梅森住宅

阿尔加维位于葡萄牙南部滨海，位于阿尔加维内陆的São Bartolomeu de Messines村就是最好的证明，它远离了占据整个海岸的大规模旅游业，并被整个地区的山脉所包围。São Bartolomeu de Messines的历史可以追溯到1180年，最初由阿拉伯人居住。我们的项目就位于这个偏远的村庄。周围有山谷，山脉和两个水库，Funcho水坝和Arade水坝。

Algarve, in the South of Portugal does not only live by the sea. Proof of this is the village of São Bartolomeu de Messines, municipality of Silves - located in the interior of the Algarve, far from the mass tourism that occupies the whole coast, and privileged by the mountains that surround the whole region. The history of São Bartolomeu de Messines refers to 1180, originally populated by Arabs, when D. Sancho I conquered Silves. It is in this remote village that our project is located. Surrounded by valleys, mountains and two reservoirs, the dam ofFuncho and the dam of Arade.

项目Messines之家是基于一个的采光非常好的现有建筑的改造，事实上，有一个已建成的结构是我们能够在这个风景如画的地方出现这样一个作品的唯一原因。由于各种当地法规的限制，我们必须将项目 "叠加"到现有的老房子上，在纵向轴线上将其主体向南延伸。

The "House of Messines", is based on an existing building, already in ruins, but with a fantastic orientation East-West, and with a rhythm of openings for light source already very inviting. The fact that there was a built structure was the only reason we were able to emerge such a work in this picturesque place. Due to the diverse bureaucratic restrictions of implantation, it was mandatory to "overlay" the project to the existing ruin, extending its body in the longitudinal axis towards South.

为了优先考虑景观和自然光，在东面的立面上重现了窗户的节奏，当体量向北折叠时，窗户完全打开并留下一个悬空的角落。

Privileging the views and natural light, the rhythm of windows were recreated in the East facade, opening completely and leaving a hovering corner when the volume folds to north.

房子的内部是一个大空间，设计师优先考虑了社交区域（客厅、餐厅和厨房）的流动性和交流，但在卧室所在的私人区域以及服务入口处，则是很私密的空间。

The interior of the house is a large space that prioritizes fluidity and communication in the social area (living room, dining room and kitchen), but closes and limits its access in the private area where the bedrooms are located as well as the service entrance.

为了尊重周围的环境，同时也为了避免不必要的阻碍，我们选择将游泳池设在屋顶上，在一个不接触地面的空间里，完全悬浮在空中。这个决定保证了屋顶作为房子的第二个社交区域，即使在泳池内也能欣赏到360度的壮丽景色。

As a form of respect for the surroundings and not to obstruct more than necessary, we chose to locate the pool on the rooftop, in a volume which doesn't touch the ground, and is completely suspended in the air. This decision guarantees a total access to the rooftop as a second social area of the house, privileging the magnificent 360º views, even being inside the pool.
