译文:
能够在有着如此令人窒息的美景之地建造私宅，是幸运而特殊的。住宅Algarrobos矗立在厄瓜多尔Puembo的山谷之巅，一览众山小。群山环绕，沟壑纵横，远处山顶白雪皑皑，高地起伏，当地植被茂盛，这就是由Jose Maria Saez和Daniel Moreno Flores为一个私人家庭设计的住宅所处的环境。
建筑最值得注意的要数那八根18米的巨型钢梁，以三维方式相交。仿佛是向各个方向伸展的手臂，支撑梁形成悬臂式结构，使项目某些特定部分可以固定其上，达到完全融入风景之中而又不会影响视野的效果。同时梁住也嫁接起项目场地的粗线条和住宅内的小型元素。木框构造填充了住宅各部分间的空隙，更划分出各个空间。这个构造的重复及其简约性，更进一步简化了整体住宅规模，勾勒出多个功能区，而非把它们限定在所谓的“房间”内，使室内外环境有着直接的连系。建筑外围是透明的玻璃层。玻璃平面形成的立体造型及屋顶泳池的倒影，与周围的环境创建出新的联系。因此，在某些时间看到的平常的外立面，在另一些时候会反射周围景观，以至壁炉都好像消失不见了.
原文:
Not all projects have the luck or the privilege of being located on a breathtaking site, this is not one of those projects. situated at the top of a valley overlooking the mountains of puembo, ecuador, amongst deep crevices, snow-covered caps, plateaus and native vegetation is the 'algarrobos house'designed by local architect jose maria saez and ecuadorian architect daniel moreno flores for a private family. the peculiar context posed a great challenge: to bring the grandiose presence of the landscape to a relatable, digestible human scale; as a result, the residence is based around three points: the user, the function, and the surroundings. the structure then follows these principles, with a concrete foundation embedded into the hillside setting the floor areas and dimensions of different rooms.
The most notable feature is comprised of eight massive 18-meter long steel beams that overlap each other on the x,y, and z axes. like arms reaching out in all directions, the girders provide cantilevered structures from which certain parts of the program are allowed to nest, being immersed into the scenery with unabridged views. they also act as an intermediary between the larger site lines and the smaller-scale elements of the house.filling the voids between the members and further defining individual spaces are a substructure of wooden frames, whose repetition and simplicity bring the scale down one step further to delineate several functions without confining them into being literal 'rooms,' still allowing a direct exposure to the exterior.
