来自专筑编辑倪明辉，vigo的报道。这个住宅为开普敦Rondebosch郊区的一个年轻家庭设计，坐落于一个狭长地带，从这可看到魔鬼峰和位于标志性桌山东南部边缘的The Back Table。客户要求建一个现代开放式住宅，利用位置和视野，提供休闲生活方式。

From the architect. Designed for a young family in the suburban area of Rondebosch, Cape Town, this house sits on an elongated site with views towards Devil’s Peak and The Back Table, which is the south-eastern edge of the iconic Table Mountain. The client’s brief called for a contemporary, open plan home that provides a relaxed lifestyle and takes advantage of the site and its views.

项目的最终形状是个小白盒，包含楼上卧室设施和底层的生活场所。这个盒子连接开放空间，使视野和采光最大化，一个邻接厨房和餐厅的切凿出的中央庭院成为焦点。临街正面大量浮框被打破，用引人注目的隔墙为客房创造了露天阳台。隔墙提供了面向街道的私密性，同时允许视野和光线穿透，它由预制混凝土煤渣砖建造，让人想起过去的年代。

The resultant form is a minimal white box containing the bedroom accommodation on the first floor, hovering over the living spaces on the ground floor below. This box was articulated with strategic openings maximising views and exposure to light, with a central courtyard carved out adjacent to the kitchen and dining room to create a focal point. The mass of the floating box is broken down on the street façade with a dramatic screen wall which creates an open-air terrace for the guest wing of the house. The screen offers privacy from the street while allowing views and light to permeate and is constructed from standard pre-cast concrete breeze blocks reminiscent of a bygone era.

开放式生活空间位于底层，朝北延伸到庭院和阳台，朝西可看到花园和山峰。院内种的一棵树作为焦点元素提供了一个荫蔽的花园，斑驳的光线洒满了邻近的地方。这棵树作为自然的屏障遮挡正北的光线，树冠使得楼上相对邻居保持私密。

The open plan living spaces on the ground floor spill out onto the courtyard and terrace to the North, with the garden and mountain views to the west. A hand selected tree was planted in the courtyard as a focal element to provide a shaded garden area that fills the adjacent spaces with dappled light. The tree acts as a natural screen to the direct north light and its canopy creates privacy for the first floor from neighbours.

钢木结构的楼梯连接楼到两层，进入楼上宽阔的开放式使用空间，这个空间隔离客房和主人套房，保持和院子和树的连接。流通空间被最小化，在外部视线上与轴线整合。

The steel and timber stair connects the two levels and arrives in a large open plan utility space on the first floor which separates the guest wing from the master suite and maintains connections to the courtyard and tree below. Circulation spaces were minimised and were all arranged with external views on axis.

各种简单的材料允许空间、光线和体量盖过装饰面层和精心施工。底层有大块打磨的水泥地板，利用南非的气候模糊了室内和室外生活的界限。楼上坚实的硬木地板和天然石灰石瓷砖为更私密的家庭空间创造了温暖和质感。粗糙的混凝土元素用于街边和庭院正面，通过材质对照突出了白盒建筑。

A simple pallet of materials allows space, light and volume to take preference over decorative finishes and elaboration. The ground floor has a monolithic polished concrete floor finish throughout which blurs the threshold between indoor and outdoor living capitalising on the South African climate. Upstairs, solid hardwood timber floorboards and natural limestone tiles create warmth and texture for the more intimate spaces of this home. Rough off-shutter concrete elements were used on the street boundary and the courtyard façade accentuating the white box through textural contrast.

这座光线充足的房屋在预定时间内准时完工，成功实现了客户的项目需求，仔细研究应对了气候和相关位置条件。客户对大胆概念设计的意愿导致这种Rondebosch少见的强烈现代感的形式。其审美挑战了周围环境和传统的城市肌理，鼓励了郊区住宅建筑的新方法。

This light-filled home, completed on time and within budget, successfully translates the clients brief and is a carefully considered response to the climatic and contextual conditions of the site. The client’s willingness for a bold conceptual design has resulted in a strong contemporary form uncommon to Rondebosch. This aesthetic challenges the surrounding, traditional urban fabric and encourages a fresh approach to residential architecture in this suburb.
