Olivos House（橄榄之家）是环境、客户和建筑的完美融合。居民的独特历史与这个小镇密切相关。Quesa是位于瓦伦西亚内陆的一个地区，一个具有阿拉伯起源的小型地中海村庄。业主最初来自巴塞罗那，在童年时期曾在该地区度过几个夏天。当重新访问这个小镇时，他们与当地的人和环境重新建立了联系，从而开始了Olivos House的故事。

Olivos House is a fusion of environment, client, and architecture. The history of its inhabitants is peculiar and has a strong connection to the town. Quesa is a region in the interior of Valencia, a small Mediterranean village with Arab origins. The owners, originally from Barcelona, had spent several summers in the region during their childhood. When revisiting the town, they reconnected with the people and the environment, and thus begins the story of Olivos House.

这块地块位于城镇的市区边缘，连接着建筑区和农村地区。它是该市边缘地带最后一片城市橄榄田，因此成为一个重要的项目机会。

The plot is located on the outskirts of the town's urban area and serves as a link between the built and the rural. It is the last urban olive field on the outskirts of the municipality, making it a great project opportunity.

这座一层的房子通过多种建筑手法完美地与环境融为一体。首先，有三个庭院朝向天空和橄榄树，同时提供隐私保护。其次，有一个宽敞的门廊，典型地中海文化和温暖气候的特色，不仅能遮挡西方的热量，还起到室内和室外的过渡作用。第三，有一个纵向的大平台，上面有一个泳池，延伸到橄榄田，可欣赏到壮观的日落景色。最后，大型窗户将入口、花园和庭院与房屋内的所有空间连接起来。

The one-story house is completely integrated with the environment through various architectural resources. First, three courtyards that look to the sky, the olive trees and at the same time provide privacy. Second, a large porch, characteristic of the Mediterranean culture and warm climates, which protects from the heat of the west and functions as a transition between the interior and exterior. Third, a large longitudinal platform with a pool that extends to the olive field and has spectacular sunset views. Finally, large windows that connect the access, garden, and courtyards with all interior spaces of the house.

水在房子中占据着重要的地位。室外游泳池在一端呈半圆形，并且部分被圆顶遮盖。它进入门廊，并延伸至橄榄园，成为房子的花园。水疗区设有室内游泳池，浴室旁边设有大窗户和室外淋浴，使整个房子成为一个独特的体验。两个游泳池均配备温度调节系统，使人们能够在全年的任何季节都享受游泳的乐趣。

Water has a strong presence in the house. The outdoor pool is semicircular at one end and is semi-covered by a dome. It enters the porch and extends through the olive field, which is the house's garden. The spa with an indoor pool, showers in the bathrooms next to large windows and outdoor showers, makes the house an experience. Both pools have a temperature regulation system that allows bathing in any season of the year.

该项目的亮点在于室内与室外的联系。所有室内空间在视觉上与该地区特有的壮观橄榄田相连。因此，创造出了神奇的视觉效果、联系以及光影变化，而橄榄田始终是整个房屋的主角。

The project stands out for its connection between the interior and exterior. All interior spaces visually connect with the spectacular field of olives, so characteristic in the region. Thus, magical visuals, connections, and lights and shadows are generated, with the olive field always being the protagonist of the house. 

这种联系在每个房间中都是不同的。白天的空间和入口通过一块大型电动玻璃直接与门廊和平台相连。套房卧室及其相应的服务浴室则通过两个更加私密的庭院与室外相连。

This connection is different in each room. The day space and access directly connect with the porch and platform through a large motorized glass. The suite bedroom, with its respective service bathrooms, connects to the outside through two more private courtyards.

该项目的一个非常独特的特点是材料、颜色和质感的运用。地板和外立面以陶土色调为主，旨在与周围环境和谐统一。同时，采用了伊朗洞穴石、黄铜和橄榄绿色木材等异国情调的大理石，为空间注入了与众不同的氛围，并与周围环境相协调。

A very unique component of the project is the materials, colors, and textures. Terracotta tones predominate on the floor and facade, seeking to harmonize with the environment. Exotic marbles such as Iranian travertine, brass, and olive green carpentry contrast and fill the space with a unique atmosphere in tune with the place.

这座房屋采用了钢结构框架系统进行建造，这是一种创新的系统，受到广泛应用于美国的“气球框架（Balloon Frame）”建筑系统的启发，能够实现更快速、更清洁的施工过程。所使用的材料是镀锌钢型材，既作为房屋的承重结构，同时也构成了立面和室内隔墙。此外，为了充分利用日间空间的光线，该区域长度为18米，还特别设置了一根大型金属横梁。

The house was carried out with the Steel Frame structural system. An innovative system inspired by the construction system widely used in the United States "Balloon Frame," which allows for faster and cleaner construction. The material used is a galvanized steel profile, which functions as the house's load-bearing structure and also forms the facade and interior partitions. In addition, to save the great light that exists in the day space, which has 18m in length, a large metal truss is arranged.

能源效率在设计该项目时占据了重要地位。这座房屋符合“被动房”标准，能够实现最低限度的能源消耗。被动房以极高的舒适水平为特点，同时具备非常低的能源消耗。这主要通过采用环境友好的原则来实现，包括高性能窗户、适当的通风、良好的隔热、严密的设计和减少热桥。

Energy efficiency was paramount in conceiving the project. The house meets "Passivhaus" standards and has minimal energy consumption. Passive Houses are characterized by particularly high levels of comfort with very low energy consumption. This is mainly achieved through the application of environmentally efficient principles: high-performance windows, adequate ventilation, insulation, tightness, and reduced thermal bridge design.

Balzar Arquitectos联合创始人 / Jossore maria Garcia zarco, Laura moreno albuixech and txema Garcia ballester

Balzar Arquitectos的历史可以追溯到30多年前，当时José María在Orihuela开始了他的职业生涯。儿子Txema经常在放学后陪伴他去工作室，与图纸和建筑书籍作伴的故事。在6岁时，Txema决定要成为一名建筑师。1995年，他们搬到了瓦伦西亚。在接下来的8年里，他协调了建筑和城市规划方面的重大公共投资，直到他成立了G-Zarco工作室。与此同时，Laura在瓦伦西亚内陆的山村出生，并在一个优越的自然环境中长大。这种与传统的接触使她十分懂得简单生活的重要性。Laura希望将这种"自然"的观点应用到建筑中。她在攻读建筑学期间认识了Txema，从那时起，他们分享了彼此的生活和工作。多年来，他们在两家不同的公司，G-Zarco Estudio和Dot Partners下开展项目，但两者之间有着紧密的合作关系。

The history of Balzar Arquitectos team dates back more than 30 years when José María began his career in Orihuela. He always tells the story of how his son, Txema, used to accompany him to work and do his homework in the studio, surrounded by drawings, blueprints, and architecture books, right after school. At the age of 6, Txema decided he would become an architect.In 1995, they moved to Valencia. For 8 years, he coordinated major public investments in architecture and urban planning. Until he founded G-Zarco studio.Meanwhile, Laura, who was born in Quesa, a mountain village in the interior of Valencia, grew up in a privileged natural environment. That contact with tradition made her value authenticity, everyday life, and the simplicity of living. Laura wanted to apply that "natural" perspective to architecture. She met Txema while studying architecture, and since then, they have shared their lives and work.For years, they developed projects under two different firms, G-Zarco Estudio and Dot Partners, but with strong collaboration between them.

在2018年，他们决定联手创办Balzar Arquitectos，因为通过审视自己、周围环境以及对生活和工作的看法，这是最自然的结合。凭借着José María的经验和Laura与Txema的创意，他们创建了一个全新的工作室，能够应对不同规模和复杂度的项目。他们的建筑理念基于简约，创造出元素化的形式，让光线和物质在空间中得以最大程度地表达自己。这种简约体现了真实和真诚，无需装饰来表达自身。他们的工作植根于过去和传统，重新演绎其原则，并展望未来。

In 2018, they decided to team up and found Balzar Arquitectos because, by looking at themselves, their surroundings, and their way of viewing life and work (if it's possible to make this distinction), it was the most natural union. With José María's experience and Laura and Txema's energy, they created a new studio capable of tackling projects of different scales and complexities.Their architecture is based on simplicity, creating elemental forms where light and matter find their utmost expression in spaces. Simplicity that speaks of authenticity and sincerity without the need for ornamentation to express itself. Their work is rooted in the past and tradition, reinventing its principles and looking towards the future.

经过多年的专业实践，工作的根本目标是追求美感，从设计图本身开始，延伸到最小的施工细节。这种美包含了创造建筑所需的所有因素：经济性、功能性、耐久性、与环境的整合、法规要求、对环境的尊重等等。这种美对社会有着重要的作用，使人们能够生活在一个更加宜人的世界中，为他们的幸福做出贡献。

"After years of professional practice, we can affirm that the fundamental aspect of our work is the pursuit of beauty, starting from the design of the plans themselves and extending to the smallest construction detail. This beauty encompasses all the necessary factors in creating architecture: economy, functionality, durability, integration into the environment, regulations, environmental respect, and more.This beauty serves an important purpose for society, allowing people to live in a more pleasant world and contributing to their happiness."
