该项目是哥斯达黎加第一个“夯土”项目。我们完全使用挖掘的粘土来建造所有周边承重墙。

This project is the very first “rammed earth” implementation in Costa Rica.We completely used clay soil from the excavations for the construction of all perimeter bearing walls.

在Uvita镇附近，在海拔300米的一处11000平方米的土地上，我在一个长满丛林的小山上设计了两座小别墅。两座别墅都有一部分悬浮在陡峭的南坡之上，专为短期休闲租赁而设计。每栋建筑面积均为90平方米。

Near Uvita town, on a plot of 11,000 square meters at a height of 300 m above the sea, I designed two small villas on a hill overgrown with a jungle. Both villas, partly levitating above the steep southern slope, are designed for short-term recreational rentals. The built-up area of each of them is 90 m2.

我的意图是设计具有亲近自然的可持续住宅，这将是经过深思熟虑的，同时我赋予它们的造型是强烈的极简主义，且没有不必要的额外元素。别墅的建筑刻意设计出纤细而尖锐的线条感与郁郁葱葱的热带植被形成对比，但所选择的材料和颜色与周围环境完美吻合。

My intention was to design sustainable houses with biophilic interiors, which will be sophisticatedly thought-up and at the same time their shaping will be strongly minimalist and simple,no unnecessary extra element.The architecture of villas is deliberately with its thin and sharp lines in contrast to lush tropical vegetation, but the chosen materials and colors are perfectly coinciding with the surroundings.

两栋别墅在建筑造型上是一样的。材料、平面图布局或朝向也是相同的。然而，它的区别在室内设计中，特别是它的颜色概念，这也部分反映在外观上。

Both villas are architecturally the same. Materials, floor plan layout, or orientation towards cardinal points are also identical. However, it differs in the interior, especially by its color concept, which is partly reflected also in exteriors.

建筑设计基于天然的地理位置——建筑地块朝向太平洋的无尽景色和地形的形态。室内的色彩概念响应了别墅建造前在其所在位置感受到的能量。

The architectural design is based on the genius loci - on the orientation of the building plot towards the endless view of the Pacific Ocean and the morphology of the terrain. The color concept of interiors responds to the energies that were perceived in the location of the villas before their construction.

在这里，选择的颜色概念也是对这些能量的反应，混凝土地板的红色陶土颜色将当地土壤的阴影传递到房子内部。

Here, too, the chosen color concept is reaction to these energies and the red-terracotta color of the concrete floor transmits the shade of local soil to the interior of the house.

刚到这片场地的时候，两座别墅都显得不起眼。两边种着新种植的热带植物。但当你穿过别墅，朝着漂浮的露台走几步，大海的景色就打开了，你会发现自己在宽敞的主卧室里，毗邻的露台和无边的泳池。

Upon arrival, both villas seem very inconspicuous, humble. On the sides they are lined with newly planted tropical plants. But as soon as you pass through the villa, further towards the levitating terraces, after a few steps, the view of the ocean is opening, and you will find yourself in the generous space of the main bedroom with adjacent terraces and infinity plunge pool.

我非常强调所有建筑——建筑细节及其相互制约。

I put an extreme emphasis on all construction – architectural details and their mutual constraints.

夯土墙和混凝土的原始材料由支撑混凝土整体天花板的H型钢结构梁补充。房屋的大梁和圈梁仅在屋顶的上表面可见，屋顶上衬有一对“U”型钢型材。它们还被用来建造屋顶阁楼。

The raw visual materials of rammed earth walls and concrete are complemented by the structural steel H-beams, supporting a concrete monolithic ceiling slab. The girders and ring beam of the house are visible only in the upper face of the roof, which is lined with a pair of steel “U” profiles. They also fulfill the function of the roof attic.

所有面向无尽海景的立面均采用无框玻璃设计。玻璃幕墙的可移动部分和实心部分的轮廓嵌入混凝土天花板的凹槽中。通过这种方式，还安装了室内照明轨道和蚊帐连接轨道以及床周围的窗帘。

All facades oriented to endless views of the ocean are designed from frameless glass. The profiles of sliding and solid parts of the glass facades are recessed into the grooves in the concrete ceiling slab. In this way was also applied the installation of interior lighting rails and the connecting rail for the mosquito net and the curtains around the bed.

极简主义的建筑风格也体现在室内，除了淋浴和卫生间部分的大尺寸滑动门外，室内其他空间是没有门的。建筑还实现了带有大镜子的衣架墙的功能。室内的家具大多是定制的。厨房的桌子、水槽、架子、单独的床头柜或长凳都是由混凝土制成的。

Minimalist architecture is also reflected in interiors, where there is no door except for the large-format sliding panel in the section of the shower and toilet. It also fulfills the function of a hanger wall with a large mirror. The equipment of the interiors is mostly custom-made. Kitchen desk, sink, shelves, solitary bedside tables or bench are made from concrete.
