架构师提供的文本描述。这座位于日内瓦北门的拐角处大楼解决了两个截然不同的方案与前三层的九教室私立学校和另外四层的公寓重叠的问题。位于庭院上方的走廊被用来减少垂直交通，而垂直交通已经减少到一个单一的楼梯井。学校走廊由公寓入口叠加而成，其中大部分是复式公寓。

Text description provided by the architects. This corner building at the northern gateway to Geneva resolves the problem of superimposing two very different schemes with a nine-classroom private school on the first three floors, and apartments on the other four. Corridors situated above the courtyard have been used to minimise vertical traffic, which has been reduced to a single stairwell. The school corridors are superimposed by the entrances to the apartments, most of which are duplex.

私立学校是通过有盖的操场进入的，该操场延伸到院子里。一楼是接待区和一个大的多用途空间。在上层，教室面对这两条路，并通过滑动隔墙连接起来。这里实行的开放式教学鼓励了走廊和教室之间一定程度的透明度。教室通过配色方案得到加强，这给交通区域增添了一种有趣的感觉。

The private school is entered via the covered playground, which extends into the courtyard. The ground floor houses the reception area and a large multipurpose space. On the upper floors, the classrooms face the two roads and are interconnected by sliding partition walls. The open teaching practiced here encourages a degree of transparency between corridors and classrooms. The classrooms are enhanced with a color scheme that adds a playful touch to traffic areas.

四楼的复式公寓是一种传统类型的公寓，在入口处有居住空间。六楼的布置方式相反，卧室紧邻走廊，居住空间可以免费享受阁楼露台的好处。其他的公寓是单纯的，并安排了充分利用现有的空间，同时最大限度地定位和对城市景观的看法。交通区域以与学校相同的黄色完成，给庭院立面一个统一的外观。

The duplex apartments on the fourth floor are of a traditional type, with living spaces at the entrance level. Those on the sixth floor are arranged in the opposite way, with the bedrooms adjoining the corridor, leaving the living spaces free to benefit from the attic terrace. The other apartments are simplex, and arranged to make best use of the available space, whilst maximizing orientation and views over the urban landscape. Traffic areas are finished in the same yellow color as the school to give the courtyard facade a unified look.

这一双重用途的发展需要一个静态负荷解决方案，能够将公寓尺寸的负荷-6.4米的网格-转化为教室尺寸的负荷-8米。这一问题的结构解决办法是以一层楼高的深梁的形式找到的。所有正面都有一个穿孔的金属饰面，覆盖在周围城市地区的相同的砖红色上。街道一侧的立面用玻璃和丝网印刷，类似于穿孔的金属，从而重复院子一侧的正面装饰。

This dual-purpose development required a static load solution capable of transferring the load for the apartment dimension, a 6.4-meter grid, to a load for the classroom dimension - eight metres. The structural solution to this was found in the form of a deep beam of the height of one floor. All facades have a perforated metal finish over the same brick red color present in the surrounding urban area. The facade on the street side is clad in glass and screen-printed to resemble perforated metal, thereby repeating the facade finish on the courtyard side.
