在洛蒙特住宅项目中，吉伦德河和阿基坦桥的独特景色是该遗址的主要特征。为了优化这些景观，同时尽量减少邻居之间的能见度，26套公寓中的每一套都被赋予了独特的形状；这种布局的结果是建筑物的整体锯子形状。

In the Lormont housing project, extraordinary views of the Gironde river and the Aquitaine bridge are the key features of the site. In order to optimize these views, while minimizing visibility between neighbours, each of the 26 apartments was given a unique shape; the result of this arrangement is the building’s overall saw-shaped figure.

场地定位给出了建筑的两个长侧面，它面向东西，有着截然不同的特点。沿着多面的西面正面，不透明的面板与全高的窗户交替，提供河流的全景，并打开，把生活空间变成一个露台。分段设计的工作，以加强壮观的60米高的桥梁。

The site orientation gives the two long sides of the building, which face to the east and the west, very different characteristics. Along the faceted west facade, opaque panels alternate with full-height windows that offer panoramic views of the river, and which open to transform the living space into a terrace. The sectional design works to enhance the spectacular presence of the 60 m high bridge.

两层公寓堆放着，一楼以上有复式公寓和三层公寓。每个水平是横向移动，以暴露部分屋顶，使全高度的窗户延伸到天花板。这种从正面的垂直玻璃条到水平方向的屋顶灯的转变强调了“低角度拍摄”的效果，即使用电影摄影术语，直到桥塔。

Two levels of apartments are stacked, with duplexes and triplexes above the ground floor. Each level is shifted laterally in order to expose part of the roof, allowing the full-height windows to extend into the ceiling. This transition from the vertical strips of glass on the facade to the horizontally-orientated roof lights emphasizes the effect of the ‘low-angle shot’, to use a cinematographic term, up towards the bridge towers.

在东侧，这座建筑被一条嘈杂的街道所屏蔽，由一个带有相对较小开口的金属幕墙隔开，其大小和位置取决于内部公寓的需求。但即使在这里，河水也在招手。横向通道，覆盖着反光材料，放大了可用的光线，并创造了一种模糊的、梦幻般的河流形象，可以在街道边上看到；这些通道也会变宽，以吸引人们接近河流。

On the east side, the building is shielded from a noisy street by a metal-clad facade with relatively small openings, the size and position of which are determined by the needs of the apartments within. But even here, the river beckons. Transverse passages, clad in reflective material, amplify available light and create a blurry, dreamlike image of the river that is visible on the street side; the passages also widen to invite the approach towards the river.
