当开始研究这栋小房子时，经过全面的历史研究，得出的结论是，在墨西哥很少有像Guanajuato这样具有强烈的建设性特征的地方。这一点清楚地反映在它的建筑、厨房用具、水渠、传说中，甚至体现在它的英雄身上，如Pipila，他身背一块巨石，这样保守派的子弹就不会打到他的军团里。
When work began on this small house and after a thorough historical research, it was concluded that there are few places in Mexico with a constructive identity as strong as Guanajuato. This is clearly reflected in its architecture, kitchen utensils, aqueducts, legends, even in its heroes such as the Pipila, who carries a huge rock on his back so that the bullets of the conservatives would not reach his regiment.
在这个国家的这个地区，石头是深深扎根于任何形式文化表达中的一个元素。出于这个原因，这个建筑作品的材料选择非常容易和自然。此外，附近有个材料库和有能力的劳动力；鼓励人工和环境之间的对话。整个建筑群是在十字形规划的基础上组织起来的；因此，空间被定义为路径的石头小巷的十字架分成了四个象限，框住了所有的时刻，并将象限与象限分开。
In this area of the country, stone is an element deeply rooted in any form of cultural expression. For this reason, the material for this architectural piece was very easily and naturally chosen. In addition, there was a materials bank and capable labor nearby; a dialogue of respect between the artifice and its environment was encouraged. The entire complex is organized on the basis of a cruciform plan; thus, the space is divided into four quadrants by a cross of stone alleys defining the paths, framing all moments, and separating one quadrant from the other.
一经划分，每个象限都被赋予了“使命”，右下角象限是第一象限，在居民到达时接待他们；它的使命是容纳地方花园，加强、保护和欢迎生物和人类。第二象限放汽车；在建设过程中对树木进行了特别的照顾，因为它们可以为汽车提供阴凉，以保护车辆免受阳光照射。最重要的是，一堵长长的、几乎没有弧度的石墙保护着入口，挡住了向屋内看的视线，并强调了背景山体的水平存在。
Once divided, a “vocation” was assigned to each of these quadrants: the lower right quadrant, which is the first one, receives the inhabitants upon their arrival; it has the vocation of housing an endemic garden that reinforces, protects, and welcomes living beings and humans. The second quadrant hosts the cars; special care was taken to the trees during construction, as they would provide shade to protect the cars from the sun. To top it off, a long, barely arched stone wall protects the entrance, avoids looking inside the house, and emphasizes the horizontal presence of the mountain in the background.
第三象限是一室一厅的房子；公共空间与私人空间被一个包含浴室、更衣室和服务区的单一体量所分隔，这打破了开放的平面图。第四象限是办公室；这是唯一明显突出的垂直元素，与景观和其他元素的水平性形成对比，试图用这种姿态来点缀Mineral de Pozos的Santa Brigida矿的标志性体量。这些空间的分散迫使人们在空间之间进行永久的朝圣；它使你与大地、空气和山峰接触，仿佛它是一座古老的修道院，框住了景观，但同时也形成了它的自然部分。
In the third quadrant is the one-bedroom house; the public spaces are separated from the private ones by a single volume containing bathrooms, dressing room, and service area, which breaks with the open floor plan. In the fourth quadrant is the office; this is the only visibly prominent vertical element that contrasts with the horizontality of the landscape and the rest of the elements, seeking with this gesture to flirt with the iconic volumes of the Santa Brigida mine in Mineral de Pozos.The dispersion of these spaces forces a permanent pilgrimage between spaces; it makes you come into contact with the earth, the air, and the mountain as if it were an ancient monastery, framing the landscape but at the same time forming a natural part of it.
