该公寓位于巴塞罗那市区，其主人是一位小号手和一位日本天体物理学工程师。建筑师在项目初期对多个场地进行了调研和分析，旨在能够充分地满足两位业主的需求。

The operation starts with a previous research process addressed to choose the proper location for the house of a trumpeter and a Japanese astrophysical engineer, who are based in the city of Barcelona. Each location that was analyzed gave us the clues of how to respond to their needs that were eventually taken into account for the final proposal.

房屋所在的场地拥有巴塞罗那十九世纪城市规划的典型格局，公寓本身的布局也十分常见：两侧的大型空间，以及用来连接这两个空间的细长的中央区域。既有房间的层高为2.8米，利用这一优势，建筑师沿着较长的一侧将公寓分为两层，强调出空间的线性特征。这一做法创造了两个平行的环境，它们各自形成专属的空间和动线。

We face, once again, a typical typology of the XIX century urban plan of Barcelona, where the apartment plan is organized by two large spaces at the ends and a central zone of elongated proportions that connects them.Taking advantage of a 2.80m height, we propose to divide the apartment into two levels following the longitudinal direction and emphasizing this way its linear character. This gesture will result in two parallel environments that will generate themselves both spaces and movement.

起居室被设置在朝向街道的主立面内，另一端则是主浴室，它作为房间自然循环的一部分，将光线从后方立面过滤进室内。二层按序布置着一系列多样且相互联系的空间，包括书房、餐厅、厨房、办公空间、储物间和带有更衣室的卧室。在两个层次的过渡区域设有双面的固定家具，能够满足住宅必要的功能需求。

We distribute the space placing the living-room towards the main façade to the street, and at the opposite end the main bathroom, that being part of the natural circulation of the house, will work as a light filter coming through the back façade. At the second level, a sequence of diverse but connected uses –in order: library, dinning, kitchen, office,  storage  and  bedroom  with  dressing  area-,  and  at  the intersection of the platforms, two-sided furniture pieces will provide the functional requirements of the house.

家具的两端各有一个花池，在为室内引入绿植元素的同时打破了固定家具带来的边界感。

Finally, two objects stand out of this “limit”, anchored as ball joints in the midpoints of the main spaces. They consist of big pots that allow us to introduce vegetation inside, but most important, to visually connect both ends through the repetition of a singular element.

两个楼层选用了两种不同的材料：一层地面铺设了大尺寸的白色瓷砖，二层则选用了木地板。垂直构件以不锈钢包覆，借助反射效果为室内带来了更多自然光线。除此之外，隔音材料为空间赋予了更多柔软和温暖的质感，与钢质元素形成对比。

The proposal is reinforced by using two materials, one for each level, a pavement of large-format white tiles in the lower area, and wood in the upper part. The vertical elements are covered with stainless steel generating reflections and increasing the presence of natural light inside the house. In addition, the requirement of a soundproof study  is  used  to  introduce  a  softer  and  warmer  character  through  materiality, performing in opposition to steel.
