项目Cova住宅位于太平洋和Oaxaca山脉之间，它从地面上升5英尺，以防止来自230英尺外海岸的洪水。这是为两个家庭设计的住宅，它由两个私密的建筑组成，两个建筑由一个共同的中央区域相连接。

Casa Cova is located between the Pacific Ocean and the Oaxaca mountain range. It strategically rises 5 feet from the ground to prevent the flooding coming from the 230 feet away coast. Its design was conceived for two families and it consists of two private wings connected by a common central area.

中央体量由两端的两个入口组成，穿过格子状的墙，有助于公共空间的交叉通风和采光。该体量的顶部是一个100英尺长的茅草 "palapa"屋顶，可以降低热带天气的温度，提供阴凉，让热量从结构的顶部排出。

A large central volume is flanked by two entrances on either end that pass through a lattice-like wall, helping to cross ventilate the common spaces and allow light in. The volume is topped by a 100 feet long thatched "palapa" roof that cools tropical temperatures and provides shade and space for the heat to escape through the top of the structure.

两个平行的侧翼体量是私人空间，由混凝土结构板系统构成。混凝土结构的使用和内部装修的选择都是为了满足当地的需求，该地的日照强度和空气盐度要求使用一种低维护的材料，并能使其经久耐用。

The two parallel wings that house private rooms are enclosed with a system of structural concrete panels. The use of concrete for the structure and the selection of interior finishes respond to local needs. The intensity of the sun and the salinity of the place required the use of a low–maintenance material that would age finely.

Cova住宅的主要房间、相互交错的规划和高高的天花板，让我们想起Mitla遗址的巨大房间的交替高度，与殖民前地区建筑中常见的小型私人通道并列放置。当地材料的使用，如Parota木与秸秆，让我们能够识别并联系到这个地方的特色环境。"

The main rooms, the interlocking plans and the high ceilings of the "Casa Cova", seek to remind us of the alternate heights of the massive chambers of the archaeological ruins of Mitla, juxtaposed with the smaller private passages commonly found in pre-colonial regional architecture. As well as the use of local materials such as parota wood, straws of dried palma tree that allow us to identify and connect with the characteristic environment of the place.
