西班牙马德里，1988

Pozuelo, Madrid, Spain 1988

这座住宅是业主在其建筑师朋友中的招标而得来的结果。

This house is the result of a competition the owners called for amongst their architect friends.

该住宅位于半山腰上，是一座10 x 10 x 10米的白色立方体“小屋”，既体现了对建筑规范的严格遵守，又体现了建筑方法的最大经济性。

The topography, midway down a hillside, the rigorous compliance with building codes, and the maximum economy of means were compositionally resolved in a white and cubic "hut" that measures 10 x 10 x 10 meters.

这个白色立方体建筑分成两个部分：北部和南部，北部设有服务区，南部设有生活区。 北部包含一个中心带，设有浴室、抽水马桶和楼梯。 卧室和厨房均朝正北。 位于生活区的客厅和饭厅采用双层高度，书房设在最高点。 书房俯视饭厅，饭厅俯视客厅，形成一个三层高度的对角空间。 与立面齐平的玻璃窗，以及整体采用的白色，彰显了这座白色小屋的立方体结构。

The white cube is divided in two: the northern half, with the service areas, and the southern half, with the served spaces. The first includes a central strip with bathrooms, water-closets, and stairs. The bedrooms and the kitchen face directly north. The living room and dining room, located in the served half, are of double height, with the study in the highest point. The study peers over the dining room, which in turn looks upon the living room, thus producing a diagonal space of triple height. The cubic nature of this white hut is accentuated by the window glazings flush with the facade, and by the color white with which all is resolved.

这座住宅的中心主题是“光”，光线从东至西南射过，通过窗户和缝隙得以采集，在移动过程中成为这个项目的空间主角。 简单地说，这是一个被对角光线穿过的对角空间。

Light, the central theme of this house, is gathered, captured, by windows and slots as it makes its journey from east to southwest, becoming, in its movement, the spatial protagonist of this project. Simply, it is a diagonal space pierced by a diagonal light.
