Wespi de Meuron Romeo architects:该项目基地从前是一处上世纪初老庄园葡萄园的一部分，位于卢加诺湖上方的山坡上。地块上方和侧面的大型投机性建筑项目在项目规划时广为人所知，因而对该建筑项目设计产生了决定性的影响。

Wespi de Meuron Romeo architects: The building site – part of a former vineyard – lies on a hillside above Lake Lugano, above an older property from the beginning of the last century. Larger speculative building projects above and lateral of the parcel were already known at the time of project planning and have decisively influenced the architectural project.

我们认为，在老葡萄园混乱无序的城市扩张中，这个项目应该在新建的房屋中尽可能的体现设计的克制，尽量多用挡土墙，而不是去建造更多的新构筑物，它应该成为葡萄园的一部分，而不是一个独立的居所。

Within the chaotic urban sprawl of the old vineyard, this project should make the greatest possible restraint within the newly emerging houses and become more a retaining wall, rather than one more other new building, it should make more part of the vineyard than the settlement.
