Concrete dovecote transformed into children's playhouse by AZO Sequeira

小小的混凝土房子曾经作为鸽舍，现在经过葡萄牙AZO Sequeira Arquitectos Associados工作室的改造成为了一座花园游憩室。

A small concrete structure once used as a house for doves has been transformed by Portuguese studio AZO Sequeira Arquitectos Associados into a garden playroom.
      

先前的鸽舍位于客户Braga家花园后的废弃角落，他们要求AZO Sequeira团队将它变成可以使用的有效空间。

The former dovecote had sat derelict in the back garden of the clients' Braga home, so they asked the AZO Sequeira team to make it into a space that they could use.
   

建筑师的回复是在先前鸽子所在的架高空间中创造游憩室，同时下面空的区域可作为为家庭游泳池提供服务的浴室。

The architects' response was to create a playroom in the elevated space that the doves previously used, while the hollow area underneath now contains a bathroom serving the family's swimming pool.
     

“我们决定为孩子建一间游憩室以及为泳池服务的浴室。全家人都非常喜欢这个想法，”设计师说道。
   
“因魔力和幻想，当然还有儿时的梦想和记忆，我们想要一间游憩室，”他们继续说道。“我们将旧的鸽舍改造为代表这些记忆和幻想的小小混凝土树屋。”

"We decided to propose a playhouse for the children and a balneary to serve the pool. The whole family loved the idea," said the designers.
"We wanted a play room inspired by magic, fantasy and also by childhood dreams and memories," they continued. "We transformed the old dovecote into a minimal concrete 'tree house' that represents these memories and fantasies."
   

房子本身是裸露的混凝土，有着山墙屋顶，木材纹理墙和碉堡一样的结构。
   
它从坚固的石壁上升起，创造了漂浮的感觉。但它实际上是由中央的混凝土墙支撑，这些从外部是不可见的。

The house itself is a bare concrete, bunker-like structure with a gabled roof and timber-textured walls.
It is raised up over rugged stone walls, to create the impression that it floats. But it is actually supported by a central concrete wall that is barely visible from the exterior.
   

“我们寻找一种方式使它看起来像悬浮着的主要体块，像一间树屋一样，但同时它必须能够达到平衡、纯净的感觉，”建筑师说道。

"We looked for a way to make it seem like the main volume is levitating, like a tree house, but simultaneously it had to be balanced and pure," said the architects.
   

一些原有的细节依然保留着，像鸽子过去可以进入的方形洞口。
     
但是也加入了一些新的元素，包括银色木门和百叶窗，以及一个四四方方的金属入口。

Some original details remain, like the triangular holes that the doves would have used to enter.
But new elements have also been added, including a silver-toned wooden door and window shutters, and a boxy metal entrance portal.
     

内部的细节尽可能保持最小，但铺设了镶木地板和照明灯。
   
“我们希望室内没有多余的元素，并且逐渐由孩子们的作品和玩具所装饰”，设计团队补充道。

Details inside are kept as minimal as possible, but parquet flooring and lighting have been installed.
"The idea was that the interior was absent of superfluous elements and would be gradually decorated by the works and toys of the children," added the team.
     

2010年英国的一个类似项目中，伦敦Haworth Tompkins工作室将耐候钢插入废弃的维多利亚鸽舍里。

The Dovecote shares its name with a similar project in the UK – back in 2010, London studio Haworth Tompkins inserted a Corten steel artist's studio into a ruined Victorian dovecote.
