周围环境的特征明显地充满了农村色彩，显示出低的建筑密度，那里的建筑很少超过一层，并面对着广阔和非凡的自然景观。
The characterisation of the surroundings is clearly filled with rural aspects, revealing a low construction density, where the buildings rarely have more than a floor and are confronted with a vast and extraordinary natural landscape.
将要建造的房子打算与周围的景观建立视觉关系，主要是城堡和种植着橄榄树或杏仁树的惊人的山谷。另一方面，在这片土地的中心，有一个特殊的先存物，具有相当有趣的特点，既是为了保护它的遗产性质，也是为了保护它的美丽和兴趣，这就是石制的打谷场--花岗岩和石板，有巨大的尺寸和相当有趣的设计。打谷场本身有15米乘15米。
The house to be constructed intends to establish a visual relation with the surrounding landscape, mainly the castle and the astonishing valleys planted with olive trees or almond trees. On the other hand, in the centre of this terrain there is a particular pre-existence with rather interesting characteristics, both for its patrimonial nature, and for the beauty and interest in safeguard, which is the threshing-floor in stone - granite and slate, in pieces of huge dimensions and a rather interesting design. The threshing-floor itself has 15m by 15m.
出于这个原因，我们打算把房子设置在比它稍高的位置，把它从打谷场上释放出来，这样它就不会破坏打谷场，这样它就可以把打谷场作为一个休息的地方，作为一个外面的露台，作为一个明确的平台，这样房子就可以根据它的措施植入，并接近它，但同时也有一些形式上的自主权。
For this reason, the intention is to set the house on a slightly higher level than this one, releasing it physically from the threshing-floor so that it wouldn’t pervert it and so that it can use it as a resting place, as an outside terrace, as a well-defined platform, whereby the house is implanted according to its measures and close to it, but with some formal autonomy at the same time.
在决定植入的过程中，一个极其重要的事实是，这套房子将保证大部分树木的维护，使房子被植被包围，正如在现有的照片中可以看到的那样。
It was also extremely important in the decision of its implantation the fact that the set would guarantee the maintenance of the majority of the trees, leaving the house surrounded by vegetation as it is possible to see in the photos of the existing.
这座房子由一层楼组成，主要的入口实际上是在地形的入口处，虽然有几个窗户可以直接通向外部。
This house is composed by one floor with the main entrance practically in the threading of the terrain’s entrance, although there are several windows that allow the direct access to the exterior.
外部使用的材料是：页岩砖石，与工地上现有的相同，覆盖所有的结构墙；白色混凝土用于可见的下部和上部的板；混凝土将用木板支撑，没有任何修饰，这样就可以在上面印出木材的纹理。
The materials used on the exterior are: shale’s masonry identical to the one existent on the site, covering all of the structural walls; the white concrete for the lower and upper slabs that are visible; the concrete will be coffered with wood boards without any finishing so that it can be printed on it the wood’s texture.
在内部，社交区作为一种开放的空间，与厨房直接相连的社交区和带有三间卧室、壁橱和浴室的更私密的区域之间有一个坦率的划分，因为实现这一过渡的元素是一个具有更亲密特性的客厅。壁炉的体积实现了这种分离，同时在视觉上连接了两个房间，因为它对两边都有效。这个体积在空间中会有一个特别的主角。这里也有天顶照明，因为它是房子里最内部的部分。
On the interior, the social zone works as a kind of open space and there is a franc division between this which is directly connected with the kitchen and the more private zona with three bedrooms, closets and bathrooms, being that the element that does this transition is a living room with a more intimate character. The fireplace’s volume does this separation, while connecting both rooms visually, since it works for both sides. This volume will have a particular protagonism in the space. Here there is also zenithal lighting, since it’s the most interior part of the house
现有的墙壁，在这个国家的这个地区是传统的，在周围的所有地形中都被修复了。房屋的轻盈性因其四角的分割而更加突出，不对称的原因各不相同，有的是为了寻找景观框架，有的是由于主导风向，甚至是阳光照射。
The existing walls, traditional in this area of the country, are rehabilitated in all of the surrounding terrain. The lightness of the house is accentuated by its fragmentation on the four corners, asymmetric for different reasons, either looking for a landscape framing, due to the dominant winds or even sun exposure.
