架构师提供的文本描述。你可能会说，在兰德斯的中心地带，一座由小木屋组成的地产并没有什么独到之处。然而通往这条路的道路上却布满了所谓的“建造环境”的碎片：似乎毫无起落的未完工的地产，太宽的街道，环形交叉的街道，以及低矮的房屋，其墙壁被渲染成难以定义的颜色。

Text description provided by the architects. You might say there was nothing original about an estate made up of small timber-clad houses in the heart of the Landes. And yet the road that leads to it is strewn with fragments of the so-called "built environment":unfinished estates that seem to begin and end nowhere, streets that are too wide, roundabouts, and low-lying houses whose walls are rendered in colours that beggar definition.

在此背景下，圣皮埃尔山项目就像沙漠中的一片绿洲。除了现代建筑设计，当你进入庄园时，立即引人注目的是，单位之间产生的张力，使它们之间的差距缩小了，这是你通常所期望的。这种激进的做法近乎人满为患。街道、花园和停车场保持在最低限度。一条单一的通道环绕着整个庄园，狭窄的车道在住宅单元之间蜿蜒而行。只要有一点想象力，人们几乎就会认为这片土地是从一块木头中砍下来的。

Against this backdrop, the Saint Pierre du Mont project is like an oasis in the desert. Beside the modern architectural design, what is immediately striking when you enter the estate is the tension that has been created between the units by making the gaps between them smaller that you would usually be expected. This radical approach borders on overcrowding. Streets, gardens and parking areas are kept to a minimum. A single access road wraps round the estate, with narrow lanes leading off and winding between the housing units. With a little imagination, one might almost think the estate had been cut out of a single block of wood.

从工作室公寓到五卧室公寓，这些住房形成了类似但又总是不同的小交错单元。这种随机分布带来了一种正式的组织感，防止了单调。不属于一个构成的、同质的整体，同时又保持独特和不同，这难道不是任何人类聚居的必要条件吗？

The housing, ranging from studio apartments to 5-bedrooms flats, forms small interblocking units that are similar, and yet always different. This random distribution brings a sense of formal organisation and prevents monotony. Isn't belonging to an constituated, homogeneous whole while remaining unique and different the necessary condition for any human settlement?
