We present a method based on mean-field states generated by triaxial quadrupole constraints that are projected on particle number and angular momentum and mixed by the generator coordinate method on the quadrupole moment. This method is equivalent to a seven-dimensional GCM calculation, mixing all five degrees of freedom of the quadrupole operator and the gauge angles for protons and neutrons. A first application to 24Mg permits a detailed analysis of the effects of triaxial deformations and of K mixing.
