架构师提供的文本描述。X House项目的目的是通过对系统、语言的定义，甚至通过一种独特的形式来解决当我们阅读特定的给定站点时会出现的一些询问：如何保护和给位于网站顶部的一棵令人印象深刻的松树以主人公精神，这使得从街道进入和接近房子非常复杂；如何避免在海景和山景之间作出决定，并允许两种景象朝相反的方向发展；如何通过形成毗连建筑的存在来中和，建立一种否认邻居的假隔离；如何使主景翻一番，使房子前部和后部的正面景色有质量；如何解决这么多的一个简单的运动，满足所有以前的目标，而不优先或明确制定对其中任何一个优先事项的优先事项。这种形式是一种独特的形式，是对每一种挑战的个别答案进行长期搜索的结果；因此，这种形式不是一种先验的，而是努力给出一个单一的答复，以满足设计过程中提出的每一个问题。

Text description provided by the architects. The X House project aims to solve by the definition of a system, language, or even through a unique form, a number of inquiries that rise up when we read the specific given site: how to protect and give protagonism to an impressive pine, that is located on the top of the site, and that makes access and approximation to the house extremely complex from the street; how to avoid deciding between the views to the sea and those to the mountains, and allow both visions in opposite directions; how to neutralize through form the presence of the contiguous constructions, to build up a fake isolation that denies the neighbours; how to double the main views, permitting quality frontal views from the front and the rear of the house; how to resolve so many a priories with a simple movement that answers to all of the previous aims without prioritizing nor explicitly formulating a response to any of them. The form, a unique form, is the result of a long process of search of individual answers to each of those challenges; thus, the form is not an a priori, but an effort to give a unitary response that satisfies each of the questions rose up in the design process.

X楼也是一种建设性的探索：一种经常用于桥梁和隧道等基础设施建设的技术，是为了满足建筑规模而开发的，目的是提高效率，降低施工成本。采用基于高密度混凝土的混合技术，可以将材料在高压下突出到单面模板上，并在极短的时间内获得高的结构抗力。因此，不需要使用双面模板(这将是正常的施工程序)，就可以设计出6米高的连续墙。因此，房子是特定技术的活生生的表现，并在其皮肤中积累了在建造过程中获得的多样和持续的知识。

The X House is also a constructive exploration: a technique regularly used for the infrastructural construction such as bridges and tunnels, is here developed to meet the architectural scale, aiming to incorporate efficiency, and reduction of costs to the construction. The use of a mixed technique based on the application of a high-density concrete allows projecting the material at a high pressure to a single-sided formwork, and to acquire high structural resistance in extremely short periods of time. Thus, it is possible to project continuous 6m high walls without the need to use a two-sided formwork (which would be the regular construction procedure). The house is therefore a living expression of the specific technique, and accumulates in its skin the diverse and continuous knowledge acquired within the process of construction.

这座房子位于巴塞罗纳郊外的卡布里尔斯山的上部。该网站，具有显著的景观和一个重要的斜坡，是从一个单一的街道，位于网站的顶部。房屋在工地内的位置符合尽量减少挖掘的目标，并在可能的范围内优化非占用土地的使用。通往这座房子的通道距离街道有两米远，该项目通过使用空白墙来寻找移情的方式-希望锚定在工地上，并从街道上消失；该项目显然优先考虑监督山谷的立面和景观。这房子有两层楼。顶层，除了设有停车场和允许进入房屋外，还被设想为业主的私人套房：主房，配有梳妆台和洗手间/厕所，以及宽敞的工作室。在较低的楼层，房子的前部和后部有着明显的区别；前部具有完全开放和公共的性质，在一个双高空间的起居室，旁边是一个厨房-餐厅，围绕着一张8米长的重要大理石桌。较低楼层的后部设有房间和服务区，通过露台可以直接看到山谷、大海和山的景观。

The house is located on the upper part of a hill in Cabrils, in the outskirts of Barcelona. The site, with remarkable views and an important slope, is accessed from a single street located at the top of the site. The location of the house within the site responds to the aim to minimize excavation and optimize, within possible, the use of the non-occupied land. The access to the house is two meters depressed from the street, and the project searches to empathise through the use of blank walls the desire to be anchored in the site and to disappear from the street; the project clearly prioritizes the façades and views overseeing the valley. The house has two floors. The top floor, beyond incorporating a parking and allowing the access to the house, is conceived as a private suite of the owners: main room, with dresser and washroom / toilet, and spacious studio. In the lower floor there is a clear distinction between the front and the rear of the house; the front part has a totally open and public nature, build up with a living area in a double high space next to a kitchen-dining room articulated around a significant marble table, 8m long. The rear part of the lower floor holds the rooms and service areas, which through the patios are given direct and protected views to the valley, the sea and the mountain.

主要是，X屋的项目使用形式来限定性质非常不同的空间，并为它们提供一个个性特征，总是把景观作为主要的演员。除了房屋正面的有效空间布局外，每个空间的景观都是主角。从丹·格雷厄姆的倒影中学到的是，当观察山时，海的形象总是存在的，而当看海时，这座山就像一幅倒影：一种洞察力的特质，丰富了房子的经验。

Mainly, the project of the X House uses form to qualify spaces of very different nature and provide them with an individual character, always incorporating landscape as a main actor. Beyond the effective spatial arrangement at the front of the house, the views are the protagonist in each space. And learning from Dan Graham’s reflections, the image of the sea is always present when observing the mountain, and the mountain appears as a reflection when looking at the sea: a perceptive quality that enriches the experience of the house.
