House Gauché

由专筑网刘政和，刘庆新编译

来自建筑设计事务所的描述。该建筑位于Pretoria最古老的高尔夫庄园，这里之前已被大规模开发。我们的客户很有远见地买到最后一块空地，这是一片少见的布满岩石的地块。

From the architect. The House is situated in one of Pretoria's oldest Golf Estates, which has already been extensively developed. Our client was particularly open-minded in buying one of the last open plots in the estate, an extremely rocky piece of ground not many would see opportunity in.

基地的特点在于有两块裸露的岩石，它们点缀着这片土壤。而设计师面临的挑战是不能被大规模破坏场地环境，并且建造传统结构时会导致成本的增加。

The site is defined by two rocky outcrops, generously dotted with indigenous flora, posing serious challenges in situating the building without damaging the environment or incurring serious costs in erecting a conventional structure.

从一开始客户的要求就很明确，我们需要提供4间卧室（套房）、一间工作室、一个开放式起居室、餐厅、厨房、以及一些特定的辅助功能空间。扭转的结构主要由混凝土构成。

From the onset the client’s brief was clear, we were to provide for 4 bedrooms (en-suite), a study, an open plan living area, dining room, kitchen as well as the given ancillary functions. The twist was the structure was to be predominantly concrete.

起初，基地上的自然环境应该尽量少被破坏，这一点是很明确的，所以设计师只使用两个岩石作为建筑的立足点。钢结构、玻璃和混凝土被选中来保证材料尽可能真实地展示它们的坚硬的形式。岩层上的建筑的跨度，被仔细地定位于显著的Appelblaar 和 Karee树之间。这种自然环境的重要性是通过近距离地靠近这座房子而放大。

From inception it was clear that the natural environment found on the site should be disturbed as little as possible, only using the two rocky outcrops as the footings for the structure. A palette of Steel, Glass & Concrete was chosen, attempting to keep the materials as true to their rawest forms as possible. The building spans between the outcrops, positioned carefully between a collection of prominent Appelblaar & Karee Trees. The importance of this natural context is amplified through its close proximity as one moves through the house.

为了实现其轻盈的设计概念，建筑只有两个进入房子的入口，而2部楼梯好似漂浮于空中。

Maintaining the concept of touching the earth lightly, there are only two access points into the house, 2 sets of stairs that seemingly float above the natural ground level.

住宅也配备了太阳能热水系统、集成智能控制系统和太阳能热水循环结构以减少对市政电力的需求。同样，其采用双层玻璃，减少了主动冷却和加热的必要性。

The Residence is also equipped with a Solar Hot Water System, as well as integrated Intelligent Controls, circulating Solar Heated Water through the structure, reducing the house’s need for Municipal electricity. Similarly, Double glazing was employed throughout, reducing the need for active cooling & heating.

总之，设计将南非高原的浪漫风景与当代的混凝土和玻璃房子相融合，形成了有趣的对比，而且在减少之间的这些影响的同时保证了当代生活设施的置入。

In conclusion, the design marries the romance of South Africa’s Highveld Landscape with the contemporary concrete & glass designed house, creating an interesting contrast & relationship between the amenities of contemporary living while reducing the impact thereof.
