架构师提供的文本描述。赞比西是一座有四个居住单元的公寓楼。为要求每个单元都有相似的内部和外部区域的家庭而设计的。解决这一问题的方法是在一楼放置一套公寓，周围有开阔的空间。由于这座建筑坐落在一座小山上，接下来的两层由两个复式单元占据，它们的外部空间位于地块的背面和两侧。最后，位于四楼的其余单元通过覆盖两套复式公寓二楼的露台创造了外部空间。这创造了一个双层门廊，可以在正面看到。

Text description provided by the architects. Zambeze is an apartment building with four living units. Designed for a family that required every unit to have similar interior and exterior areas. That was resolved by placing one single apartment on the first floor, having open areas around it.  As the building sits on a hill, the next two floors are occupied by two duplex units that have their exterior spaces on the back and sides of the lot. Finally, the remaining unit located on the fourth floor, had its exterior space created by covering the terraces on the second floor of the two duplex apartments. This creates a double story porch that is visible on the frontal facade.

该建筑所在的Miravalle地区，可以俯瞰向东的坎巴亚山谷，这就是为什么面对这一方向的正面立面非常开放，充分利用了这些景观。

The Miravalle area, where the building is located at, has the privileged views of the Cumbaya valley towards the East.  This is why the frontal façade, which faces this direction, is very open, taking advantage of these views.

建筑物的结构是用现浇混凝土建造的，其柱、梁和天花板都暴露在公寓内部，建筑周围用手工砖，它被暴露在室内和外墙上。其他材料是用于遮挡车辆进入建筑物的屏幕的木头，它成为外墙的一个重要元素，用于复式公寓的楼梯和露台的扶手栏杆。

The structure of the building is made of cast-in-place concrete.  Its columns, beams and ceilings are all exposed in the interior of the apartments.  Artisanal brick was used to build the perimeter of the building, which was left exposed in the interior and exterior walls.  Other materials used were wood for the screen that hides the vehicular access to the building and becomes an important element of the facade, and iron for the stairs of the duplex apartments and the hand railing of its terraces.

重要的设计细节是在侧面产生张力的空间。这些空间有助于过渡材料，并在它们的高度变化时划分体积。这些高度的变化发生在建筑物对山的正坡度作出反应时。其他重要的方面是露台上的绿色和砖块组合。这些梯田的设计方式是让树木在建筑物的每一层生长。此外，复式公寓的两层门廊的侧壁是手工砖砌的。然而，它们之间的空间允许更多的日光照射，同时也给近邻留下了隐私。

Important design details are the spaces creating tension on the side facades.  These spaces help transition materials and divide volumes when they change in height.  These height variations happen as the building responds to the positive gradient of the hill. Other important aspects are the green and brick combination on the terraces.  Said terraces were designed in such way to allow trees to grow in every level of the building.  Additionally, the side walls of the double story porches of the duplex apartments are made of artisanal brick.  However, they are placed leaving spaces between them allowing more daylight in and, at the same time, giving privacy from its close neighbors.
