本住宅建于一片废弃的农场之上，俯瞰着吕贝隆山谷（Luberon valley）。作为一个区域性的保护公园，吕贝隆山谷要求其内的建筑都严格地按照标准来使用传统建筑材料。因此，本项目的设计团队保留了原有农舍的断壁残垣，并在其基础上构筑新的建筑体量，同时将客房和泳池穿插在了现有的石墙中。

The house is built on an abandoned farm overlooking the Luberon valley, a protected regional park with strict guidelines imposing traditional building materials. The ruins of the farmhouses were preserved so as to frame the new house, while the guesthouse and pool where inserted within the existing stone walls.

住宅的主体量是用尺寸为50 x 50 x 200厘米的坚固的砂岩砌块建造而成的。这些砂岩均来自于加德桥（Pont du Gard）旁的采石场，开采于罗马时期。砌块的堆砌原理十分随性，既可以交错着堆叠，也可以倾斜着排列，从而形成门窗洞口和表面纹理。由砌块打造而成的厚墙壁在热工学方面有着极大的优势：得益于其热质量，住宅不必设置额外的保温隔热层，即使是在炎热的夏季和飘雪的冬季，室内的环境也十分舒适。住宅的其他体量由混凝土或是落叶松木材打造而成，局部设置着镶嵌着木窗框三层玻璃窗户的大开间空间。住宅室内采用混凝土地板和桦木胶合板天花板，不做任何的额外装饰。

The main house is built with solid sandstone blocks 50 x 50 x 200 centimetres, quarried next to the Pont du Gard, and extracted since Roman times. The building principle is almost childlike, giving freedom to stagger or skew the blocks to make openings or to give texture. The thick walls of the house also create thermal mass, breathe and do not require insulation, even in this area of hot summers and snowy winters. The rest of the house is either in concrete or larch wood, with large bays in triple-glazed timber frames. The interiors are left untreated, with concrete floors and birch plywood ceilings.
