La Colorada
位於Valle de Bravo，距離墨西哥城僅兩小時的地方，有一座名為La Colorada的住宅。其設計理念主要是突顯自然的重要性，以及為求完美的展現此目的而採取的方式。
Located in Valle de Bravo and only two hours from Mexico City, is La Colorada, a residence whose statement is based on the prominence it gives to nature and the way it takes to achieve it.
這棟房子被美麗、令人讚嘆的大自然包圍著，因此維持土地的原始樣貌是此項目重要的挑戰。在對地點進行分析後，我們確定了土地斜坡上的一個無樹區域，在這裡規劃臥室空間，如此一來不但能利用這斜坡，同時也只需小範圍的開挖。在此基礎上，我們又建造了一個輕質的結構，並採用傳統的建築方式。這樣的設計佈局讓我們得以隱藏下層建築，同時讓上層的公共空間仿佛在樹林漂浮。這個項目最完美成功的地方，在於如何分配空間，將森林成為主角，凸顯這片森林的重要性。
The house is surrounded by incredible nature, so one challenge was to preserve the land practically intact. After analyzing the site, we identified that on the slope of the land, there was an area free of trees, in it we placed a volume for the bedrooms, which allowed us to absorb the slope and have a minimum excavation, on it floats a light structure with a method traditional construction. These intentions allowed us to disappear the lower volume and let the public area float between the trees. The great success of this project lies in the way we managed to distribute the program to give prominence to the forest.
建築概念被設計為兩個錯位部分，區分公、私領域。在頂層，公共區域佔用了最小的建築面積，將空間騰出來給露台；下層部分的私人區域則位在公共區域垂直的位置。另外，寬敞的露台及觀景台延伸至臥室的平台之上；這是一個可以欣賞自然之美的地方。
The architecture is placed as two dislocated pieces that distinguish the public from private areas. On the top floor, the public area occupies a minimal construction footprint to give priority to the terrace; on the lower floor, the private area is located perpendicular to the public area. For its part, the large terrace and viewpoint extend over the deck of the bedrooms; It is a place from which you can admire nature.
公共區域的A型框架是建築的集水系統進行回收，過濾光線、使室內空氣對流作用。之所以決定使用該建築系統，除了功能性的可行性外，從空間上來看，它還創造了屋頂可居住且溫馨的氛圍。一個半開放的客廳與餐廳、廚房以及起居室，搭配其他功能設施，為該層帶來了生活氛圍，露台上則規劃了游泳池及一個休息區域。
The A-Frame building system of the public area collects water for recycling, filters light, and passively ventilates the house. It was decided to use this construction system since, in addition to its functional feasibility, in spatial terms, it generates a habitable roof with a warm atmosphere. A semi-open living room and dining room, the kitchen, and a living area for the family, in addition to the services, feed life on this level. On the terrace is the pool and rest area.
顧及隱私及與森林的緊密連結取得平衡，我們選擇將臥室規劃在下層。臥室面向森林，並規劃一排列柱廊道保護作為緩衝，該柱廊沿著整個建築的長度橫跨。
To balance the desire for privacy with a close connection to the forest, the choice was made to place the bedrooms along the lower floor. The bedrooms open onto the forest and are protected by a portico that runs along the entire volume lengthwise.
一個沉浸式的階梯連接兩個建築體，將寬敞的露台與公共領域及臥室串連起來。這個線性軸線作為一個閾值，連接了房子空間的兩種體驗：沉思（公共區域）與內省（私人區域）。
A submerged staircase between both volumes connects the large terrace and public area with the bedrooms. This circulation works as a threshold that connects the two moments of the house: that of contemplation (public area) and that of introspection (private area).
內部空間的材質充滿了暖色調，使用環保認證木材，牆面則選擇帶有自然的泥土的質地。外部下方的建築面積採黑色外觀，與樹木的色調融合近乎一體；屋頂使用瓷磚，搭配樹皮色調相呼應。
The interiors are filled with materials and warm colors with certified wood and the walls with a natural earthen finish. Outside, the black finish on the lower volume is black to blend in with the tones of the trees and disappear; and tile was chosen for the roof in order to blend in with the bark of the trees.
La Colorada不追求鎂光燈下的焦點，反之，它是一棟與風景完美融合，隱於山林中的住宅。
La Colorada is an architecture away from the limelight, on the contrary, it is a residence that blends with the landscape and at times, disappears among nature.
