架构师提供的文本描述。这个项目的建筑方法的起点是一块“处女地”，它的形式和轮廓几乎没有给出即将发生的变化的迹象。

Text description provided by the architects. The starting point for the architectural approach of this project was a piece of “virgin” land, the form and profile of which gave little indication of the mutations to come.

因此，我们认为网站是一个起点，一个可以开发不同类型体系结构的“基础”。

We therefore considered the site as a starting point, a “base” on which different types of architecture could be developed.

虽然弗朗索瓦·格里瑟工作室在城市规模上完美地界定了这一“基础”的结构，但我们的经验使我们认为，每座建筑的个别建筑质量是项目在全球取得成功的一个基本要素。

Although the structure of this “base” had been defined perfectly on an urban scale by the François Grether studio, our experience leads us to think that the individual architectural quality of each building is an essential element in the global success of a project.

名为埃斯特班的住宅公寓楼就是在这种背景下提出的，因为它的建筑必须表现出足够强大的力量和特征，以帮助建立未来社区的身份，同时保持简单和良好的构思，以便与其他建筑顺利互动。

The residential apartment building named Esteban was thought up in this context, bearing in mind that its architecture had to show strong enough force and character to help build up the identity of the future neighbourhood, while at the same time remaining simple and well-conceived to interact smoothly with the other constructions.
