무르샤 주변, 주거단지 내 전망 좋은 경사지 위에 자리한 크로스드 하우스의 인상적인 외형은 주변환경과의 적극적인 조우를 위한 건축의 결과물로 엇갈려 배치한 두개의 블록이 생성하는 기하학적 형태에서 시작된다. 상부에 적층된 매우 긴 볼륨은 (폭5미터, 길이 20미터의 크기) 흡사 다루기 쉬운 토이블록처럼 저층부와 35도 각도로 틀어져 배치, 각 레벨의 이상적인 전망과 향 확보와 (10미터 길이의)캔틸레버의 인상적인 장면을 연출한다. 캔틸레버는 또한 저층부 하우스 내부로 유입되는 직사광선 방지와 풀장에 안락한 그늘을 생성한다.
이러한 형상을 조직하는 표현의 힘(구성법칙)은 두개의 볼륨 사이에 흐르는 미묘한 관계 속에서 강화되며 각기 다른 레벨에서 각기 다른 방향으로 주변과 조우한다. 저층부는 남동측으로 긴 띠창을 통해 채광과 뷰를 확보는 사이, 상부층은 끝단에 창문을 디자인하며 집중도 높은 전망을 확보한다.

On a site in the higher part of a residential zone in the environs of Murcia is located the singular, crossed house with views to the adjacent mountains, the “Sierra de la Pila” and “Valle del Ricote”. From the ambiguity, being on a site of a future densely built-up area and at the same time enjoying today’s unsurpassable views, was born the idea of the project: to orientate the lower level of the house to the garden’s intimacy and grant to the user at the superior level the delight of its views considering future edification and the influence of solar radiation.

This conceptual setup is materialized by a geometrical operation, the rotation of two elements, as if it were two construction toy blocks that are stacked and handled easily. The stacked oblong volumes, of a length of 20m and a depth of about 5m, are rotated by 35 degrees so that the extremes orientate to the most favored views and generate at the same time cantilevers of about 10m length.
These cantilevers, together with the rotation between both volumes, provide the necessary sun protection of the facade and pool residence.
The expressive power of this formal configuration, very elementary in principle, is further enhanced by a subtle distinction between the two volumes: the edges are rounded according to the orientation of the main openings of each level reinforcing this way the autonomous nature of the volumes. Thus, on the ground floor rounded transversal edges frame the big opening to the southeast, upstairs such treatment is applied to the longitudinal edges framing the views of the rooms at each end of the volume. This also apparently reduces the contact surface between the two stacked volumes and reinforces the oblong nature of their geometrical form.
The contact to the ground is solved using again the same mechanism of rotation. This time a third, buried volume corresponding to the pool deck rotates with respect to the two volumes of the house to resolve the transition between garden ground and dwelling.
The surface’s treatment of the concrete volumes provides a contrast between the outside with a rough finish created by a shuttering of sand blasted pine strips and an interior of smooth finishes.
