架构师提供的文本描述。我们做的第一件事就是考虑人民和未来的居民。这幢大楼必须有一百多间出租房屋，其中有一两间供老年人使用的卧室。

Text description provided by the architects. The first thing we did was to think about the people, about the future inhabitants. The building had to have more than one hundred rental houses with one or two bedrooms for the elderly.

我们考虑了老年人对这座建筑的特点有何贡献。关键是想象他们将如何生活在里面。我们可以看到他们在陶罐里照料植物，以及这些植物是如何像绿色的叶栅一样从窗户和栏杆上垂下来的。我们还可以看到他们坐在阳光下，欣赏风景，聚在一起聊天，在阳台上互相交谈.这就是我们的想法，让大型南面露台俯瞰景观。此外，将梯田错开-在一个梯级上-将使我们能够为最多的家庭提供一个露台。

We thought about how the elderly would contribute to the building’s characteristics. The key was to imagine how they would live in it. We could see them taking care of plants in ceramic pots, and how all these plants would hang down from the windows and railings like a green cascade. We could also see them sitting in the sun, enjoying the views and gathering together for a chat, talking to each other across the balconies... This is how we got the idea of having large south-facing terraces looking out onto the landscape. Moreover, having the terraces staggered –in a cascade, - would allow us to give a terrace to the highest number of homes.

我们知道，这座建筑的形状类似于老式的假日酒店和住宅。从他们那里，我们采取了一些建筑资源来开发我们的项目。还有什么比在度假时结束我们的生命更好的吗？该网站也赞成这一选择。我们在萨巴德尔镇(Sabadell)的边缘有一个地块，该镇是面向南方的，在一个巨大的公园前，可以看到巴塞罗那的Colserola和Tibiabo的壮丽景色。

We know that the shape of the building resembles those of old-fashioned holiday hotels and residences. From them, we have taken some architectonic resources to develop our project. Is there anything nicer than ending our lives as if we were on holidays? The site also favoured this option. We had a plot at the edge of the town of Sabadell which was south-oriented and in front of a huge park which has magnificent views of Collserola and Tibidabo in Barcelona.

此外，该地点位于一条充满公共设施的城市地带的尽头，在南端的一个大公园达到顶峰。为了减轻干预力度，也为了在街道和公园的街道上保持一定的透明度，决定将该项目分成两个街区。在两者之间，树木和花坛将确保“空间”的连续性。

Moreover, the site is located at the end of an urban strip full of public facilities, which culminates in a great park at the south end. In order to lighten the intervention and also to allow some transparency on the streets of the neighbourhood and the park, it was decided to split the program into two blocks. In between, trees and flowerbeds would ensure the "space” continuity.

除房屋外，大楼还必须包括室内和室外公共空间、日间中心(配有多功能客厅、一些教室、行政办公室以及相应的技术和服务区域)和一个停车场。

Apart from the houses, the building also had to include common spaces - both indoors and outdoors- , a day centre (with a versatile living room, some classrooms, administrative offices and the respective technical and service areas) and a car park .

交错梯田效应是该工程的主要主题，将在不同层次上得到解决。在类型上，垂直地在一个或两个卧室间穿插着露台。结构上，用简单的金属支撑混凝土网状结构的缝隙。在设备方面，插入一个精心设计的管道系统，倾斜在限制梯田的双陶瓷叶片墙内。

The staggered terrace effect, the main leitmotiv of the project, would be solved on various levels. Typologically, vertically interspersing one or two bedrooms houses with terraces. Structurally, with simple metallic braces that support the gaps in the concrete reticular structure. In terms of facilities, inserting a carefully designed system of pipes, inclined inside the double ceramic blade walls that limit the terraces.

在建筑方面，我们已确保尽量采用最少的解决方法和不同的材料，以及尽可能采用标准化预制，以平衡成本与公屋的情况。同时，传统的资源被用来确保家庭的最佳舒适，交叉通风，屋檐，门廊和阳台的防晒，浅色外墙，通风屋顶，良好的绝缘等。

In terms of construction, we have made sure to resort to the minimum number of solutions and different materials, as well as to standardized prefabrication whenever possible, trying to balance the cost with the condition of public housing. At the same time, traditional resources are used to ensure optimum comfort for homes, crossed ventilation, eaves, porches and balconies for sun protection, light-coloured facades, ventilated roofs, good insulation, etc.
