01 Carvalho Araújo Casa na Praça Mouzinho de Albuquerque
该项目位于葡萄牙的莫西尼奥·阿尔伯克基广场，该广场是布拉加旧城中心最重要的几个广场之一。基于其特殊的地理位置和复杂的场地条件，设计团队决定将建筑的既有体量、立面以及其内部的一些特色元素保留下来。
The project “Casa na Praça Mouzinho de Albuquerque” repsents the materialization of an exercise of spatial organization within an urban plot with a complex configuration. The location of the building – in one of the main squares in the historic center of Braga, in Portugal – determined the option to pserve the existing volume and façades, and also some characteristic elements inside.
干预的重点是根据业主对空间和设施的需求来适当地调整家庭成员的居住空间，在现有的体量中找到最为合理的空间布局和设计理由。
The intervention focused on accommodating a family program properly adjusted to the spatial needs and facilities that are currently required, finding in the existing volumetry a reason (not a condition) for the distribution and design of the spaces.
空间布局的最大挑战之一是要缩窄住宅后方的地块，因为设计者试图保留部分空间的原始尺度，同时不改变厨房所在的位置。坡屋顶的应用（尤其是在儿童房）让房间显得更加宽敞，从而能够减轻其他必要的区域的面积压力。
The narrowing of the lot on the back facade was one of the biggest challenges in terms of spatial distribution, since it was tried in the interior not to lose the original amplitude of some spaces – namely the room – neither the pvalence and location of the original kitchen. The use of the roof slope – especially in the children’s rooms – allowed to reduce the pssure of the required area for the remaining compartments of the house.
住宅后方扩建了一个新的场地，它摆脱了既有建筑的形式和造型语言，并通过延展地面和背立面的饰面材料来与既有建筑建立联系。空间与空间之间的过渡，以及新旧体量之间的连续性构成了这座房子最重要的特征。
At the back of the plot, a new construction appears that frees itself from the formal and plastic language of the existing one, simultaneously assuming a gesture of rupture and continuity with the existing building, by extending the material of the floor and the back facade. The house results from this transition between spaces and the continuity between the p-existence and the new constructions.
02 Carvalho Araújo Casa na Caniçada
项目坐落于葡萄牙维埃拉多米尼奥(Vieira do Minho)的山谷密林中，毗邻Caniçada水库。场地周边的原生植物与植被密度被最大程度地保留了下来，使建筑隐于自然之中，接受自然的庇护。
Casa na Caniçada is located in a densely wooded area next to the Caniçada reservoir, in Vieira do Minho (Portugal). In the outer space, the intervention was minimized in order to pserve the density of the vegetation, ensuring the feeling of protection provided by the natural surroundings of the land.
住宅由一座现有建筑改造，原建筑结构与体量成为新住宅的依据与起点。这是一座传统的家庭独栋住宅，共有三个楼层。最私密的空间位于最高的楼层，而社交空间则分布在其余两层。
The volumetry of the existing building was the starting point for the definition of a new volume that consists of three floors and where a traditional single-family housing program is distributed. The most intimate program is located on the highest floor, while the social program is spad over the remaining two.
底部楼层向场地开放，将周边优美的自然环境引入自然之中。中部楼层南北立面上均设有大面积的玻璃幕墙，空间开敞通透、极富视觉表现力，同时，中部楼层的玻璃幕墙也形成住宅的主入口与面向水库的景观“画框”。这种设置不仅增强了室内外空间的连续性，同时保证了从茂密的山坡直至水库之间的视觉通透性。
On the lower floor, the house “opens up” to the site, as an invitation to enjoy the surrounding nature. But it is on the middle floor that the house takes on greater expssion through two large openings in opposite facades – one ensures the entrance to the house and the other “frames” the landscape facing the reservoir. Together, they ensure a greater sense of continuity between the exterior and the interior and the visual permeability between the arrival path – through the densely wooded hillside – and the Caniçada reservoir.
03 Carvalho Araújo Geres House
Gerês 住宅坐落在Canicada山谷里的一个斜坡上，那里有一个小房子和一条小溪流。小房子位于一片容易形成山体滑坡的地面上，这也让业主最终决定要将其拆除并选择新的地点重新建造。
该建筑由两个要素组成，建立在混凝土基座上的大型木制体量，并延伸到了陆地和水面之上。建筑主要就使用了这两种材料，这与传统的建筑过程并不一样，并且它还更大，功能更齐全，在此工作和生活充满了乐趣。
新的建筑与土地是以一种非常自然的方式相互融合，建筑利用了土地的陡坡，小溪特有的优势，和周围的自然风景。新住宅从上层进入，这样确保了能够在场地上拥有一个完整的视野，整个建筑构造看上去就像是地面上的一块大石头。而在房子里面，视线范围让我们能够看到下面的土地，那是一条不规则的溪流，在低洼处还形成了一个小湖面。
房子的社会空间具有特别意义，具体表现在它的中央大客厅通过一个大平台可以一直延伸到外面。厨房和服务设施都与客厅安排在相同的层楼，而私密空间都在第二层，他们与第一层之间有个夹层。
