This hill-top house by Portuguese architect Jorge Graca Costa was designed for a professional surfer and his family.
这个山顶住宅是由葡萄牙建筑师Jorge Graca Costa为一个冲浪运动员和他的家庭设计的。
The form of the U-House took inspiration from traditional Mediterranean courtyard houses to protect it from the windy climate of western Portugal.
U住宅的形式从传统地中海庭院住宅获得了灵感。这些传统住宅保护自身免受西葡萄牙多风气候的侵害。
“Our mutual interest in sustainability didn’t keep us from wholeheartedly embracing modern design,” says Jorge Graca Costa, explaining how he and the client wanted to integrate environmental strategies into the holistic design of the house, rather than simply tack on “green” devices as an afterthought.
“我们对传统持续性的共同关注，并没有阻止我们由衷地拥抱现代设计，”Jorge Graca Costa说，解释他和业主是怎么整合环境策略到房子的整体设计中的，而不是简单地在事后贴一个“绿色”的标签。
Perched at the top of a hill and surrounded by trees, the shape of the house frames the view over the San Lorenzo bay and helps to moderate the climate within the courtyard.
坐落在山顶之上，且被树林包围，这样形状的房子具有俯视圣洛伦佐湾的视野，同时帮助减轻庭院内的多风气候。
A grassed area and a decked patio lead on to a non-chlorinated pool, which is heated by a combination of solar and biomass energy. 草坪和饰面露台通向一个未经氯化处理过的泳池，泳池由太阳能与生物能共同加热。
The windows are deeply recessed with high performance double-glazing to let in plenty of natural light while keeping solar gain to a minimum.
窗户深嵌在墙面上，装有高性能的双层玻璃，以在获得充足自然光的同时，把阳光能量降低到最小。
