Alphabet-Shaped Abodes

The 'X House' by Cadaval & Sola-Morales is a Hilltop Oasis

— January 23, 2013 — Art & Design
The 'X House' by Cadaval & Sola-Morales is located in the beautiful hills in Cabrils near the outskirts of Barcelona, Spain. The breathtaking abode is perched on a slope with exposed views from every angle.

The 'X House' is remarkable, impeccably designed and takes advantage of the lush landscape surrounding it. The main building is literally in the shape of an "x" and from an aerial viewpoint one can witness the full design and the attention to detail. The stunning house features a sunken pool and a terrifying staircase that descends through the property.

There are plenty of interesting and fun features in this house. It comes with all the normal amenities of a home, but has stunning views. The bonus to the 'X House' by Cadaval & Sola-Morales is it is exposed in the front/rear allowing for optimal light and scenery.
