Description by Architects :
The brief called for a beach house suitable for a family of four, on a vacant site in Voelklip, Hermanus, Western Cape, RSA. The site is a long thin rectangular subdivision stretching from the sun facing street and mountain side to the undulating tree tops of the milkwoods and fynbos and the coastline on the South.
The gently sloping site presented the opportunity for a split-level living space allowing lounge, dining to be placed above the bedrooms on the ground level, all enjoying dramatic sea views. The double volume family room and kitchen form the heart of the home and form the connection between the sea facing accommodation and the internal sunny terraces, pool and garden. The main garden courtyard functions as a large wind free and sunny outdoor entertainment environment.
Materials were selected to enhance the beach-house character of the building while at the same time adding touches of sophisticated detail: white cement screed floors to the public circulation areas; lime washed oak floors to the lounge, dining area and lower-ground floor bedrooms; off shutter concrete ceilings; and external timber decks and pergolas, cladding, screens and shutters providing security, privacy and protection.

Voelklip住宅是南非西开普赫曼努斯的一座海滨公寓，建筑体块狭长，从山腰处的阳光街道一直蜿蜒至葱葱郁郁的树林和灌木丛脚下。
舒缓的斜坡式地形给建筑错层布置提供了不错的实现方法，错层的室内空间包括酒吧和卧室上方的餐厅，所有房间全部享有优美的海景。二层起居室和厨房构成了住宅的中心，并且把住宅与海景紧紧联系在一起。中央庭院作为巨大的景观广场，不断获得雨露阳光的滋润。
材质选择一方面加强了海滨住宅的性格特征同时也清晰的标识出建筑的细节：白色水泥铺就的地板一直延伸到公共区域；黄绿色的水洗橡胶地板则铺设在休息室、就餐区和底层卧室之上；还有室外的观景木台和花架，半包围的结构构件给使用者提供安全感，形成私人保护区。
