Cross House是位于瑞士Kilchberg的一座小型住宅，由Think Architecture设计。这座地标性建筑的四面都是锯齿状的，似乎与受保护的树木融为一体，偎依在地形上。以邻近的教堂和教堂区域的宽敞绿地和周围高大的树木环境为特征。否则，背景是非常异质的新旧核心区建筑的不同质量和表达。

Cross House is a minimal residence located in Kilchberg, Switzerland, designed by Think Architecture. This landmark building is indented on all sides, appearing to merge with the protected trees and nestle into the terrain. It is characterized by the adjacent church and the spacious green space of the church area and the surrounding tall tree environment. Otherwise, the context is very heterogeneous with older and newer core zone buildings of varying quality and expression.

该项目将自己视为旧的、有特色的核心区建筑的延续，但并不想复制它们，而是以现代方式重新诠释它们。新建筑显然从属于教堂，采用了封闭的教堂区域的形式，并创造了另一个绿意盎然的 "综合园艺"。

The project sees itself as a continuation of the old, characteristic core zone buildings, but does not want to copy them, but to reinterpret them in a contemporary way. The new building is clearly subordinate to the church, but adopts the gesture of the enclosed church area and creates another "hortus conclusus" with lush greenery.

这个点状建筑四面弯曲，并以这种形式与强大的山毛榉树以及精确降低的地形相呼应。体积的突起和凹陷使建筑显得更小，并使其和谐地嵌入到环境中，同时也使四面的开放空间更具吸引力。

The point building is bent in on four sides and reacts with this gesture to the mighty beech tree as well as to the punctual lowering of the terrain. The forward and backward leaping of the volume makes the building appear smaller and enables a harmonious embedding in the context as well as attractive open spaces on all sides.

每层的四套公寓围绕着一个中央楼梯间，在十字的中心有一个吸引人的、通风的空间。由于复杂的楼层规划，所有单元都受益于室内景观，精致的平面设计使其具有三面朝向。

The four apartments per floor are organized around a central stairwell, with an attractive void in the center of the cross. All units benefit from exciting interior views and a three-sided orientation due to the refined floor plan design.

夯实的混凝土墙被用于外墙和周围的墙壁，采用了由周围环境演变过来的灰色到米色色调。夯实的混凝土由垂直分组的哑光深棕色金属窗和预先风化的铜制金属屋顶来补充。

The rammed concrete walls - for the façade and surrounding wall - adopt the gray to beige tones of the evolved surroundings. The rammed concrete is complemented by vertically grouped windows in matte, dark brown metal and a metal roof made of pre-weathered copper.
