墨西哥·Cocos之家

Casa en los Cocos位于墨西哥梅里达市的历史中心南部，属于尤卡坦州。该项目的设计来自土地本身的比例，即70米长x 8米宽。

Casa en los Cocos is located in the south of the historic center of Mérida – Yucatán, in Mexico. The design of the project comes from the proportion of the land itself, 70mts long x 8mts wide.

狭长的土地比例在进入场地时营造了强烈的消失点效果。该项目通过从一侧穿越到另一侧来响应这个视角，通过水的引导在整个房屋中实现了这一效果。

The narrow proportion of the land creates a strong vanishing point effect entering the site. The project responds to this perspective crossing from side to side, materializing it with water guiding everywhere through the whole house.

该项目由一系列的碎片化亭子组成，受前西班牙殖民时期建筑启发，并围绕着一个水镜和游泳池展开。两个带有私人花园的卧室亭子位于这个透视图的两侧，以在中心创造一个大的受保护的空间。

The project consists in a serie of fragmented pavilions, inspired by prehispanic architecture and organized around a water mirror and a swimming pool. Two bedrooms pavilions with its private gardens are placed on both side of this perspective, in order to create a big protected void at the very center.

Casa en los Cocos希望在户外创造一种强烈的内向感，让花园环抱着人们和项目的每个空间。中央起居区亭子是房屋的社交部分，悬浮在这个花园上方，开放广阔，让空气和微风穿过。

Casa en los Cocos is looking for a strong sensation of interiority on the outdoor, to let the garden embrace people and each spaces of the project. The central living area pavilion, social part of the house floats above this garden, widely open, letting the air breeze crosses.

Casa en los Cocos的结构围绕其负空间展开，这个空间与其正面的亭子建筑空间一样重要。开放与封闭之间的对比也定义了公共和私人区域之间的边界，将房屋作为一个开放的中央广场连接所有私人空间。这是该项目的核心，社交生活在这里汇聚。

Casa en los Cocos is structured around its negative void space, which is becoming as important as its positive pavilions built space. The contrast between open and closed defines also the border between public and private areas, a house as an open central agora connecting all the private spaces together. This is the heart of the project where social life converges.

以土地比例为设计的起点，并创造这个亲密的中央广场，整个底层和花园成为了一个宽敞的漫步区域。立面不再被需要。花园成为了居住区，邀请人们进行冥想漫步。

Taking the land proportion as a starting point for the design, and creating this intimate central agora, the whole ground floor with its garden are becoming a large strolling area. Facade isn't needed anymore. The garden is the living area, inviting people to a meditation walk through.

该项目摒弃了不必要的元素，专注于基本要素，朝向简约而去。对简约的追求将设计引向清晰抽象的建筑，完全由混凝土、木材和石材等坚固材料组成。所有这些材料都能在时间的作用下变得更加古老而美丽，而不是受到摧毁。

The project is getting rid of the unnecessary to focus exclusively on elemental elements, towards simplicity. This research of simplicity is leading the design to a clean and abstract architecture, composed entirely of massive materials such as concrete, wood and stone. All those materials are able to get old and better looking under the action of time, rather than getting damaged.

时间的概念正在成为建筑的一部分。时间仿佛是一种材料，旨在回归到这种古老而简单的理念，让"时间的光晕"成为项目的一部分。

The concept of time is becoming part of the architecture. The time as if it would be a material, following the purpose of stepping back to this old and simple idea to let  the “patina of time” be part of the project.
