架构师提供的文本描述。在葡萄牙南部的阿尔加韦，从海岸向丘陵中部地区的过渡是以上升的景观为特征的。历史上的农业结构，如葡萄园和果园，形成了田园诗般的环境。我们为一位荷兰校长设计了一个度假之家，就在其中一个典型的地块上，里面有一个古老的柑橘和橄榄园。设计的重点是户外生活、阳光、海景以及与家人和朋友的聚会。

Text description provided by the architects. In the Algarve, the south of Portugal, the transition from the coast to the hilly midlands is characterized by an ascending landscape. Historical agricultural structures, such as vineyards and orchards form an idyllic setting. We designed a holiday home for a Dutch principal on one of these typical plots with an old citrus- and olive orchard. The main focus point of the design are the life outdoors, the sun, the fantastic view over the ocean and the gathering around family and friends.

这所房子位于地势的最高点。它由三个不同的卷组成，每个卷有一个扭结的屋顶和一个特定的功能：客厅、游泳池和客房。不同的体积和屋顶表面之间的关系略有变化，从而遵循HET绘图的范围。这座住宅是用地道的葡萄牙材料和技术建造的，以现代化的方式使用。从远处看，由于屋顶、高度、材料和颜色的不同，这座建筑似乎与周围环境融为一体。

The house is situated on the highest point of the plot. It consists of three different volumes each with a kinked roof and a specific function: living area, swimming pool and guest house. The different volumes and roof surfaces are slightly shifted in relation to each other, thus following the scope of het plot. The residence is built with authentic Portuguese materials and techniques, used in a modern way. From afar the building seems to merge with its surroundings due to the different roofs, heights, materials and colors.

如果一个人靠近在果园里晃动着的长长的车道的房子，这座建筑看起来又高又内向。相当封闭的白色灰泥墙保护客人不受寒冬风的影响，并为更高位置的邻居提供隐私。在这堵墙的后面，建筑物向太阳和周围的大自然开放。坚固的木结构承载着不同的屋顶，把它们稍微举过墙壁。由于这种温和的阳光进入房子的每一点在一天，创造了充满活力的空间。巨大的悬垂和巨大的玻璃正面使内部和外部之间的过渡微妙，专注于外部的生活。客厅和宾馆是通过一个沿着游泳池下降的长长的懒散楼梯连接起来的。游泳池有开放的屋顶结构和宽敞的露台，是建筑的中心，连接着所有不同的功能和空间。

If one approaches the house by the long driveway dangling through the orchard, the building looks tall and introvert. The fairly closed white stucco wall protects its guests from cold winter winds and provides privacy towards the higher situated neighbors. Behind this wall the building opens itself towards the sun and the surrounding nature. A firm wooden structure bears the different roofs, lifting them slightly above the walls. Due to this tempered sunlight enters the house at every point of the day, creating vibrant spaces. Large overhangs and great glass facades make the transition between interior and exterior subtle, focusing on the life outside. The living area and guesthouse are connected through a long lazy stair descending along the swimming pool. The swimming pool with its open roof structure and spacious terraces is the central point in the building, connecting all different functions and spaces.
