架构师提供的文本描述。有两个年轻的朋友在Vila Madalena社区的一栋大楼的底层买了一套公寓。虽然那里的生活很紧张，但它保留了圣保罗居民区的一些田园气息。

Text description provided by the architects. There were two young friends who bought an apartment on the ground floor of a building in Vila Madalena neighborhood. Although life there is intense, it keeps some bucolic aspects of São Paulo residential neighborhoods.

他们开始经常有像他们这样的年轻人，一些巴西人和一些外国人，作为客人在小房间的后面一段时间。然后，他们注意到，他们可以利用房间，以更多的舒适接待客人。

They started often having young people like them, some Brazilian and some foreigners, as guests in the small room in the back for a short while. Then they noticed that they could use the room to receive guests with much more comfort.

之所以选择“Puxad尼奥”，是因为它指的是一种在巴西城市非常常见的非正式建筑，同时，它也是一种很好的方法，可以识别这座建筑的独特特征，并将其与以前的建筑联系起来。

The name “Puxadinho” was chosen because it refers to a kind of informal building very common in Brazilian cities and, simultaneously, it was a nice way of identifying the peculiar feature of the building, enclosed to the previously existing one.

项目和企业面临的挑战首先是预算非常有限，除了空间小和难以进入建筑工地之外。

The challenges for the project and for the undertaking were, at first, the very limited budget, besides the small space and difficult access to the building site.

第一步是拆除一幢非常不稳定的现有建筑物，并建立两个房间和一个浴室，以便单独或一起使用，从而扩大该地区的容量。

The first step was to demolish the existing building, a very unsteady one, and to create two rooms and a bathroom which could be used separately or together, therefore, extending the capacity of the area.

然而，在整个过程中，有可能确定在客人不使用卧室的情况下扩大社会区域的机会，以及利用屋顶种植植物和作为休闲和日光浴区的可能性。

However, throughout the process, it was possible to identify the opportunity to extend the social areas while the bedrooms were not used by guests and the possibility of using the rooftop to grow plants and as a leisure and sunbathing area.

这扇门是为创造新的预期动力而采取的关键解决方案。

The door was a key solution adopted to create the new intended dynamics.

在文学或哲学中，门通常有一个隐喻意义，将它们与未来的几种可能性或机会的终结联系在一起。在字典条目中，门意味着显示入口或定义出口。

In literature or in philosophy, doors usually have a metaphoric meaning that connects them to several possibilities in the future or to the closing of opportunities. In the dictionary entry, doors are meant to show entrance or define exits.

但普萨迪尼奥的情况并非如此：它是主要因素，对不同空间的灵活性负责，扩大或限制它们，但总是在社会领域和私人空间之间建立几个层次的融合。

But it is not the case of Puxadinho: there it is the main element, accountable for the flexibility of different spaces, extending or restricting them, however always establishing several levels of integration among the social areas and the private spaces.

通过这扇门，同一个灵活的区域可以打开三种可能性之一：客厅和套房，或者是带卧室和浴室的起居室，或者是两间卧室和一间浴室。

Through the door, the same flexible area may open up one of three possibilities: a living room and a suite, or, a living room with a bedroom and a bathroom or, then again, two bedrooms and a bathroom.

屋顶，将外部区域延伸到楼上，除了提供城市的独特景观外，还融合了以前设计的其他用途。

The rooftop, which extended the external area to the upstairs level, besides offering a privileged view of the city, incorporates the other previously designed uses.

施工系统采用砖混层状混凝土砌块结构支撑的混凝土模制格子板。这一系统为狭窄的空间和难以进入的空间提供了廉价、快速和有效的建筑。而窗框，楼梯和长凳都是由金属制品和木工做的。

The construction system consisted on the use of concrete molded lattice panel slabs supported on a brick layered concrete block structure. This system enabled a cheap, fast and effective construction for a narrow space with difficult access. Whereas the window frames, as well as the stairs and the benches were made of metal work and carpentry.

可持续性的接触使该项目成为现代化的另一个方面，即从屋顶排出的所有雨水都指向一个蓄水池，从而使其能够用于清洗外部区域和浇水植物。

The touch of sustainability that gives the project another aspect of modernity is the fact that all the rainfall water drained from the rooftop is directed to a cistern, thus enabling its use for cleaning the external area and for watering the plants.

当灵活性、可持续性和现代性的概念被添加到最初的空间中，产生了年轻朋友的梦想和普萨迪尼奥项目时，它也给巴西现实中常见的这种奇特的非正式结构的概念赋予了新的含义。

When concepts of flexibility, sustainability and modernity are added to the intervention in the original space that gave birth to the dream of young friends and to the Puxadinho project, it also gives a new meaning to the concept of this peculiar kind of informal construction so common in the Brazilian reality.
