Appreciation towards Ensamble Studio for providing the following description:

Ca’n Terra项目是一座属于大地的居所。设计以自然的馈赠为基础，经过精心耕耘，将其转化成了富有家庭氛围的空间。通过不断将想法变为现实，人类的文明得以发展；这个项目则反其道而行之，用建筑诠释历史。设计的过程不再是从图纸到建筑实体，而是将已有体块转化为电子数据，用建筑的方式探索其几何内涵。

Ca’n Terra is the house of the earth. The fruit that nature gives us, as a found space; which requires tillage and cultivation to imbue the received offering with domesticity. If the history of civilization has greatly evolved transforming ideas into built work, in Ca’n Terra, the process is inverted and history interpreted to transform it into architecture. The transfer from drawing to built mass gives way to the translation of given matter to digital data through the architectural reading of a geological discovery.

空间原本是Mares采石场，具有工业逻辑；而作为人工采挖的壮观洞穴，其艺术潜能也不容忽视；此外，它还是Menorca岛屿上岩石景观的一部分，拥有矿物属性。找到这样一个在大地中挖出的空间，并将其转化成其他功能意味着要赋予空间新的叙事，以避免被废弃的命运。第一次来到这个空间时，设计师仿佛是探险者，装备了探照灯等照明工具，在岩石连续皱褶的表面上设置了无数镭射点，以进行毫米级的精确结构构建，再由设计师将其打磨成适宜居住的环境。在扫描的基础上，建筑师通过专业决策，诠释并重构了整个空间。因此，这次探索可以被看成一项新的工作，将洞穴变成可以思考自然的房间。无数壮观的建筑凌驾于环境之上，而此次项目的设计深入到了环境内部，找出其中供人生活的自由空间。

The discovered space has industrial logic as a former Mares stone quarry, artistic potential as sublime cavern carved by hand, and mineral nature as extract of the stony landscape on the island of Menorca. Finding this excavated space in the guts of the earth and reinventing its use implies writing a new story that can rescue it from its abandonment. As first contact we enter the space like explorers would do, equipped with the technology that expands our vision in the dark; throwing millions of laser points on the wrinkles of the continuous stone surface we register with millimetric precision the solid structure that was built for us and is now ready to be polished and inhabited. Behind the scan, the architect’s eye, directing, interpreting, creating the space again. That’s why the discovery is considered a new work, destined this time to become a room to contemplate nature. In lieu of an imposing action that many times architecture exerts on the environment, we propose a trip to the interior being of matter, and recognize the freedom with which it gives us spaces to live.
