架构师提供的文本描述。别墅位于葡萄牙南部的豪华高尔夫和海滩度假胜地Vale do Lobo。

Text description provided by the architects. The Villa is situated in Vale do Lobo, a luxury golf and beach resort in Southern Portugal.

这个小区是一个终点站，四周环绕着高尔夫、绿色植物和一个小湖。由于地点的原因，我们故意选择不在地块和周围环境之间建立明确的界限，而是用实际的建筑来区分公共空间和私人空间。

The plot is an end plot surrounded by golf, greenery and a small lake. Due to the location we have purposely opted not to create a clear boundary between plot and surroundings, rather using the actual building to create the distinction between public and private spaces.

别墅被开发成U形围绕中央庭院空间，帮助创造了一个开放的环境中的规模和遏制感。在这个庭院里，我们创造了一个悬空池，成为别墅的主要视觉焦点。作为主要的视觉焦点，我们选择了创造池作为一个雕塑元素，同时仍然作为主要池的功能。池子的悬空方面允许庭院在池外流动，因此不包含空间。这个上主池级联成一个较低的反射池，也可以用作孩子的溅水池。流水的声音创造了一个非常平静和放松的环境。这低反射池反过来“视觉”级联到室内游泳池位于家庭水疗区。继续使用黑色马赛克通过进入家庭温泉有助于加强这一概念。

The villa has been developed in a U shape around a central courtyard space helping to create a sense of scale and containment within the open surroundings. Within this courtyard we have created a suspended pool which becomes the main visual focal point of the villa. Being the main visual focus, we have opted for the creation of the pool as a sculptural element, while still serving the function as the main pool. The suspended aspect of the pool permits the flow of the courtyard beyond the pool, thereby not containing the space. This upper main pool cascades down into a lower reflecting pool that can also be used as a children's splash pool. The sound of the running water creates a very calm and relaxing environment. This lower reflecting pool in turn “visually” cascades down into the indoor pool situated within the home spa area. The continuation of the use of the black mosaic through into the home spa helps to strengthen this concept.

主建筑体积的外围用连续的重复垂直墙划定，几乎像堡垒一样，在公共和私人之间建立了一个明确的屏障。另一方面，面向庭院的空间提供了最大的透明度，使室内和室外空间之间的屏障最小化。为了加强室内和室外的互联，我们将同一楼层一直延伸到室外，滑动门完全向后滑动，室内和室外之间没有明显的阈值，将居住空间扩展到室外。

The outer perimeter of the main building volume has been demarcated with continuous repetitive vertical walls, almost like a fortress, establishing a clear barrier between public and private. The spaces facing into the courtyard on the other hand offer maximum transparency, minimizing the barrier between indoor and outdoor spaces. In order to strengthen the indoor and outdoor interconnection we have continued the same floor level through to the exterior with sliding doors that slide back fully with no distinct threshold between indoor and outdoor, extending the living spaces to the outdoor.

别墅的主要起居空间被开发成L形的石膏和白色的体积，其中一个机翼专门用于5间卧室，另一个侧翼专用于主要居住空间。单层居住空间位于两层卧室机翼之间的中间层，这意味着从所有卧室轻松进入主居住空间。这个主要的生活体积以悬浮玻璃立方体的形式向南延伸，我们在这个立方体中放置了一个休息区(舒适)，壁炉在湖和高尔夫球场的视野中都打开了。本卷的屋顶用作屋顶露台，设有迷你游泳池、室外居住空间和烧烤区，供晚间娱乐使用。半埋藏的地下室空间是别墅的主要室内娱乐场所，如游戏室、家庭影院和家庭水疗中心，以及双车库和服务区。家庭水疗面对黑色马赛克在尾声的音量创造了无限空间的感觉。

The main living spaces of the villa have been developed in an L shape plaster and painted white volume, with one wing dedicated to the 5 bedrooms and the other wing dedicated to the main living spaces. The single storey living space sits at an intermediate level between the 2 storey bedroom wing meaning easy access to the main living space from all bedrooms. This main living volume projects out to the south in the form of a suspended glass cube in which we have placed a sitting area (snug) with fireplace opening onto the views of both the lake and the golf course. The roof of this volume serves as a roof terrace with mini-pool, outdoor living space and BBQ area for evening entertainment. The semi buried basement space houses the main indoor entertainment areas of the villa, such as games room, home cinema and home spa, as well as the double garage and service areas. The home spa faced in the black mosaics at the end of the volume create the sense of an infinite space.

这座别墅是固体和透明的连续游戏，最终创造了一个非常有趣的对光与影的游戏。在材料方面，我们试图强调实心与虚空的作用，强调平面的内部和外部都使用木镶板，其中门等被隐藏起来，以免破坏体积或平面的感觉。对于地板，我们与灰色砂岩一起工作，这是一种非常均匀的石头，有助于创造一块被雕刻的石头的感觉，尽量减少关节的可读性等等。

The villa is a continuous play of solids versus transparency, which ultimately create a very interesting play of light versus shadow. In terms of materials we have tried to accentuate this play of solid versus void, by accentuating planes with the use of wood paneling both internally and externally, in which the doors etc have been hidden in order not to break up the sense of volume or plane. For the flooring we have worked with a grey sandstone which is a very homogeneous stone which helps create the feeling of a block of stone that has been carved, minimizing the legibility of the joints etc.
