NAKASONE HOUSE
Escobedo Soliz
這所房子位於墨西哥城外圍的一個非正式社區。對於退休的老師來說，這是一間110平方米的小房子。客戶的預算有限，迫使我們不得不使用當地建築業中最普通和最經濟的材料。其中一種材料是7-14-28厘米的標準實心磚，這些磚通常因其耐用性，熱性能和可用性而在這些社區中使用。
The house is located on an informal neighborhood on the periphery of Mexico City. It’s a small house of 110 m2 for a retired teacher. The limited budget of the client forced us to use the most common and economic materials of the local construction industry. One of those materials is the standard solid brick of 7-14-28 cm used commonly in these neighborhoods for its durability, thermic properties and availability.
我們與當地的勞動力攜手合作，重新詮釋了他們對磚石建築系統的了解，從而獲得了簡單而有力的結果。通過使用簡單的流水磚粘結和厚實的砂漿接頭，我們能夠在更少的時間內用更少的材料建造牆。為了使磚具有更光滑的質地，我們在砂漿新鮮時用另一塊磚將它們拋光。
We worked Hand by Hand with the local hand labor to re-interpret their knowledge on masonry construction systems to obtain simple but powerful results. By using the simple running brick bond and a thick joint of mortar, we were able to build walls with less material in less time. To give the bricks a smoother texture we polished them with another brick block while the mortar was fresh.
該項目最初是在狹窄的小塊土地上由兩座雙露台房子組成，一棟是給客戶的，另一棟是給姐姐的。一旦開始施工，前面的房子項目就被取消了，我們只在基地的後面為客戶建房，在房子前面留了一個大花園。
Originally, the project consisted of two twin patio houses within a small and narrow plot, one for the client and the other one for her sister. Once we started the construction, the front house was cancelled and we only did the house for the client in the back of the plot, leaving a big garden in front of the house.
由於該地區的增長和快速增長，我們估計在5至7年內，周圍的地段將以非常密集和侵入性的方式發展，而我們的房屋將被密集的非正式房屋所包圍。鑑於當前環境的這一特點，我們決定設計一種磚混結構的磚砌主體，該磚砌主體具有向內部露台開放的混凝土骨架，以保護視野中其他鄰居的視野。
Due to the increasing and fast growth of this region, we estimate than in a period of 5 to 7 years, the surrounding lots will develop in a very dense and intrusive way, leaving our house enclosed by a dense informal housing. Because of this characteristic of the immediate context we decided to design an intrusive body of brick with a concrete skeleton that opens to an inner patio to protect the views from the other neighbors to the plot.
這個露台是整個項目的核心。房屋用混凝土框架加固，可以抵禦該地區的常見地震。我們使用在地形中發現的火山石建造房屋的地基，平台，樓梯和外牆。火山石與房屋的磚皮在白天和黑夜可以一起調節房屋的溫度。兩間臥室建在淺色木製甲板上，為下面的主要公共空間提供了溫暖美麗的木製天花板。所有服務和流通區域均沿線性脊柱放置，而起居空間則位於包圍露台的房屋中。
This patio is the core of the whole Project. The house is reinforced with concrete frames to stand the common earthquakes of this region. We used the volcanic Stone that we found on the terrain to build the foundations, platform, stairs and exterior wall of the house. The volcanic stone, together with the brick skin of the house, regulate the temperature of the house during the day and night. The two bedrooms are built over a light wooden deck that gives a warm and beautiful wooden ceiling to the main public spaces below. All the service and circulation areas are located along a linear spine, while the living spaces are located in the arms of the house that enclose the patio.
