架构师提供的文本描述。在简加尔文新教城市的紧缩中，可以找到一个小小的“巢穴”。隐藏在典型的日内瓦老城镇的糖蜜砂石中，这间小公寓试图给XV世纪原本空洞而复杂的建筑带来色彩。这套公寓被认为是一个亲密的地方，有一些轻微的偷窥特征，这有助于给深邃的布局带来亮丽的感觉和自然的光。

Text description provided by the architects. Within the austerity of Jean Calvin’s protestant city, a tiny “nest” for living can be found. Hidden among the molasses sandstones that typify Geneva’s old town, the small apartment attempts to bring colours to the otherwise cavy and intricate architecture of the XVth century. The apartment has been conceived as a place for intimacy, with some slightly voyeuristic features that help bringing a sparkling feeling and natural light into the deep layout.

从一个立面到另一个门面，穿过公寓的视觉连续性是通过一个重要的室内窗户设置的，它连接着卧室、厨房和客厅。一切都可以一目了然。

The visual continuity that crosses the apartment from one façade to the other is set through an important interior window linking the bedroom with the kitchen and the living room. Everything can be seen and observed in one glance.

自1960年以来，情况发生了变化。2014年，纽约的“巴德”巴克斯特(Baxter)上西区公寓大幅减少。繁荣经济的奢侈可能性已经缩小到今天的现实。杰克·莱蒙向他的老板提议的婚外情空间，是比利·怀尔德电影中最重要的角色之一，是通奸的舞台，很少符合公寓的家庭用途。

Things have changed since 1960. “Bud” Baxter Upper West Side apartment in New York has been reduced considerably in 2014. The luxurious possibilities of a booming economy have been shrunk to today’s realities. The extramarital domestic space proposed by Jack Lemon to his bosses, one of the most important characters of Billy Wilder’s movie, was a stage for adultery, complying very rarely with the domestic purpose of the apartment.

日内瓦的公寓可以用类似的方式来理解：一个生活的舞台，色彩让人联想到比家庭活动更多的活动，一种“其他地方”的感觉，一种逃离日内瓦灰色冬天的感觉。

The apartment in Geneva can be apprehended in a similar way; a stage for life where colours evoke other activities than domestic ones, a sense of “elsewhereness”, an escape from the grey winter of Geneva.
