架构师提供的文本描述。拉斯梅塞德斯屋的项目是干预一所“香肠”屋(巴拉圭的住房类型学，所有的空间都是相互联系的，并连接到一个共同的中间空间，即画廊)。这种类型允许多用途空间，扩大了可用于建筑的用途的多样性。

Text description provided by the architects. The project for Las Mercedes House was to intervene in a "sausage" house (Paraguayan housing typology where all the spaces are interconnected and also linked to a common intermediate space which is the gallery). This typology allows for multipurpose spaces, expanding the diversity of uses that can be given to the construc

该提案采用了这种空间的相互连接，并加强了空间和高度之间的开口，创造了一个实际上与先前的空间分离的空间。

The proposal adopts this spatial interconnectivity and enhances it extending openings between spaces and heights, creating a single space virtually separated from the pre-existence.

这栋房子建于20世纪40年代，由于大量漏水和木材中有白蚁的存在，房屋的边缘有一个屋顶，令人十分遗憾。

The state of the house, built in the 1940s, was quite deplorable due to the moisture from numerous leaks and a roof on the edge of collapse due to the presence of cupi'i (termites) in the timber.

这项干预应以最低预算(比每平方米参考价格低3倍)进行，这意味着材料的回收、所有现有材料的再利用和采用再生材料。

The intervention was to be done with a minimal budget (3 times lower than the reference price per square meter) which implied the recovery of materials, the reuse of all existing materials and the introduction of recycled materials.

我们小心翼翼地拆卸瓷砖屋顶，以便重新使用瓷砖和木材(回收未受影响的碎片)。我们拆除了整个工程中的灰泥，除了正面，为了让墙壁呼吸，我们拆除了内墙。洞口被完全收回，还有一些楼层。这些设施在外部重新装修，以避免损坏现有的墙壁。

We proceeded to disassemble the tile roof with care in order to reuse the tiles and the timber (recovering the unaffected pieces). We removed the plaster in the entire project except in the facade, to allow the walls to breathe, and we demolished interior walls. The openings were recovered entirely, also some floors. The facilities were redone externally to avoid damaging the existing walls.

新屋顶是以瓷砖屋顶的传统方式放置的，只不过它形成了半个抛物面，这一姿态延伸了房屋的高度，引入了自然光，并创造了一个阁楼和通往露台/室外花园的通道；同时又不失去原来房子的空间性。

The new roof was placed in the traditional manner of a tile roof, except it forms half a paraboloid, in a gesture that extends the height of the house, introduces natural light and creates a mezzanine and access to a terrace / outdoor garden; without losing the spatiality of the original house.

这种施工策略是用变截面杆件的“梁”来实现的。它还允许光线间接进入，与原来墙壁的屋顶分离。

This construction strategy is achieved with a "beam" of rods with variable section. It also allows for light to enter indirectly, separated from the roof of the origi

所产生的大空间，其中包含整个住房程序(厨师吃工作休息浴)，仅除以回收托盘的旋转墙2.40x2.60m，其中包含电视，以优化空间的多功能性。

The large space that is generated, which contains the entire housing program (cook + eat + work + rest + sleep + bath) is divided only by a rotating wall of recovered pallets of 2.40 x 2.60 m, containing the TV to optimize the versatility of the space.

在老房子旁边，我们建了一个空间，里面有厕所、洗衣房和书房/车间。这个空间是用预先存在的建筑所设定的尺寸来建造的，但是以一种现代的方式。屋面是一个用作露台/花园的混凝土板，外墙和地板是由拆除后回收的砖制成的，玻璃板来自废弃用途，唯一的结构柱是用拆卸后的再生木材制成的，其构造体系是用两个钢筋混凝土钢瓶预应力16毫米棒压缩废弃木材。

Next to the old house, we built a space that contains the toilets, laundry room and a study / workshop. This space is constructed with dimensions set by the pre-existing building but in a contemporary way. The roof is a concrete slab that acts as terrace / garden, the exterior walls and floor are made of bricks recovered from demolition, the glass panes come from discarded uses, and the only structural pillar was made with reclaimed wood from demolition with a constructive system that threads discarded wood in compression with a 16mm rod prestressed by two reinforced concrete cylinders.

最终的结果是一个“香肠屋”，空间适合当代生活方式，而不抛弃现有建筑和周围景观中的天才轨迹。

The end result is a "sausage house" with spaces suited to a contemporary lifestyle without discarding the genius loci in the existing building and the surrounding lands
