Alferez 住宅的概念源自於森林小屋的靈感，以及處在森林中給予安全感及那浪漫的氛圍。我希望這座建築看起來就像將一個立方體置於樹林間的地面上一樣。
The origin of the concept of Alferez house comes from the idea of a cabin in the wood and its romantic felling of a protective shelter in the middle of the forest. I wanted the house to look like a cube which would have crashed on the floor, among the trees.
該項目設計強調且回應在自然森林環境中獨立住宅的概念，不僅和諧地與自然共處同時提供充分的安全感看顧守護著居住者。建築結構由混凝土製成，揉和浪漫主義的簡樸和現代主義的堡壘作為此項目的立面語彙。為了增強隱私性，底層四周幾乎以牆體包覆，將窗口位置設計安排於內向視野望去，正朝向戶外的松樹林木和天空的高度視野，旨在創造既隱蔽又能與自然互動的空間。
The project responds to the idea of an isolated house in the forest, without ever losing sight on the need for a strong feeling of security ; a house like a vault, made of concrete that protects and cares for its inhabitants. The result is a mix of languages, on one hand the cabin as the romantic part of the project and the other hand the fortress as the brutalist protective part of the project. The ground floor is almost blind , meanwhile the windows are placed on a very high level where you can’t reach them from the outside, opening views toward the sky and the pine trees on the inside.
為了避免基於地形因素而導致複雜且造價昂貴，因此選擇在有限的佔地面積上建造。設計上，透過抬高房屋的高度來解決地形問題，並在房屋的頂部創造次底層，形成一個懸浮在林木之間的屋頂露台，用於早晨的活動區域;而原始牆體的底層則是午後的活動範圍。房屋看似像一個不穩定的幾何方型被擺置在自然坡地之上，南向角度以懸吊式結構，而北側對角則下沉。此建築結構狀態體呈隨性懸掛置於天然地形上，存在著漂浮般的輕盈及混凝土的厚實，這種看似衝突的矛盾卻又相互平衡，形成了獨特對比。
The structural project has a very compact footprint, in order to avoid a complex and expensive foundation due to the topography of the land, with the idea to grow the height of the house to create a second ground floor on top of the house, the suspended rooftop terrace in the middle of the trees. The rooftop is the morning area , meanwhile the natural ground floor is the afternoon area .The house seems like dropped as un unstable box on top of the natural slope of the land, cantilevered on its south corner, and sunken on the opposite north corner. The project recreates the feeling of a cabin suspended on top of the natural topography of its land. The structure expresses this contradiction , generating a singular contrast between the feeling of lightness of a cabin, balanced by the weight of the concrete and the fortress personality of the house.
這個住宅在樹冠間尋找著的光線，與魁梧的松樹林木對話。基於基地面積僅9 X 9公尺，規劃方面避免水平擴展以垂直延伸，此設計手法使至人們可觸及戶外樹枝。建築內部為樓中樓的配置，標準的雙層高度賦予屋內有如教堂般的比例和氛圍，光線從高處頂部的天窗透入空間散布內部四處，平衡缺少開窗而封閉性的底層。
The house is looking for the light among the trees and a relationship with the crown of those majestic pine trees.Following the logic of its compact footprint of 9 X 9 meters , the purpose of the project has been to grow vertically, instead of horizontally, to allow people to touch the branches of the tall pine trees. The configuration of the house has been developed in half levels organized around a double height, giving the house this cathedral feeling and proportion on the inside, with light entering everywhere from the top, through those very high windows and skylights in the ceiling. Then the double height diffuses the light through the entire inner space and compensate the loss of windows on the ground floor.
