“客户找到SAOTA，希望能够设计一个回应场地的家庭度假别墅，尤其是要注重景观。他们想要一个既令人放松也优雅的家。当许多客人在一起吹着口哨娱乐的时候能令人感到舒服，而当家里只有一个或者两个人的时候，也能让人感到亲密而惬意。”项目主管兼领队Phillippe Fouché如是说。其余驱使这幢建筑的概念组织的因素是景观，阳光，盛行风向以及区域参数。

建筑的场地位于普利登堡湾的灯塔岛。场地倾斜至海滩，面前是一览无余的印度洋，东南方向是罗伯格海滩，在北边的远处是奥特尼夸山脉。从最初的等高线分布中可以看出，这个场地原本是一个往南逐渐高起的沙丘。

这个建筑被构想成是一个简单的盒子，漂浮在沙丘之上，用于捕捉框景。盒子的外表皮是一层粗糙质感的混凝土，与逐渐减少的光滑背面形成对比，以此创造一个精致的框架。

“从海滩上看，这个建筑被看作是一块石头的基座，代表了“土地”，而卧室空间看上去则像是漂浮在这之上，”SAOTA建筑师及该项目团队的成员Mias Claassens如是说。上方的卧室侧厅用自然的沙子质感作为其表皮，这是对于场地上原本存在的沙丘的直接回应。为了找到这处场地所能允许的最大高度，较高层的南部更高一些，看上去就像是以雕塑的手段从北部切割开似的。而这道切开的口子垂直地贯穿了整个建筑，将北部的光引到室内更深处的空间。Phillippe Fouché说，“楼梯巧妙地停留在这个开口处，使得景观能够从中穿过，并且引入了顶上的天光。楼梯的几何学以对象线展开，一直延续到朝向罗伯格海滩的悬挑露台。”

When approaching from the road, the scale of the house is modest and the living spaces concealed on a lower level. Timber shutters provide privacy to the gallery-like bedroom passage above whilst protecting the façade from the afternoon sun. A strong horizontality is articulated in the entrance canopy which is planted with indigenous shrubs cascading over the slab edge. A stone wall introduces the plinth from the lower levels and appears to fall away as one steps down to the front door. The living space is column free with the bedroom wing above supported by a large sculptural fireplace. Oxidised copper, salvaged from discarded hot water cylinders, is woven to line the inner part of the fire place. This allows the colour of the ocean to extend visually into the living room as the primary focal point.

The large sliders open past the envelope of the building, permitting unhindered access and views between the wind-protected entertainment courtyard, the living space and the front terrace. The kitchen is practically positioned to serve the living spaces and the Northern courtyard where a pizza oven chimney is a strong vertical element, counter-balancing the horizontal entrance canopy and floating bedroom wing. The kitchen volume opens upwards allowing northern light into the space and connecting to the gallery passage above.

The bedrooms are given privacy and protection from the morning light by means of large timber, sliding shutters. The rooms are designed to take maximum advantage of the space available, raised bathrooms open up to the room, allowing views to the ocean from anywhere in the room. Small skylights allow natural light into the bathrooms which otherwise would have been reliant on artificial lighting. Large mirror surfaces at the ends of the rooms further accentuate the space and strategically reflect either Robberg or the Outeniqua mountains depending on the vantage point.

The main bedroom is placed on the higher part of the upper level to take advantage of the ocean views. All bedrooms’ en-suite bathrooms and dressing rooms open up to the room and to the ocean views.

 The stone plinth on the lower level accommodates a games room, large guest suite, audio-visual room and service spaces behind. The pool is located on this lower terrace but remain conveniently connected to the main entertainment spaces by means of a stone staircase, articulated as part of the plinth. The pool is situated centrally to this garden/ deck area to allow the main tanning deck to extend to the end of the site where the afternoon sun can be enjoyed. The water level of the pool is 20mm above the deck surface, a rim flow all round creates the impression that this reflective water body slots into the timber deck. The lowered boma (fire pit) in the far corner of the terrace is protected from the wind by glass panels, this is a more secluded space to sit around an open fire, close to the beach.
