Gota Dam Residence: A House on a Rock

由专筑网Brick，杨帆编译

Sforza Seilern建筑事务所完成了他们在非洲的第一个项目：石上住宅，它是Studio Seilern和Muzia Sforza之间的一次艺术合作，这个1500平方米的建筑坐落在花岗岩上，俯瞰着人造大坝或用于周围广阔农田的水库。这个区域可以说是激动人心和令人惊叹的，值得建造同样令人惊叹的建筑。

Sforza Seilern Architects, an artistic collaboration between Studio Seilern Architects and Muzia Sforza, completed their first African project:  a house on a rock.  The 1’500sm building is situated atop a granite rock overlooking a large man-made dam, or reservoir for the extensive surrounding farmland. The area is, to say the least, breathtaking and awe-inspiring, and deserved a piece of architecture that is equally awe-inspiring.

花岗岩悬崖冲入大坝，这个激动人心的场景是构思的灵感来源，超大悬挑式屋顶和宽阔的露台组织了景观和居所的联系，并且遮挡了直射的非洲阳光。

The views and the drama of the granite cliff plunging into the dam were the inspiration for the concept, where oversized cantilevered roofs and extensive terraces frame the views and shelter from the vertical African sun.

房子包括三个基本要素：

- 两个花岗岩块围合卧室并且起着支撑空间的作用，建筑被固定在岩石中，并融合为周围地形的一部分。

The house consists of three basic elements
- Two granite blocks, enclosing bedrooms and support spaces, anchor the building into the rock, and become part of the surrounding topography.

-  一个超大的木质平台和悬挑式屋顶构建了室外空间和全景。这些意在使视觉焦点集中在地平线上，同时创建遮蔽的室外空间作为生活区和餐饮区。

- An oversized timber platform and a cantilevering roof frame the exterior spaces and the panoramic views. These are designed to focus the eye to the horizon, while creating shaded exterior spaces for living and dining areas.

- 最后，两个玻璃箱跨在甲板和屋顶之间，加上天然花岗岩地形，这些围住了上层的冬季生活区和底层的主卧套房。它们是透明的围绕物，再次突出景色以及被置入风景中生活的感觉。底层的小型游泳池在视觉上整合了大坝水库和低层的房屋。

- Finally two glass boxes span between the deck and roof, and the natural granite topography. These enclose the winter living areas at the upper level and the master bedroom suite at the lower level. They are transparent enclosures that again emphasise the views and the feeling of living within the surrounding landscape. A small horizon pool at the lower level visually integrates the dam reservoir with the lower levels of the house.

所有元素都以这样一种方式进行定位，以便创造所要求的物理邻接和视觉隐私。

All elements are orientated in such a manner as to create physical adjacencies and visual privacy where required.

悬挑式屋顶和伸展露台使房子好似轻轻浮在岩石之上。屋顶可以保护落地玻璃免受太阳的直接辐射。

项目必须处理过度膨胀和缺乏可用材料的问题。除了专业物品如玻璃和屋顶防水剂，所有材料都在本地采购。用于包覆两个锚块的花岗岩来自于对现场花岗岩的开采。炸药钻孔仍然明显，也使建筑贴合开采区。使用现场的花岗岩也确保了建筑与周围环境的和谐共融。

The project had to deal with issues of hyper-inflation and lack of available material. All materials were sourced locally, except for specialist items such as the glass and the roof waterproofing. The granite used to clad the two anchor blocks were the ‘crusts’ cut-off that came from the granite excavation. The dynamite drill holes are still apparent and tie the building to the area of excavation. Using the granite from the site also insured that the building blended harmoniously with its surroundings.

受当地丰富的编篮文化的启发，车库遮篷使用不同尺寸的钢筋来设计，经过编排形成汽车上方的遮阳罩。这个遮篷一侧由简单的I形梁支撑，另一侧固定于原有大圆石。开花攀爬物将覆盖整个遮篷，柔化和绿化钢材编织物。业主是位音乐家，需要一个地方退隐并且创作和记录她的音乐。我们再次从悬于房屋之上的天然花岗岩悬崖获得灵感，决定把茂密绿林中的花岗岩立方体设置在悬崖底部。窗户的策略性布置，角落的创建，带饰切入花岗岩立方体，这些提供了悬崖和下面丛林激动人心的景观。

Inspired by the rich local culture of basket weaving, a garage cover was devised using different sized rebars and weaved to form a sun-shading canopy over cars. This canopy is supported by simple I-beams on one side and anchored to a large existing bioulder on the other side.  Climbing flowering creepers are envisioned to cover the whole canopy, softening greening the steel weave. The owner being a musician required a place to retire and compose/record her music.  Again taking inspiration in the natural granite cliff overhanging the house, we decided to hand a granite cube in the middle of the dense green jungle at the base of the cliff.  Strategically placed windows, creating corners and band cuts into the granite cube offer dramatic views of the cliff and the jungle below.
