空间再利用的创新与挑战：Covelo House项目是对城市历史肌理的尊重与创新性改造的典范。项目选取了波尔图市特有的“城市岛屿”半独立式住宅作为改造对象，这种住宅历史悠久，承载着城市的发展记忆，同时也面临着空间狭小、居住条件有限的挑战。建筑师巧妙地利用仅有的4x4米的室内空间，通过现代的楼梯连接上下两层，实现功能分区。设计师保留了石墙，并将其涂成白色，以增加室内亮度。这种手法在保留历史痕迹的同时，注入了现代设计的元素，赋予了老建筑新的生命力，体现了对历史文脉的尊重，也展示了在有限空间内实现功能多样化的可能性。

内外对比的视觉语言与空间利用：项目的精髓在于内外空间对比的巧妙运用。从外观来看，建筑师选择黑色的体量来突出入口，并以对比鲜明的百叶窗强调窗户的存在，这种设计语言赋予了老建筑全新的视觉形象。室内空间则以白色为主，通过镜面等材质的运用，最大程度地拓展了视觉空间，营造出通透、明亮、现代的居住氛围。尤其是贯穿两层的楼梯设计，不仅连接了上下空间，也成为视觉焦点，其起始于厨房、结束于卧室的设计，体现了对空间利用的极致追求。这种内外反差的设计，既保留了建筑的历史感，又注入了现代生活的活力，实现了历史与现代的完美融合。

功能与美学的和谐统一：Covelo House项目展现了建筑师在有限空间内实现功能与美学和谐统一的高超技艺。项目在狭小的空间内，容纳了客厅、厨房、卧室和浴室，并实现了各个功能区域的合理布局。通过对光线的巧妙利用，例如浴室的镜面设计，以及室内白色的主色调，都有效地放大了空间感。建筑师在设计中注重细节，如楼梯的设计、百叶窗的色彩选择等，都体现了对美学价值的追求。项目不仅满足了基本的居住需求，更提升了居住的品质。这种对功能性和美学性的兼顾，使得Covelo House成为一个令人赞赏的城市更新项目，也为其他类似项目的改造提供了宝贵的经验。

建筑师提供的文字描述城市岛屿是波尔图市历史的重要组成部分，自19世纪以来一直是该市非常常见的住房类型。它们由半独立式房屋组成，建在资产阶级房屋的长露台上。它们是小房子，通常有一扇门和一扇窗户，面向通道走廊，组成岛屿的所有其他房子都通过通道走廊分布。
Text description provided by the architects. Urban islands are an important part of the history of the city of Porto, having been a very common type of housing in the city from the 19th century onwards. They were composed of semi-detached houses, built in the long patio of the bourgeois houses. They were small houses, usually with a door and a window facing the access corridor through which all the other houses that made up the island were distributed.

最初，城市岛屿的建造是为了安置贫困劳动者及其家人，他们搬到城市寻找工作。多年来，城市岛屿变得拥挤不堪，不健康，生活条件恶劣。
Originally, urban islands were built to house the working poor and their families, who moved to the city in search of work. Over the years, urban islands have become overcrowded and unhealthy, with poor living conditions.

20世纪70年代，葡萄牙政府启动了一项重新安置计划，旨在拆除城市岛屿，并将居民重新安置在城市郊区的社会社区。尽管许多岛屿已被摧毁，但许多其他岛屿仍作为城市记忆的一部分留在城市中，试图从与通常定义社会社区的更非个人的一面相矛盾的角度来更新自己。
In the 1970s, the Portuguese government started a rehousing program, with the aim of demolishing the urban islands and relocating their inhabitants in social neighbourhoods that were built on the outskirts of the city. Although many of the islands have been destroyed, many others still remain in the city as part of its memory, trying to renew itself in the perspective of contradicting the more impersonal side that often defines social neighbourhoods.

正是在这种尝试中，这个项目出现了，这是一个重新思考城市这些独特和历史空间中住房的机会。该基地是城市岛屿上典型的半独立式房屋之一，宽4米，深4米，有两层，三扇窗户和一扇门。
It is precisely in this attempt that this project arises, an opportunity to rethink housing in these unique and historic spaces of the city. The base is one of those typical semi-detached houses on urban islands, measuring 4 meters across, 4 meters deep, with two floors, 3 windows and a door.

拟议的干预措施分为两层，通过一个现代楼梯相互连接，将我们从公共空间（客厅和厨房）运送到私人空间（卧室和浴室）。
The proposed intervention is divided over the two floors of the house, which are interconnected through a contemporary staircase that transports us from the public space - living room and kitchen - to the private space - bedroom and bathroom.

客厅和厨房是一个单独的空间，中间有一扇房子的窗户，楼梯的存在给我们留下了深刻的印象，楼梯从厨房的柜台开始，以一个黑色的体量结束，我们通过它到达楼上。这是一间卧室，与一间伪装的浴室共存，其镜面体积扩大了空间，并反射了通过两扇窗户进入的光线。
The living room and kitchen are a single space, punctuated by one of the house's windows and strongly marked by the presence of the staircase, which starts at the counter in the kitchen and ends in a black volume through which we reach the upper floor. Here is the bedroom that cohabits with a camouflaged bathroom in a mirrored volume that expands the space and reflects the light that enters through the two windows.

现有的石墙被漆成白色，增加了内部的亮度，与之形成对比的当代元素并置，赋予每栋房子独特的身份。
The existing stone walls are painted white, increasing the luminosity inside, to which contemporary elements in a contrasting color are juxtaposed, giving each house a unique identity.

从外面看，这种干预是由黑色的体积来表示的，它清晰地显示了入口门，以及放置在每个窗户上的新百叶窗的对比色。
From the outside, the intervention is denoted by the black volume that enunciates the entrance door, as well as by the contrasting color of the new shutters placed on each of the windows.
