Manuel Cervantes Estudio

Amatepec住宅项目建在墨西哥城的一个地区，该地区的地形条件决定了其朝向峡谷的方向。

该住宅的正面非常窄，面向街道14米，长77米，这让我们分析如何实现所有区域都有良好的照明，并与外部联系。

Housing in Amatepec is a project built in an area of Mexico City that has a determinant topographic condition toward a ravine.

The property has a very narrow front, 14 meters towards the street and a length of 77 meters, which made us analyze how it could be achieved that all areas will have good lighting and relate to the outside.

进入住宅的主要通道是一个几乎是盲目的体块，衬以白色陶瓷材料，在不同的体块之间创造了一种光影游戏。

The main access to the house is given with an almost blind volume lined with white ceramic material that creates a game between light and shadows with the different volumes.

使用现有的蓝花楹作为芳香花园的中心，形成了通往一层的行人入口。这个通道位于距离人行道1.5米的地方，目的是不突出体量，尊重地面。

Using an existing Jacaranda as the center of an aromatic garden, the pedestrian entrance to the ground floor is generated. This access is located at 1.5 meters from the sidewalk level, with the aim that the volume does not stand out and respect the ground levels.

该项目在一层由三个体量组成，其中整合了一个社交区、客厅和餐厅，作为一个多功能空间，允许与不同的绿地和外部社交空间共存。在另一个体量中，厨房(根据客户的条件)可以选择成为两个同时使用的空间，最后是书房，这两个空间通过走廊连接，走廊与不同的绿色区域相连。

The program consists of three volumes on the ground floor that integrate a social area with a living room and dining room, as a multipurpose space that allows coexistence with the different green areas and an external social space. In another volume is the kitchen which has the option (given the conditions of the client) to become two spaces of simultaneous use, and finally the study, both spaces connected by a corridor that is articulated with the different green areas.

Santana House

Valle Santana已经被小心地放置在它的场地和自然环境中。从一开始，设计就试图充分利用建筑的比例和开放空间。利用一棵现有的树木作为入口庭院的中心，创造了一个供人们聚集的空间;它还连接到卧室和公用区域，从每个起居区域都可以看到森林的开阔视野。

Valle Santana has been carefully placed on its site and within the natural context. From the outset, the design sought to take full advantage of the property’s proportions and open spaces. Using one of the existing trees as the heart of an entry courtyard, a space is created for people to come together; it also connects to the bedrooms and utility areas, with open views onto the woods from every living area.

住宅有一个裸露的木结构，基于一系列重复的框架、单一的坡度和屋顶的设计，创造了不同的区域。除了木材，其他当地材料包括用于地板和一些墙壁的石材，结合粗糙纹理的灰泥和用于其他墙壁的裸砖。综合的效果提供了从元素的保护，以及从街道的隐私，提供进入财产，同时也开放全景——总是有一种材料存在于周围区域的感觉。

The house has an exposed wooden structure, with a design based on a series of repeated frames and a single pitch and roof, and which creates the various areas. Apart from timber, the other local materials include stone for the flooring and some walls, combined with rough-textured plastering and bare brick for other walls. The combined effect offers protection from the elements, as well as privacy from the street that provides access to the property, while also opening panoramic views -always with a sense of materials existing at one with the surrounding area.

该项目包括一个起居室——休息室、餐厅和厨房——可以适应不同的社交场合。同样的空间通向室外露台。倒影池和按摩浴缸将室内外与自然联系起来，窗框的设计有助于加强这种联系。

The program consists of a living area -lounge, dining room and kitchen- that is adaptable for different social occasions. This same space leads onto an outdoor terrace. A reflecting pool and jacuzzi connect both the interiors and exteriors with nature, and the window frame design helps reinforce this connection.

这个生活区通过走廊连接到一间书房和三间卧室，走廊通过灯光、纹理、明暗和景观提供了愉快的对比效果。那间带客用浴室的书房兼作电视室。根据家具的使用方式，它可以是工作空间，也可以是客房。三间卧室都有一间更衣室和浴室，还有一个屋顶平台，可以看到树林的透明景观。家具都是就地制作的，使用的石材饰面和结构本身使用的木材，都是空间和功能整体整合的一部分。

This living area is linked to a study and three bedrooms via corridors which offer pleasantly contrasting effects through lighting, textures, chiaroscuros and landscapes. The study with a guest bathroom doubles up as a television room. Depending on how its furnishings are used, it can either be a work space or a guest bedroom. Each of the three bedrooms has a combined dressing room and bathroom, and a roofed terrace for a diaphanous view onto the woods. The furniture was all made in situ using stones finishes and the same wood as used for the structure itself, all as part of a total integration of the space and its function.

景观是项目的中心，通过使用区域植物产生建筑与自然之间的过渡，进一步增加了项目寻求的一体化感。

The landscape is central to the project by generating a transition between the building and nature, through the use of regional plants, further adding to the sense of integration sought by the project.
