该建筑位于日内瓦Mervelet社区的高地上。在一个快速变化的住宅区的中心，这个地方有一个花园城市的遗迹，有分散的百年老屋和树木。
The building is located on the higher grounds of Geneva’s Mervelet neighbourhood. At the heart of a rapidly changing residential area, the site has the remains of a garden-city with scattered century-old houses and trees.
根据用途和环境的不同，建筑的外皮可以有几种表现力的叠加。它的反应就像居民与他们的感知和生活环境之间的一个敏感界面。面向南方和西方，预制混凝土模块的交替组装创造了一个有人居住的蜂巢结构。
Depending on use and context, the outside skin of the building can have several expressive overlays. It reacts like a sensitive interface between inhabitants and their perceived and lived environment. Facing south and west, the alternate assembly of prefabricated concrete modules creates the structure of an inhabited hive.
在柱廊上，不锈钢栏杆向前倾斜并逐渐旋转。这些栏杆创造了一个弧形的衬里，根据日光和位置的不同而被感知。这种安排既提供了亲密感，也提供了透明度。
On the loggias, stainless steel railings lean forward and rotate gradually. The create a curved lining that is perceived differently depending on daylight and location. This arrangement offers both intimacy and transparency.
建筑材料的粗犷组合在公共区域继续进行；地板上是抛光的混凝土板，墙壁上覆盖着水泥，楼梯的栏杆是铁制的。扶手和入口门使用的橡木，在进入公寓时创造了一种家庭和怀旧的感觉。
The rough combination of building materials continues in common areas; a polished concrete slab on the floor, walls covered with cement and iron for the stairs’ railings. The oakwood used for the handrail and entrance doors creates a domestic and nostalgic feeling when entering the apartments.
在公寓内部，宽大的走廊可以看到白天和夜晚的区域，并创造了一个具有多种用途的空间。在房间里，高低交替的窗户界定了体积。带有全宽玻璃窗的起居室一直延伸到木廊。这些外部居住区向周围的树木和风景投射。
Inside the apartments, the large hallway allows views across the day and night areas, and creates a space with multiple uses. In the rooms, alternating high and low windows define the volume. Living rooms with fullwidth glazed windows continue onto loggias. These exterior living quarters project themselves towards the surrounding trees and scenery.
这些类型和安排使住宅具有被花园包围的家庭住宅的独特属性。这样一来，这63个公共事业住房单元被设计成建筑-别墅。
These typologies and arrangements provide the dwellings with the distinctive attributes of a family house surrounded by a garden. In doing so, the 63 public utility housing units are designed as a Building-Villa.
