Portico Palmeto是坐落在一片繁茂棕榈树林中的多功能建筑。这片绿林占地达2.5公顷，是Cholul地区的绿肺。该地区位于墨西哥东南部的梅里达，这里曾是玛雅人的栖息地。该项目旨在搭建建筑与周围自然环境和社会环境的密切关系，并使其具有满足未来活动的多功能特性。

该建筑的主要功能为建筑设计工作室，然而其设计却与传统老套的工作室空间大相径庭。设计师们一天中的大部分时间都将在工作室中度过，因此，该空间更加注重环境的舒适度和亲和性设计。对于来访者来说，该建筑则更应该注重其本身与周围环境所建立的空间联系和感官体验。社会文化性活动将作为次要的内部活动。

The main activity that takes place in the complex is that of architecture workshop / studio”; However, the spaces were designed away from a stereotype related to a traditional work space and focused on making the experience of working in it more welcoming and domestic, due to the awareness of being a place where people spend much of their day time. For the visitors, the objective was to establish a sensorial connection with architectural-constructive values promoted by the workshop. Socio-cultural activities are carried out as a secondary activity.

该项目包括具有渗透性的多功能步行空间，花园和步行路线皆是项目总体规划的一部分。带有露台的连廊和休闲区域共同组织了私密和公共空间。此外，建筑还包括一个起居室/会客室，一个小厨房，一间配套完整的浴室，储藏间，工作间，中央庭院，开放的屋顶露台，两个洗手间及一个设备间。基于对建筑的功能性，和与临街及社区对视的私密性和安全性考虑，该建筑被刻意安排在场地后侧。建筑的空间尺度受场地植被和被动能源系统的把控和限制。建筑门廊设有一系列于场地中打造的竹板，这些竹板帮助建筑隔绝直射日光和狂风，并提供必要的私密性保护。

The program consists of a permeable multifunctional esplanade, a “garden / pedestrian path” as part of the master plan, a programmed portico with terraces and relaxation areas that also orders acces public and private areas, a “living room / meetings room”, a kitchenette, a full bathroom, a storage room, a work area, a central patio and an open roof terrace with two half bathrooms and a machine room. The construction is located at the back of the land due to functional considerations and progressivity in the master plan of which is a part, and maintains its visibility from the street as a neighborhood security strategy. Its volumetry is defined from an existing tree survey, as well as from the passive systems it implements. The portico has a series of deployable bamboo panels produced in the area, which work to control the insolation, the level of privacy and the security of the building against vandalism and hurricanes.

建筑采用块材，托梁和水泥板材料以最本土的方式建造。屋顶由现浇防水混凝土加泡沫塑料隔热层现场浇筑而成。Hydrosanitary将黑灰水分离，并分别通过隔油池和生物消化器进行处理。室内采用已安装逆变器技术的LED灯照明系统。建筑选材考虑尽量减少其日常维护。建筑地面及部分固定家具均为混凝土现场浇灌而成。建筑师将天花板和墙面的表面灰泥调和成大地色。硬木的使用有效防止了白蚁的侵蚀。窗户由铝合金和钢化玻璃打造，且所有室内空间均设有防蚊纱窗。

The construction system is the most common in the region, based on blocks, joists and cement slabs. The roof was cast in site with waterproof concrete and is thermally insulated with polystyrene panels. Hydrosanitary facilities separate gray and black waters, which are treated by means of a grease trap and a biodigester, respectively. Lighting is LED and the equipment implement Inverter technology. In terms of materiality, the architectural finishes are apparent to reduce maintenance. The floors are made of white concrete, as well as the pre-cast plates on site with which the fixed furniture was assembled. The walls and ceilings have burnished stucco that was pigmented with the earth tone of the site. The carpentry used hard wood resistant to termites. Windows were made with natural aluminum and tempered glass. All interior spaces consider mosquito nets.

从建筑入口到公共区域及家具构建中，你都能感受到建筑的独特色彩构成。这些色彩的选择均来自于周围最受欢迎的建筑，它们与周围的季节性自然环境相匹配，伴随着鸟语花香，呈现出一派祥和之感。与此同时，水生花园则扮演着驱蚊者和生物引诱者的双重角色。这些细节化的考虑为建筑空间带来了难以名状空间感受，等待着来访者去发掘和体会。

The colors are perceived in the access thresholds to public areas and also in furniture pieces. These were chosen from site’s popular architecture, as well as by their ability to dialogue with the tones of preexisting vegetation, which was reinforced with endemic species that attract wild birds, aromatic species and species of human consumption present in the traditional “Mayan Solar”. Likewise, aquatic gardens that function as mosquito controllers and fauna attractants were implemented. These considerations add to the range of intangible sensations that can be perceived in the building.

该项目旨在通过设计，将源自玛雅文明，肃穆又神秘的修道院建筑，以及尤卡坦半岛庄园的特质，融入于当地高品质传统建筑中，使它们于当下的环境中和谐共存。

Its aspiration is to be a syncretic building capable of abstracting the qualities of a regional architectural heritage that ranges from the coherence of the Mayan vernacular architecture, the sobriety and mysticism of the Franciscan convents and the functionality of the Yucatan haciendas; to reconcile them with the characteristics of the historical moment in which it is situated.
