Nuns住宅

这座房子是在一个废弃的汽车车间的上开始建造的。 一座新的建筑出现在一堵真正巨大而有力的墙后面，这堵墙有一米多厚，守护着历次的记忆，现在它扮演着面向街道的角色。这堵墙为天井空间提供了祖传的宁静，由于摩尔人的长期占领，这是在周围地区常见的设计。 

The house was built from scratch on the degraded space of a vehicle workshop. A new building appears behind a really massive, powerful wall that is more than a meter thick, guarding the memories of successive occupations and that now plays the role facing onto the street. The wall provides ancestral tranquility for the patio house, a common design in the surrounding area because of the long Moorish occupation. 

厚重的墙与轻盈的建筑形成对比，通过墙的力量隐藏和寻求庇护。因此，大型玻璃墙在房屋内部和花园天井之间提供了一个脆弱的边界，因为这一切就是房屋。这里有四间卧室，一个大的休息室和厨房，但也有小的、谨慎的天井和围绕游泳池布置的大花园天井。  

The way that was found to show the wall's character was through the contrasting lightness of the house, which hides and seeks shelter through the force of the wall. Therefore, large glass walls provide a tenuous frontier between the inside of the house and the garden patio, because all of this is the house. There are four bedrooms, a large lounge and kitchen, but there are also small, discreet patios and the large garden patio arranged around the pool.  

在一个比较保留的区域，有4间卧室，向花园开放。  一个中央天井是入口的枢纽，是自然光的来源，主要是一个户外社交的空间。 

In a more reserved area, there are 4 bedrooms that open onto the garden. A central patio is a pivotal point for the entrances, a source of natural light and mainly a privileged zone for socializing outdoors. 

光秃秃的混凝土覆盖了剩下的几面墙，并与灰色的饰面相衔接，如人行道的石头和天花板上的石膏涂层。其余的是城市景观，在多年的历史中建立起来的，这种干预只是一个通道。如果它设法增加任何积极的东西，那是因为建筑正在履行其职责。    

The bare concrete covers the few remaining walls to stress the sobriety of the building and articulate it with the grey finishes, as the stone of the pavements and the plaster coat of the ceilings. The rest is urban landscape, built over years and years of history in which this intervention will just be a mere passage. If it managed to add anything positive it is because the architecture is fulfilling its role.
