架构师提供的文本描述。住宅Cugat Natura中心位于圣库加特德尔瓦莱斯市(巴塞罗那)最和平、最专属的地区之一，享有当地高尔夫俱乐部最优越的景观之一，并可直接进入市中心。

Text description provided by the architects. The Residential Cugat Natura Center is located in one of the most peaceful and exclusive zones of the city of Sant Cugat del Vallès (Barcelona), enjoying one of the most privileged views of the Golf Club of the locality and a directly access to the city center.

这类项目的一个重要方面是试图了解哪些用户将使用这个中心，以及他们的需求。在这个居住中心，我们可以清楚地区分两个不同的用户，一方面，那些没有任何程度依赖性的人，他们希望在他们的共同生活中拥有一个居住中心为他们提供的设施，另一方面，那些依赖程度较低、高度依赖的人需要得到专业人员的照顾和处理。

One important aspect of this kind of project is trying to understand which kind of users will use this center, and the needs that they have. In this residential center we can clearly differentiate between two different users; on one hand, those who haven’t got any degree of dependence, and that would like to have in their common lives the facilities that a residential center offers them, and on the other hand, people with a low-medium-high degree of dependence who need to be looked after and handled by professionals.

在这些房舍下，作为项目的关键，设计了一个由两座建筑物组成的住宅中心。这两栋楼都有一层，再加上三层，由两个地下室连接起来。第一卷被指定为老年住宅，供有一定程度依赖性的用户使用，而另一卷，更远的地方，是可获得中心所有服务的辅助公寓。

Under those premises as a crux of the project, a residential center made up of two building has been designed. Both buildings have a ground floor plus three floors more, linked between them by the two basements. The first volume is earmarked as a geriatric residential, for users with some degree of dependence, and the other volume, further away, are assisted apartments with access to all the services of the center.

居住中心必须提供与入户前相同或更好的生活质量。它必须是一个令人愉快的居住、共存和参观的地方，并为那些可能要在那里度过最后几天的人们创造出鼓舞人心的感觉。

A residential center is required to provide a quality of life equal to or better than what their users used to have before entering. It has to be a pleasant place to live, coexist and also to visit, and create encouraging sensations to the people that are probably going to spend the last days of their lives there.

为了实现这一目标，该住宅中心不仅拥有17.000平方米左右的建筑面积，用于客房、服务和多价房，还拥有近4.000平方米的绿色外部区域，供与中心工作人员一起散步和活动。

To make this possible, the residential center not only has a build surface around 17.000 m2 for rooms, services and polyvalent rooms, it is also surrounded by about almost 4.000 m2 of green exterior zones for taking a walk and do activities with the staff from the center.

当局已就楼宇的性能进行研究，以取得最大的效益，无论是在住屋方面，还是在使用者服务方面。

The performance of the buildings has been studied to achieve the maximum benefits, either in terms of occupation or user services.
