Prévost博士住宅项目位于靠近市中心的一个住宅区，正处于城市化进程中。该地区的总体规划，对其背景无动于衷，部分忽略了地形，要求在一个由独立别墅和整齐的花园组成的社区中间建造一个坚固的L型八层建筑。一个密集的计划，受到住房法和经济压力的严格管制，打算将社会住房和可负担得起的公寓进行预定的混合。
Dr. Prévost housing project is situated in a residential neighbourhood close to the city centre and in the process of being urbanized. The master plan of the area, insensible to its context and partly ignoring the topography, demands a sturdy L-shaped, eight story building in the middle of a neighbourhood composed of individual villas with neat gardens. A dense programme, severely regulated by housing laws and economical pressure, intends for a predefined mix of social housing and affordable condominiums.
意识到这一地区的规模对比和深刻的社会和物理变革，新的建筑旨在刺激社区意识和创造一个积极的身份。
Conscious of the contrasting scales and the profound social and physical transformation of the neighborhood, the new architecture aims at stimulating the sense of community and creating a positive identity.
突破了建筑规范的限制，该部分对倾斜的地面做出了反应。三个半层的分割构成了L的长翼，地下停车场适应了现有的斜坡，以减少经济影响并调整其物理质量。一个宽大的公共门廊将104个住房单元联系在一起，连接底层的入口走廊和楼上公寓的门廊。不同高度的纪念柱强调了空间的公共性，并在西南面的院子里设置了框架。衔接内部和外部、私人和公共之间的门槛，门廊提供了庇护，也是一个社会互动的场所。
Bending the limits of building codes, the section reacts to the sloping ground. Three half-level splits compose the long wing of the L and the underground parking adapts to the existing slope, in order to reduce the economic impact and adjust its physical mass. A wide common portico ties together the 104 housing units, connecting the entry hallways at the ground floor and the porches of the apartments upstairs. Monumental columns of various heights emphasize the public character of the space and frame the courtyard on the southwest. Articulating the threshold between inside and outside, the private and the public, the portico offers shelter, as well as a place for social interaction.
内部楼梯间的分层设计使每个公寓都能住在自己的楼层，并能进入电梯。私密性的程度–从院子，通过入口大厅到独立的楼道–由地板上的菱形图案刻度来表示。一个开放的中庭延伸到七个楼层，完成了公共空间的空间图形。在L型的交汇处，一个胭脂红的楼梯螺旋式上升到天空，每层都有半圆形的阳台。
A split level in the interior stairwells allows for each apartment to dwell on its own floor and access to the elevator. The degree of privacy —from the courtyard, through the entry halls to the separate landings— is indicated by the lozenge pattern scale on the floor. An open atrium extends over seven floors completing the spatial figure of the common space. At the intersection of the L, a carmine red staircase spirals up to the sky with semicircular balconies at each level.
