该项目的初衷源于对打破传统垂直住宅空间组织限制的渴望。设计旨在扩大、模糊并激活公共和私人、内部和外部之间的领域,从而为居民之间的相遇创造新的和更丰富的的可能性。
设计团队选择将住宅单元划分为两个独立的体量,这一决定受到“vecindad”的灵感启发。“vecindad”可追溯到20 世纪初,是墨西哥一种常见的工人阶级住房类型,家庭住宅位于户外私人走廊式露台的一侧或两侧。这些露台在熙攘的街道和家庭住宅之间作为过渡空间,并进一步充当着居民的聚集地。
设计团队并没有依靠阳台来为居民提供私人外部空间,取而代之地选择将住宅单元向内折叠,以形成一系列安静的半遮蔽露台,以更加模糊的方式协调室内外空间。
由此产生的单元集合体不再是普通意义上的公寓,还可以理解为多层“露台住宅”,它们彼此交织,以确保最佳的自然采光和私密性。因此,虽然在内部每间住宅都与相邻住宅区分隔,但建筑外部并非按部就班地反映内部情况,而是通过预制混凝土砌块建造的起伏的外立面将整个项目整合在一起。当光影在混凝土表皮上游移时将泛起波光涟漪,产生令人眩目的效果。□(徐紫仪 译)

From the outset, the design was informed by a desire to challenge the organisational limitations of the typical vertical housing block. The objective was to expand, to blur, to make more dynamic the realm between public and private, interior and exterior,thereby creating new and more diverse possibilities for encounter between residents.
We opted to divide the dwelling units between two separate volumes, a decision inspired by the"vecindad", a common working-class housing type in Mexico dating to the turn of the 20th century, in which family dwellings are arranged to be decorated with an open-air, private corridor-like patio on one or both sides. These patios serve as a transitional space between the bustling street and the family home, and further function as gathering places for residents.
Rather than relying on balconies to provide private exterior space for the residents, we instead opted to fold the housing units inward to form a series of quiet, sheltered terraces that mediate the interior and exterior in a more ambiguous way.
The resulting units can perhaps be better understood not merely as apartments, but as multistorey "patio houses", which are intertwined, a compositional exercise intended to ensure the best natural lighting and privacy. Each dwelling is therefore distinct from the next, but rather than articulate this condition on the exterior, the entire project is united by a façade of undulating, customfabricated concrete blocks. Light and shadow ripple as they move across the surface of this concrete veil,producing dazzling effects throughout the day. □
