peer agreement (net): +1cellar Explanation: https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/cellar Literally. (Even if not used for wine purposes... ?) -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2019-06-05 15:02:39 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- It simply refers to the "basement" surface... The floor of a building which is partly or entirely below ground level. https://en.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/basement -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 19 hrs (2019-06-05 15:07:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- And of course 5 x 5 meters is a small basement area if it has to be habitable. I.e., you could have a pool table in such area, but it will be relatively tight. For a pantry probably would be big enough... :-) |

| Reference: refs. Reference information: Like you say, Wendy, for what I read, it seems that the architect has a constraint of 25m2 to build a house. I don't believe it's a cellar or a storage room, as the name of this project, which I believe is not yet built, is "Revolutionary House". I'm not sure what he means by "bodegas", it could just mean "surface" or perhaps "container" (as it seems to be a prefabricated house). I'd just say "...we found out that there was a 25m2 constraint...", o sth along those lines. I wouldn't risk saying "container" without being sure. This is one of the links I found: https://archkiosk.wordpress.com/2013/09/29/reconfiguration-p... The Revolutionary House project, an operable building that can fold up into a 5 x 5 x 5 meter cube, is still in R&D, but if successful will be an exciting addition into the contemporary discussion on prefabrication. HTH! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 3 hrs (2019-06-04 23:13:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Phone Bloks system proved to be a surprisingly apt analogy for a couple of Carnicero’s projects- Hangar 16, and the Revolutionary House. Maybe, you could say "bloks". |
