Kloof 145 House / SAOTA

来自建筑事务所的描述。项目基地位于Clifton，可以从Kloof路进入，沿着场地西坡蜿蜒而行。在项目开发的前几年，这个斜坡覆盖着南非独有的硬叶树木和灌木。随着时间的流逝，该地区逐步发展，人们可以在沙滩上欣赏壮观的巨石，日升日落。

Text description provided by the architects. Accessed from Kloof Road, which winds along the western slopes of Lion’s Head, this site is positioned in the wind-protected suburb of Clifton. Years before any development was introduced, this slope was conceivably covered by indigenous forest and fynbos. Today, however, the area is developed and enjoys spectacular views over the sandy beaches, boulder outcrops, and Twelve Apostles mountains towards the south and sunset views over the Atlantic Ocean.





这个项目需要处理的第一个问题就是陡峭的斜坡，斜坡需要经过挖掘而与建筑相适应。住宅沿着斜坡的一侧而排布，构成错落的街区，上层的私人楼层得到适当的遮挡，既强调了隐私，也减少街道噪音的干扰。

The first aspect of the project that required addressing was the steep slope that would have to be excavated to accommodate the structure. The home was conceived as an arrangement of staggered blocks that rise along the side of the mountain, with the upper, private levels becoming appropriately shielded from both visibility and street-level noise.









“设计的概念方法是恢复自然景观。”南非SAOTA建筑事务所的建筑师Phillippe Fouche说，他是这个项目的首席建筑师。建筑的低层是独的公寓，就好像“一块沉重的石头基座”，外部的石笼墙和内部深色橡木与混凝土百叶反映了山体的形态。在这之上是过渡空间，用作绿色平台和野餐烧烤区域，住宅的所有楼层都通过一个雕刻的木楼梯连接，就像一条折叠的彩带，和住宅设计概念相得益彰，随着它的上升，色调逐渐变淡。

The conceptual approach to the design was to reinstate the qualities of a natural landscape,’ says architect Phillippe Fouché of South African architectural firm SAOTA, who lead the project. The lower part of the building, an independent apartment, is then expressed as ‘a heavy stone plinth’, its gabion-walled exterior and cocooning interior of dark-stained oak and off shutter concrete reflecting the strata of the mountainside out of which they emerge. On top of this is a transitional space that is expressed as a green terrace and braai area, representative of what would have been the landscape’s foliage level. All levels of the house are connected via a sculptural timber staircase, like a folded ribbon that, appropriate to the home’s design narrative, gradually lightens in tone as it rises.



露台上方有着环绕着竖直板条的盒子体量，下面植被层的丛林柳树可以生长到这个高度，屏幕可以手动打开或关闭，调整进入室内的自然光，“就像一棵大树的阴影下一样”。这个结构由耐用的轻质铝制成，它的表面可以模仿不同颜色，解决了建筑的气候适应性问题。

A vertically slatted box hovers over the terrace, allowing the forest bushwillow trees below to grow into this level, with screens that can be opened or closed to adjust the amount of natural light filtering into the interior, ‘as if you were sitting in the shade of a large tree’. The structure was engineered from a durable yet lightweight aluminium in a finish that mimics the different tones of bark, a durable solution to weathering Cape Town’s capricious seasons.



Phillippe还说：“在这之上，为了适应山体的坡度，起居空间向后退了一些，增加了隐私和声音缓冲，同时构成了平台与周围景色相连的感觉。这个空间通过引入朝向山腰的庭院，在视觉上得到扩展，同时也为通风、采光以及种植提供了机会。”楼层的混凝土天花板用粗锯成的厚木板制作，彰显了原始质感。这种对自然材料的强调也出现在木地板和木质餐具上。厨房也形成了夹层，用作私人书房，人们可以通过横跨整个房间的廊道进入。

‘Above this, the living level is set back considerably to follow the slope of the mountain, resulting in added privacy and acoustic buffering while creating the perception that one is on a platform, connected to the surrounding views,’ says Phillippe. ‘The space is visually extended via the introduction of a courtyard towards the mountainside, which allows for ventilation, light and, again, an opportunity for planting.’ The concrete ceiling of this level, shuttered with rough-sawn planks, championing its raw texture. This emphasis on natural materiality can also be seen in the wooden floors and timber-clad scullery in this space. The scullery also forms the base of a mezzanine-level private study, which is accessed via a bridge that spans the length of the room.



最上面的一层是主卧室，位于树顶之上，白色大理石、浅色木材等材料和天窗搭配使用，给人带来透气和开放的感觉，而折叠的玻璃墙则为人们带来宽敞的视野。

The uppermost level, the master bedroom, sits above the tree-tops and as such the materials – white marble, pale timber – and use of skylights express a feeling of air and openness while fold-away glass walls welcome in the full expanse of the view.
