宅空间之间的关系。“尽可能接近自然提高了我们的生活质量，我们正在探索如何在家庭空间中实现这一点，首先是想象一个花园或小花园，并将这个概念与内部空间和简短的要求交织在一起。”
