RESIDENCE
Light and space become evocative and creative elements.
Light, once captured, enters a space, revealing its materiality and evoking emotions. It was the study of natural light and the iconic pyramid of the Paula Rego Museum that led HW Studio to design Casa Emma in Morelia, central Mexico.

早在几年前，HW Studio建筑工作室源于参观由Eduardo Souto de Moura设计的Paula Rego博物馆的契机，所获得的灵感，被应用于艾玛之家（Casa Emma）的设计之中。
A few years ago, HW Studio was inspired by a visit to the Paula Rego Museum, designed by Eduardo Souto de Moura, and this inspiration was applied to the design of Casa Emma.

INSPIRATION
设计灵感
01
一步入Paula Rego博物馆的内部，HW Studio便大受感动，一种难以用言语形容的宁静之感迎面扑来。从高高的天窗穿过，金色般的柔和光束倾洒而下，仿佛建筑的每一个角落都沐浴在温柔、丝绒般的暖光之中，万物被赋予了生机。HW Studio采用这种光线的方式，为Casa Emma注入活力，旨在尝试在较小的空间尺度上重现相同的感受，并巧妙捕捉光的路径。
Upon entering the interior of the Paula Rego Museum, HW Studio is struck by an indescribable sense of serenity, as if every corner of the building is bathed in a gentle, velvety warmth that brings everything to life. Passing through the high skylights, soft golden beams of light pour down, as if every corner of the building is bathed in gentle, velvety warmth, and everything is brought to life.HW Studio adopts this approach to light to energize Casa Emma, aiming to try to recreate the same feeling on a smaller spatial scale, and to capture the path of light skillfully.
LIGHT AND SPACE
光与空间
02
在这个令人着迷的艾玛之家（Casa Emma），HW Studio试图通过光来塑造同样的宁静氛围，雕刻出建筑的轮廓，并探索如何捕捉光因时间的变化而变化的动态规律，以此来打动居住者，就像他们当时参观博物馆时所感受到的一样。
In the mesmerizing Casa Emma, HW Studio sought to shape the same serene atmosphere through light, sculpting the building's silhouette and exploring how to capture the dynamic patterns of light as it changes over time, in order to move the occupants in the same way they felt when they visited the museum at the time.
HW Studio dug out a Purépecha-like granary-like opening from the building's volume, giving Casa Emma a more three-dimensional feel, both in terms of form and interior structure. The interior is entirely made of wood, with the aim of evoking more explicitly the memories of traditional buildings, respecting them and giving them a proper continuity.
SPACE
空间划分
03
该建筑坐落在一块纵深为4m x 10m的场地上，不仅需要以天顶的方式解决采光和通风问题，还需要非常有效地利用空间，避免浪费。入口走廊位于前部，以便于进入；中心是一个开放式区，容纳了起居室、餐厅和厨房，它们之间没有硬性分割。
The building sits on a site that is 4m x 10m in depth, and not only did it need to solve the problem of light and ventilation in the form of a ceiling, but it also needed to utilize the space very efficiently to avoid wastage. The entrance corridor is located at the front to allow easy access; at the center is an open plan area housing the living room, dining room and kitchen, with no rigid division between them.
The geometry of the building and the purity of the materials give Casa Emma a unique look that makes it stand out from the crowd. The light-colored façade is designed as a piece of floating “cotton”, which not only reduces its visual bulk, but also blurs the boundaries of the space by the movement and reflection of light, aiming to create a memorable experience for the user.
TRIBUTE
致敬光之美
04
这座建筑尝试邀请人们沉浸于一个由光所构建的情感世界和自我意识之中，Casa Emma的灵感大都来源于Paula Rego，它们之间很好地展现了当地文脉的内在联系。
The building tries to invite people to immerse themselves in a world of emotions and self-consciousness constructed by light, and Casa Emma is mostly inspired by Paula Rego, which demonstrates the intrinsic connection of the local culture.
