The elegant AB Residence is situated on a 53,500 square-metre (approx. 13-acre) private island in Angra dos Reis.

雅致的AB住宅位于53,500平方米（近似值）上。在AngraDOSReis中，13英亩（13英亩）的私人岛屿。

Angra dos Reis is a municipality in the southwest of Rio de Janeiro state in Brazil. It is formed by 365 islands that have a tropical rainforest climate and exquisite biodiversity, but also one of the country’s busiest oil transporting harbours.

安哥拉是里约热内卢州西南部的一个自治市。它由365个岛屿组成，有热带雨林气候和优美的生物多样性，但也是该国最繁忙的石油运输港口之一。

Environmental concerns and minimal impact on the surrounding nature were top-of-mind for the owners and for Jacobsen Arquitetura, the Brazilian architectural firm in charge of the project.

对于业主和负责该项目的巴西建筑公司雅各布森·阿基德图拉来说，环境问题和对周围自然的影响都是最重要的。

The two-story residence on the sloping terrain is a minimal-profile sliver of a structure that appears much smaller than its total built area of 935 square metres (abt. 10,000 sq.ft) would imply.

在倾斜的地形上的两层住宅是一座看起来比其总建筑面积935平方米(Abt)小得多的建筑物的最小轮廓条。10，000平方英尺将意味着。

The architects developed several conceptual options and studied various schematic alternatives to minimize the impact on the land, to maximize daylight and to provide uninterrupted interaction with nature.

建筑师们制定了几种概念上的选择，并研究了各种方案，以尽量减少对土地的影响，最大限度地利用日光，并提供与自然的不间断互动。

Strict environmental standards dictated the maximum structure size in relation to the available land, the height of the structure and its proximity to the shore.

严格的环境标准规定了相对于可用土地的最大结构尺寸、结构的高度及其邻近海岸。

The structure appears to have almost no weight with its glass-panel facade and minimal form. The metallic structure and prefabricated wood and glass panels made construction quick and waste of material minimal. Low maintenance costs will be an added benefit in the long run.

该结构似乎几乎没有重量，它的玻璃面板正面和最小的形式。金属结构和预制木料和玻璃板使建筑速度快，材料浪费最小。从长远来看，较低的维护成本将是一个额外的好处。

We love the pure elegance of the house and its unobtrusive presence on the lush, little island. Tuija Seipell
