在瑞士，自战后建筑热潮以来，梯田式住宅一直是一种流行的建筑类型。凭借其阶梯式的体量、大露台和一望无际的视野，它为现代住房在丘陵地带的问题提供了解决方案。在该类型的最新版本中，通往地下停车场的入口已成为建筑的主入口，使其成为瑞士当代以汽车为中心的郊区生活方式的一部分。
In Switzerland, the terraced house has been a popular building type since the postwar construction boom. With its stepped volume, large terraces, and sweeping views, it provided a solution to issues of modern housing in a hilly landscape. In more recent versions of the type, the entry to the underground parking garage has become the building’s main entrance, making it part of Switzerland’s contemporary car-centered suburban lifestyle.
该排屋位于森林附近，可俯瞰乡村，体现了这种建筑类型的现代、反浪漫的特点。它的八套公寓有宽敞的露台，可以看到法国边境对面的阿尔萨斯农村的全景。与田园风光形成鲜明对比的是，该建筑的形式是高度理性的，是将可出租空间最大化的不懈努力的结果。
The terraced house is located near the forest overlooking the countryside and embraces the modern, anti-romantic character of this building type. Its eight apartments have spacious terraces with sweeping views of rural Alsace across the French border. In contrast to the pastoral setting, the form of the building is highly rational and the result of a relentless process of maximizing the rentable space.
因此，计划和立面图案都是串行的，而且没有构图的特点。规划由一系列的平行线组成，它们被刻在略微扭曲的建筑形状中。外墙强调了建筑体量所产生的整体张力。
As a result, both plans and facade motifs are serial and non-compositional in character. The plans consist of a series of parallel lines that are inscribed into the slightly distorted building shape. The facades emphasize the overall tension emanating from the building’s volume.
多个窗户被组合成长长的观景盒，让人联想到极简主义雕塑。面向景观的露台栏杆有一个正式的钢格子，而侧面的栏杆由一个简单的链式栅栏组成。
Multiple windows are combined into long viewing boxes, reminiscent of minimalist sculptures. The terrace railings facing the landscape have a formal steel grid, while the side railings consist of a simple chain-link fence.
公寓围绕着一个中央大厅组织，从露台延伸到建筑深处。大厅类似于门廊，即威尼斯宫殿中的深厅。它的两侧是卧室、书房、一个工作厨房和一个冬季花园。
The apartments are organized around a central hall that extends from the terrace deep into the building. The hall is similar to a portego, the deep hall in a Venetian palace. It is flanked on both sides by bedrooms, a study, a working kitchen, and a winter garden.
