场地

项目在南非沃特贝格山脉的自然保护区中占有独特的位置：这里有着迷人的植物，令人振奋的悬崖，以及迷人的野生动物。

THE SITE

The building occupies a unique place in a nature reserve in the waterberg mountains of south africa; a landscape of remarkable plants, inspiring cliffs, and prodigious wildlife.

简介

一个在风景中消隐的建筑，坐落在岩石、树木和鸟类之间，它为动物、植物和人类提供了平等的机会来寻找栖身之所，同时，建筑的体量也尊重了场地上的自然环境。

THE BRIEF

A home that disappears into the landscape; That sits amongst the rocks and trees and birds; That offers animals and plants and humans equal opportunity to find shelter; That treats the bushveld with its deserved respect.

设计理念

项目的基本理念是在河岸森林和砂岩悬崖之间架设一座桥梁，同时把生活空间提升到树冠之上。建筑物被组织成细长的结构，在森林和树木之间流动，中心建筑物附加物的形状取决于周围树木的位置和大小(在建造这座房子的过程中没有一棵树被砍伐)。

THE IDEA

The underlying concept was to bridge the landscape between riverine forest and sandstone cliff, whilst raising the living space into the tree canopy, amongst the abundant arboreal life. The building is organised as one long thin building which slots between the forest trees. The shapes of the additions to the central building are dictated by the position and size of the surrounding trees (not one tree was demolished during the construction of this home).

材料

项目使用了一套非常简单的材料，所有这些材料都让建筑成为景观一部分。其中使用最多的是一种原始粗糙的砖块，与场地的风化砂岩相匹配。建筑物的“桥梁”部分采用了可回收的木材，玻璃和铝被装入非结构的墙中。

MATERIALS

The building makes use of a very simple set of materials which all play their part in making the building part of its landscape. The most abundant material is a rough stock brick which was selected to match the site’s weathered sandstone. The ‘bridge’ portions of the building are constructed from sustainably-grown timbers, whilst glass and aluminium fill in the non-structural wall.

项目

一楼为住户提供了一个花园、一个隐蔽的休息室、一个有阳光的餐厅、一个农舍厨房和洗碗间、一个树荫遮蔽的平台以及一个小水池和壁炉，大多数的烹饪和生活都围绕着这个空间进行。下层有庭院、书房、图书馆和拱门下面的小秋千凳。项目还有一个储藏室，为腌制肉、储藏食物和陈酿葡萄酒创造了良好的气候。

PROGRAMME

The first floor offers to its inhabitants a planted courtyard, a reclusive lounge, a sunlit dining room, a farmhouse kitchen and scullery, a tree-shaded deck, a small pool and a fireplace - around which most of the cooking and living occurs. The ground floor provide yet more courtyards, a study, library and a small swing bench under the arch. The cellar creates a climate conducive to curing meats, storing food supplies and ageing wines.
