项目Volta之家的第一印象是三座砖砌的穹顶漂浮在瓦哈坎海岸茂密的植被中，就像是该地区湿热的环境所造成的海市蜃楼。顺着一条小路一头扎进绿色中，穹顶就消失了，最大的惊喜是，突然间，一个小空地开阔起来，一个小板凳出现在一个长长的水池旁，两边是门廊，长方形的柱子倒映其中，给人一种来到了一座废弃的古典寺庙的感觉。

The first thing you see when approaching Casa Volta are three brick vaults floating in the middle of the dense vegetation of the Oaxacan coast. Perhaps a mirage caused by the profuse and humid heat of the area. Then, following a small path, one plunges into the green and the vaults disappear. The biggest surprise is when, suddenly, a small clearing opens and a small bench appears next to a long pool of water flanked on both sides by porticoes with rectangular columns that are reflected in it. It gives the impression of having arrived at an abandoned classical temple.

这座房子有着严谨的、卡氏的秩序，这个长方形的平面上被细分为六个也是长方形的空间，其中三个天井和三个由穹窿顶的空间交替出现。在室内的两个房间都配有各自的卫生间，这些卫生间是通过木门和芦苇来开闭的，而第三个空间则是完全开放的，是起居、饮食和烹饪区。在中心，水作为一个永恒的元素，仿佛在提醒着人们这里虽然看不到大海，但离海滩只有100米。

The house has a rigorous, Kahnian order, it is a rectangular plan subdivided into six also rectangular spaces, where three patios and three spaces roofed by vaults alternate. In two of them, the rooms are located with their bathrooms that are opened and closed by means of wooden doors and reed; the third, completely open, are the living, eating and cooking areas. And at the center, the water, as a constant presence, as a reminder of the proximity of the sea, which although it cannot be seen from here, is only 100 meters away.

经济和实用的原则决定了房子的构造。场地附近有一个Casa Wabi基金会，那里有一家专门烤制黏土的工厂，因此我们有机会免费获得许多废砖块，于是设计师们产生了在混凝土结构上再利用砖块的想法，这是一种简单的施工方法，可以满足紧迫的工期要求。另一方面，拱顶与芦苇这种简易的材料能让风一直在内部空间流动，而水则在炎热和潮湿的气候中冷却外部，这一切同时营造了一种温暖和清新的氛围。

An economic and practical circumstance was what determined the materiality of the house. Nearby is the Casa Wabi Foundation, where clay is baked and where there was the availability of obtaining many pieces of waste brick, hence the idea of making reuse brick vaults mounted on a concrete structure. A simple construction method that would allow to meet the tight deadlines that were requested. On the other hand, the vaults, together with the reed lattices, make the wind flow through the interior spaces all the time, while the water cools the exterior, in a climate that is too hot and humid. All this creates an atmosphere of warmth and freshness at the same time.

项目是一个示范，通过一些深思熟虑的元素实现与气候和自然的适当关系。构造性的秩序与周围明显的混乱并不矛盾，相反，它是对自身的补充和融合。它也提醒人们，简单永远是时尚的。这座建筑不仅仅是一座房子，更是丛林中的文明小天堂，是海德格尔也会在这儿避难的小屋。

Casa Volta is a demonstration that with a few well-thought-out elements, an adequate relationship with the climate and nature, can be achieved. The constructive order does not contradict the apparent chaos that surrounds it, on the contrary, it complements and blends itself; it is also a reminder that simplicity is always stylish. More than a house, this construction is a small haven of civilization in the middle of the jungle, the cabin where Heidegger would have taken refuge if he had had a more tropical vocation.
