当地建筑事务所受委托在墨西哥中部城市莫雷里亚郊外的森林乡村设计一座“避难所”，设计灵感来自一个童年的记忆，一个受惊的孩子胆怯地从被单中窥视，设计了一座消失在景观中的房屋。

Commissioned to design a “refuge” in the forested countryside outside Morelia, a city in central Mexico, local architecture practice HW STUDIO drew from a childhood memory of a frightened child timidly peeking from out of the bed sheets to design a ghostly house that disappears into the landscape.

一个人怎么才能感到受保护呢?这个问题正是工作室设计的核心。就像一个孩子在夜晚熄灯时躲在床单下，躲避鬼魂和童话故事中的女巫一样。考虑到这一点，建筑的拱形形状以最纯粹的形式体现了遮蔽和保护的概念。“对我们来说，重要的是你不会注意到建筑，”团队说，事实上，房子已经与周围的自然融为一体。

How can one feel protected? This question lies at the heart of the HW Studio’s design. Like a toddler that seeks protection from night-time ghosts and fairy tale witches when the lights are turned off. With this in mind, the building’s vaulted shape embodies the concept of shelter and protection in its purest form . “It was important for us that you don’t notice the architecture”, the team says, and indeed, the house has become one with its surrounding nature. In fact, part of its charm is that it has to be discovered.

为了进入房子，你必须穿过一个很长的通道，在某一时刻经过一棵老松树，它的存在扭曲了侧墙的线性——一种象征性的姿态，体现了项目对自然景观的尊重。入口通道的宽度足以让一个人舒适地行走，但又足够狭窄以防止有人陪伴，正如建筑师们设计的那样，入口通道是有目的性的，称为“孤独的朝圣之旅”。

In order to enter the house, you have to traverse a very long passage, at one point passing an old pine tree whose presence distorts the linearity of the flanking walls – a symbolic gesture that encapsulates the project’s respect for the natural landscape. Wide enough to walk comfortably alone, yet narrow enough to discourage accompaniment, the entryway was purposefully designed, as the architects poignantly remark, as “a pilgrimage of solitude”.

礼仪通道以走廊的形式在房屋内部延伸，将建筑物分为开放式起居区和带三间卧室的私人区域，两侧的全玻璃墙带来充足的日光。虽然公共区域享有松树和橡树林的广阔景色，但卧室的设计考虑到了隐私，通向一个私密的庭院，也能欣赏树顶和天空的景色。

The ceremonial passageway extends inside the house in the form of a corridor that divides the building into an open-plan living area and a private section with three bedrooms, with full-height glass walls on either side bringing in plenty of daylight. While the public area enjoys wide views of the pine and oak forest, the bedrooms have been designed with privacy in mind, opening up to an intimate courtyard that only offers tree-top and sky views.

拱形混凝土结构暴露在外，充满了野兽派美学，但感觉舒适。朴素的石头、木材和钢铁色调，包括硬木地板、变成长凳的树干和壁挂式钢制挂衣杆，与混凝土表面相得益彰，为简约的室内设计注入一种原始的感觉，与周围的森林完美融合。

Left exposed, the vaulted concrete structure suffuses the cavernous interiors with a brutalist aesthetic that nevertheless feels cozy. A humble palette of stone, wood and steel - including hardwood floors, tree-trunks turned into benches, and wall-mounted steel clothes rails - complements the concrete surfaces, imbuing the minimalist interiors with a primitive sensibility in perfect harmony with the surrounding forest.
