这个名为“sa Vinyeta”的农场位于Ciutadella城市结构的边缘，在这个地方，城市电网规划的土地平面延伸处散布着孤立的土地，通常是房屋，其中一些房屋不久前还与小规模的农业或畜牧农场相连。“Sa Vinyeta”的特点是具有特殊历史意义的“农舍”构成了建筑遗产保护目录的一部分，具有高度的保护。这种保护影响到整个建筑，包括门面和最具代表性的空间的内部布局，如入口、楼梯和高贵的房间。“农舍”的高度比目前城市规划条例所允许的高度高得多，后者加上其独特的几何图形和插入它的平原地区，使它在该地点有了明确的参考。除了主楼的相关性外，还应强调一套石墙系统，将农场和老果园隔开和组织起来。农场还有一些小的附属建筑、棚屋和奶牛场，建筑价值很低，维修状况也很差。

The farm known as 'Sa Vinyeta' is located in the fringe of the urban fabric of Ciutadella, a place where the city grid plans encounter flat extensions of land dotted with isolated volumes, usually homes, some of which were linked up not so long ago to small-scale agricultural or livestock farms. 'Sa Vinyeta' was characterized by a 'Farm House' of particular historical significance that forms part of the Inventory of the Architectural Heritage Protection with a 'high degree of protection'. This protection affected the entire building, including both the facades and the interior layout of the most representative spaces, such as the entrances, the staircases and noble rooms. The 'Farm House' reaches a much greater height than the one currently allowed by the urban planning regulations, which, coupled with its unique geometry and the plain territory in which it is inserted, have made of it a clear reference in the site. In addition to the relevance of the main building, It should also be highlighted a system of stone walls that divide and organize the farm and old orchards. The farm also had some small ancillary buildings, sheds and dairies, with little architectonic value and in a poor state of repair.

所要求的方案包括：第一，修复现有建筑物；第二，扩大楼面面积，将其用作青年招待所。此外，靠近市中心和Ciutadella港的Sa Vinyeta的优越位置也为市政府开展其他类型的活动，如展览、会议等创造了机会。

The requested programme consists, first, in rehabilitating the existing building and, secondly, in expanding the floor area to use it as a Youth Hostel. Additionally, the excellent location of 'Sa Vinyeta', close to the city centre and the port of Ciutadella, also creates opportunities for the municipality to develop other types of activities such as exhibitions, conferences, etc.

该项目是同时开发的景观和建筑规模。其目的是建立一个新的综合体，在单一的逻辑下，将现有的要素与新的功能和建筑物结合起来。设计的参考要素是主要的既有建筑和景观的两个关键要素：平地的水平平面和干燥的石墙。

The project is developed simultaneously in both, a landscape and architectural scale. The aim is to create a new complex that integrates the existing elements with the new functions and buildings under a single logic. The reference elements to start the design were the main existing building and the two key elements of the landscape: the horizontal plane of the flat land and the dry stone walls.

该设计开始在现有的干燥石墙中创建一个新的景观分区。这一分区被正式确定为铺路层，确定了主要出入区域，组织了交通，并建立了不同的公共/私人区域。新的景观区和现有的干燥石墙之间的间隙确定了新建筑的位置，包括宿舍、餐厅、厨房和其他便利的居住空间。

The design started creating a new landscape zoning among the existing dry stone walls. This zoning was formalized with a paving layer that defined the main access areas, organized the circulations and established different public/private zones. The interstices between the new landscape zones and the existing ones dry stone walls defined the places to locate the new buildings containing the hostel rooms, dining areas, kitchen and other amenities living spaces.

这些新建筑的特点是其水平性和与现有干墙的线性关系。此外，这种与地面的关系突出体现在不同的建筑层(楼层和平顶)结合在一起，成为平面景观之上的另一层。外坡道和楼梯连接不同的建筑层和地面，从进入广场的公共空间是连接到上面的公共平台与景观。这种地板和屋顶的设计改变了建筑物的人为地形，并建立了一种与周围环境的连续性感。

The new buildings are characterized by its horizontality and its linear relation to the existing dry walls. In addition, this relation to the ground is highlighted by the integration of the different building levels (floors and flat roofs) as one more layer over the flat landscape. Exterior ramps and stairs connect the different building levels with the ground, and the public space from the access plaza is linked to upper public platforms with views. This design of floors and roofs transforms the building in an artificial topography and that establishes a sense of continuity with the surroundings.

“农舍”已由多个不同层次的小型公共空间进行翻新。它的平面屋顶是这些公共空间中的最后一个，是建筑群中的最高点，是欣赏景观水平、地平线、我们来自的地方和海洋的特权之地。

The 'Farm House' has been renovated with a number of small public spaces at different levels. Its flat roof is the last of these public spaces, the highest point in the complex, a privileged place from which to appreciate the landscape level, the horizon, the place where we come from, and the sea.
