架构师提供的文本描述。这座房子位于葡萄牙北部的中心地带，旨在将乡村和城市的生活方式结合起来。该地段被不同类型的建筑所包围，这是非正规住区的结果，也是大多数葡萄牙城市社区的特点。

Text description provided by the architects. Located on the north-center of Portugal, the house was meant to combine the rural and the urban lifestyle. The lot is surrounded by different types of constructions, consequence of the informal settlements, characteristics of most Portuguese cities neighbourhoods.

现有的石头遗迹，传统房屋的遗迹和地段的结构，是新项目的主要方面。该计划的要求，一套家庭住房，已经导致了几乎全部土地占用。

The existent stone ruins, vestige of a traditional house and the lot’s configuration, were the main aspects for the new project. The program requirements, a family house, have led to an almost total land occupation.

第一项原则是将新旧建筑分开，即使它们是连接在内部的。石头的体积代表现存的建筑物；混凝土的体积代表新的建筑。

The first principle was to separate the new and the old construction, even if they are connected inside. A stone volume represents the existent building; a concrete volume the new one.

第二个原则是在房子中央引入光线。产生了两种不同的空旷空间：入口处和房子的中心-庭院。

The second principle was to introduce light in the middle of the house. Two different empty spaces were generated: the entrance, and the heart of the house – the courtyard.

 Floor Plan

庭院和楼梯是房子及其生活的中心。这些是房屋不同部分、内部和外部空间关系的关键要素。

The courtyard and the stairs are the center of the house and its living. These are the key elements for the spatial relationships between the different parts of the house, the interior and the exterior.

该项目分为两层：客厅、厨房和车库位于一楼；卧室和图书馆位于一楼。这套房被放在了一个特殊的位置-这是对那所老房子的记忆。

The program was divided in two levels: the living room, the kitchen and the garage were positioned on the ground floor; the bedrooms and the library at the first floor. The suite was placed in a privileged point – the memory of the old house.

建筑细节和材料选择：石头、混凝土、钢和橡木，都有规模和场地特征。里面的白色和木材舒适。在一个花岗质和一个新的混凝土块的外面也是用同样的方式雕刻的。

The scale and the site identity were always present on the construction details and material choices: stone, concrete, steel and oak wood. Inside the white and the wood comfort. Outside a granitic and a new concrete mass were sculpted on the same way.
