In the beautiful but cold and windy Iceland, there is a summer house called Ylja, whose name means warmth, for being the shelter and symbol of union for a Mexican-Icelandic family. The house was built in a rural area near the capital, specifically in the municipality of Grimsnes.

在美丽但寒冷多风的冰岛，有一座名为Ylja的避暑别墅，其名字的意思是温暖，因为它是墨西哥-冰岛家庭的庇护所和团结的象征。这所房子建在首都附近的农村地区，特别是在格里姆斯内斯市。

One of the main factors to consider in the project was the natural context. The project is located near the shore of Lake Úlfljótsvatn, one of Icelands most important bodies of water. Ylja, surrounded by breathtaking views of the lake, the ever-changing fields and mountains that transform with the passing of the seasons. Dark, cold winters with glittering snow-capped mountains and unmissable northern lights, as well as spectacular summers with endless days of contemplation. Therefore, the shape of the house has been designed and situated in such a way that it has a 180 degree view and blends in with this wonderful landscape to look as natural as possible.

该项目要考虑的主要因素之一是自然环境。该项目位于冰岛最重要的水体之一Úlfljótsvatn湖岸边。Ylja，周围环绕着令人叹为观止的湖景，不断变化的田野和山脉，随着季节的流逝而变化。黑暗、寒冷的冬天，闪闪发光的雪山和不容错过的北极光，以及壮观的夏天和无尽的沉思。因此，房子的形状和位置经过精心设计，使其具有 180 度的视野，并与这片美妙的景观融为一体，看起来尽可能自然。

Iceland is a place where climate is the main factor when designing and constructing a building. The building restrictions are minimal, and the land surface had no significant slopes, so the main constraint was the weather and climate, as it was only possible to build during the summer. At the same time, the restrictions of the project were determined in terms of square meters, materials and heights.

冰岛是一个在设计和建造建筑物时以气候为主要因素的地方。建筑限制很小，地表没有明显的坡度，因此主要限制是天气和气候，因为只能在夏季建造。同时，该项目的限制是根据平方米，材料和高度确定的。

Casa Ylja arose from the desires of a family to conceive a meeting and gathering point where everyone could connect and share new experiences outside of their daily lives. The internal layout of the house was designed to achieve this goal, where the warm and familiar space is distributed in the particular customs of this multicultural family, placing the dining area as the central part of the house, following the rich Mexican culinary culture, where the after-dinner conversation acquires great prominence in these spaces.

Casa Ylja源于一个家庭的愿望，即构思一个聚会和聚会点，每个人都可以在日常生活之外建立联系并分享新的体验。房子的内部布局就是为了实现这一目标而设计的，温暖而熟悉的空间分布在这个多元文化家庭的特定习俗中，将用餐区作为房子的中心部分，遵循丰富的墨西哥烹饪文化，餐后谈话在这些空间中获得了极大的突出地位。

The construction materials used are Cross Laminated Timber (CLT) from MM Holtz, chosen for its tone, interior appearance and ease of installation; Lerki wood for facades and different types of membranes such as Transpir EVO 90, Transpir EVO 340 and Vapor Stop from Rothroblaas.

使用的建筑材料是 MM Holtz 的正交胶合木 （CLT），因其色调、内部外观和易于安装而被选中;用于外墙和不同类型的膜的 Lerki 木材，例如 Transpir EVO 90、Transpir EVO 340 和 Rothroblaas 的 Vapor Stop。

In the interior of the house, the color palette was kept neutral, trying not to generate an outstanding contrast with the immediate context. The natural tone of the CLT laminate wood was used, integrating subtle accents of green, black and white as a secondary color.

在房屋内部，调色板保持中性，尽量不与周围环境形成鲜明的对比。使用了CLT层压木的自然色调，将绿色、黑色和白色的微妙色调作为次要颜色。

Despite the challenges, the house features: a hot tub, as it is customary in Iceland to have such a habit; septic tank, as there are no drainage connections in the area; geothermal water supply; radiant floor heating; and good thermal insulation. Hydraulic pipes had to be laid at a depth of 1.50 meters to prevent them from freezing and bursting.

尽管面临挑战，但房子的特点是：一个热水浴缸，因为在冰岛有这样的习惯;化粪池，因为该地区没有排水连接;地热水供应;地板辐射供暖;和良好的隔热性。液压管必须铺设在 1.50 米的深度，以防止它们冻结和爆裂。
