这两座建筑位于日内瓦周边农业带的边缘，充分利用了优越的地理位置，提供了广阔的视野，可以俯瞰田野、菜园，以及更远的Salève山。在Plan-les-Ouates市政府的推动下，该项目通过竞争被选中，包括建造68套出租和首次购买的社会住房。
Standing at the edge of the agricultural belt surrounding Geneva, these two buildings take full advantage of a privileged location offering a broad view overlooking fields, vegetable gardens, and further, Salève mountain. Promoted by the municipality of Plan-les-Ouates, this project, chosen through a competition, consists of the construction of 68 units of rental and first-time buyer social housing.
这个项目的目的是要证明在瑞士背景下建造固体石材的经济和建设性可行性。基于这一概念的优势，该项目以简单合理的建筑语言来表达，其规划由三个连续的环组成。这些建筑全部由实心石块建成，没有混凝土承重构件。在公共区域和公寓里，承重环都保持着原始状态。
The aim of this project is to demonstrate the economic and constructive feasibility of building solid stone in the Swiss context. Based on the strength of the concept, the project is expressed in a simple and rational architectural language with a plan comprised of three successive rings. Entirely built with solid blocks of stone, these buildings have no concrete loadbearing elements. In both the common areas and the flats, the loadbearing rings are left in a raw state.
由四块190×80厘米的石块组成的墙体的音质，表明了实施背后的意图，揭示了锯子的痕迹，特别是，暴露了它是由不同的古代力量构成的。用天然材料建造是Archiplein用环境和气候问题的标尺来测试当前建筑生产模式的机会。
The sone-setting of the walls composed of four 190×80 cm blocks imposes the format, suggests the intention behind the implementation, reveals traces of the saw, and especially, exposes the different ancient forces of which it is comprised. Building with natural materials is the opportunity for Archiplein to test the current model of building production against the yardstick of environmental and climate issues.
低调的立面呈现出反映技术需要的装饰性元素，例如，檐口将雨水远远地排斥在立面之外，并通过它投下的阴影强调了地板，以及通过内向角对立面进行的镂空处理。在展览期间，参观者经常看到他们的手指划过一万块石头，或者惊讶地表示，尽管外部温度很高，但立面却很凉爽。
The understated façades present ornamental elements that reflect technical necessities, such as, for example, the cornice that repels rainwater well away from the façades and underscores by the shadow it casts the floors and the hollowing out treatment of the façade by means of an inward-facing corner. During showings, visitors are often observed running their fingers across one of the 10,000 blocks of stone or remarking with amazement the coolness of the façades despite high exterior temperatures.
