架构师提供的文本描述。位于开普敦大西洋海岸上的克利夫顿郊区，由于风景优美，步行率很高，当地居民和游客都热衷于慢跑和步行。考虑到这一事实是一种刻意的设计意图-在一个以高空荡荡的边界墙和巨大的建筑质量为特征的社区里。

Text description provided by the architects. The suburb of Clifton on Cape Town’s Atlantic Seaboard has a high rate of foot traffic due to it’s scenic beauty, with residents and tourists being keen joggers and walkers. It was a deliberate design intention to take this fact into consideration - in a neighborhood characterized by high blank boundary walls and overpowering building mass.

这所房子可以从街道上看到，而不是躲在围墙和大门后面-它的目的是为街景做出贡献(特别注意人行道层的景观设计)，与人行道和现有相邻房屋的高度有关。它位于山坡的一侧，左边或北部是地势较低的房屋，右边或南部是较高的位置。

The house is visually accessible from the street, rather than hiding behind perimeter walls and gates - and it aims to contribute to the streetscape (specific attention has been paid to landscaping design at sidewalk level), in relation to the sidewalks and to the height of existing adjacent houses. It occupies a position on the hill side between lower lying houses to the left or north, and higher situated properties to the right or south of it.

辉长石墙是用来提升生活空间，减少强调一个大型车库和屏幕公用设施.海拔高于道路水平是最大限度地发挥景观潜力的关键，但可能导致压倒建筑质量。因此，设计的目的是通过较小的体积和表达较薄的结构元素如楼板来侵蚀建筑质量，从而创造建筑构件的有机堆叠。车库的石膏板墙已被种植成长满了的时间，这样就软化了路人的街景。一楼的客人公寓可以俯瞰道路，远眺大海，还可以通过雪松木的百叶窗墙来保护自己的隐私。

Gabion walls are used to elevate the living spaces, de-emphasize a large garage and screen utilities. Elevation above road level is essential to maximize view potential, but can lead to overpowering building mass. The design therefor aims to erode the building mass by means of smaller volumes and expressing thinner structural elements such as floor slabs, thereby creating an organic stacking of building components. The garage’s gabion walls have been planted to become overgrown with time, and as such soften the streetscape for passers-by. The guest flat on first floor has full views over the road, to the sea beyond, and is given privacy by means of a cedar wood shuttered wall.

住宅的下两层(车库和客人公寓)更多地与山坡相结合，而上面两层，即主要住宅所在的两层，则变成了坐落在山坡上的巨石一样的物体。主要住宅被分解成三个关闭的混凝土建筑块(“巨石”)，通过一个自由流动的双体积中庭空间连接，也包含垂直循环(楼梯和电梯)。住宅的两个“书头”表示为玻璃和雪松百叶窗盒，里面有浴室，晚上从灯笼里点亮。这些元素通过在下面负空间上被悬臂来进一步庆祝。

The lower two levels (garage and guest apartment) of the home engage more with the hillside, whereas the top two levels, housing the main residence, become boulder-like objects perched on the hillside. The main residence is broken into three off-shutter concrete building blocks (the ‘boulders’), connected by means of a free-flowing double volume atrium space, also containing vertical circulation (staircase and lift). Two ‘bookends’ of the residence is expressed as glazed and cedar shuttered boxes, housing bathrooms that become lit-from-within lanterns at night. These elements are further celebrated by being cantilevered over negative space below.

无缝的室内-室外居住空间溢出到一个舒适的保护和美化庭院，这允许最大限度的北曝光率，而不是只响应海景。同样，厨房与菜园有着直接的联系，方法是在池塘上踏出一块带有湿墙水的垫脚石。中庭通过一层高的机械窗向池塘开放，大大增加了夏季的自然冷却。

Seamless indoor-outdoor living spaces spill out onto a comfortable protected and landscaped courtyard, that allows maximum north exposure, rather than responding to sea views only. Similarly the kitchen has a direct connection to the vegetable and herb garden by means of stepping-stones over a pond with a wet wall water feature. The atrium opens up to the pond by means of a story-high mechanical sash window, greatly adding to natural cooling in the summer.

 Level 2 Plan

2级计划

屋顶悬挂和玻璃规格被仔细考虑，以尽量减少不必要的太阳能热增益。西方的曝光率是由玻璃外墙上的外部自动下拉式屏幕控制的，而太阳能和太阳能电池板则通过光伏和太阳能电池板的方式将能源消耗降到最低。太阳能电池板和太阳能电池板都与家用热水、地板下水和游泳池供暖的集中系统连接在一起。

Roof over-hangs and glazing specifications were carefully considered in order to minimize unwanted solar heat gain. Western exposure is regulated with external, automated drop-down screens over glazed façades, whilst energy consumption is minimized by means of Photovoltaic and Solar panels both linked to a centralized system for domestic water heating, waterborne under-floor and pool heating.

材料的选择：板标混凝土、局部石材、未经处理的雪松木、粗锯橡木地板、水磨石地板和Corten钢，随着每种材料的自然颜色和质地的逐渐变化，将表现出时间的流逝。

The selection of materials; board-marked concrete, local stone, untreated cedar wood, rough-sawn oak floor planks, terrazzo floors and Corten steel will express the passing of time, with the gradual changing of each material’s natural colour and texture.
