地点和背景

Site and Context

该遗址由一系列梯田组成，向北向南，向东俯冲.这所房子位于两个梯田之上，俯瞰下面的花园露台。北面有明显的山景，东面有半岛的壮丽景色。东南风在夏季是严重的，现有的花园露台在其南端有一种浮夸的愚蠢的水，包括一条瀑布掉进一个池塘，里面有精巧的喷泉。这一功能位于露台远端的一个大水池的轴线上，由一大片花园隔开。虽然这个花园的愚蠢吸引了新主人的幽默感，但他们要求把它“调下来”，并纳入一个有意义的户外休闲区，以欣赏北面的台山背面，这是他们喜欢的景色。选址的理念是把新亭子作为花园的终点，作为水景的背景，也是山谷对面山的唤起。它既需要坚固，又需要存在，需要透明和闪电。展馆后面的土堤被操纵成一个天然的盆地。

The site consists of a series of terraces, oriented north- south and falling to the east. The house is located over two terraces and overlooks the garden terrace below. There are significant mountain views to the north and sweeping views of the peninsula to the east. South-east winds are severe in summer.The existing garden terrace contained an ostentatious water folly at its southern end, comprising a water cascade falling in to a pond with elaborate fountains. This feature is on axis to a large pool on the far end of the terrace, separated by a large expanse of garden.While this garden folly appealed to the new owners’ sense of humour, they requested that it be ‘toned down’ and incorporated into a meaningful outdoor relaxation area for the appreciation of the back of Table Mountain to the north, a view they love, but cannot really appreciate from the house.The siting concept was to locate the new pavilion both as a termination of the garden, as a backdrop to the water feature and as an evocation of the mountain across the valley. It required both solidity and presence, transparency and lightness.The earth banks behind the pavilion were manipulated to form a natural basin

设计意图

Design Intentions

展馆试图解决一个复杂的问题：当周围的环境既不自然又有力地“自然”的时候，如何与地方进行有意义的对话。这就要求认真考虑建筑、自然和现代三者之间的关系。这座建筑的本意是自然的：包含景观的升华，然后让它自然地被周围的环境所包含。我们把我们的考虑局限在永恒的、简单的、描绘太阳运动、白天光线变化的质量、夜间景观的神秘和神奇上。对于静止、空虚、可能，意图是尽可能多地说，尽可能少地说，并尽可能多地留下未说的…

The pavilion attempts to address a complex question: how to create a meaningful dialogue with place when the surroundings are both de-natured and powerfully ‘natured’. This requires that the relationship between architecture, nature and modernity is carefully considered. The building is intended to be of nature: to contain a distillation of landscape which then allows it to be naturally contained by its surroundingsWe limited our consideration to the timeless, the simple, to charting the movement of the sun, the changing quality of light during the day, the mystery and magic of the landscape at night. To stillness, emptiness, possibility.The intention is to say as much as possible with as little as possible and to leave as much as possible unsaid…

一种抽象的雕塑，是鸟巢和树冠的升华，漂浮在花园的平面上。抽象的形式既不是纯粹的美学，也不是纯粹的理性。它被认为是基本的，它本身更像是一个物体，而不是一个建筑物，它一方面能与周围自然景观的力量相竞争，另一方面又能与周围环境的人为力量相竞争。改变的概念，在白天和一年中所表达的时间的流逝，被一个周界的光圈所追踪，它在建筑物粗糙的混凝土墙壁上调节着一种不断变化和微妙的光的作用。

An abstract sculpture, which is a distillation of nest and tree canopy, floating over the flat plane of the garden. The abstract form is neither purely aesthetic nor purely rational. It is conceived to be elemental, of itself, more of an object than a building, which can compete in its perceptual power with the strength of the surrounding natural landscape on the one hand and the artificiality of its immediate surroundings on the other. The notion of change, the passing of time expressed through the day and the year, is tracked by a perimeter aperture which mediates an ever changing and subtle play of light on the rough concrete walls of the building.

设计实现组织

Design Realisation Organisation & Accommodation

该宿舍包括多个座位区，包括遮掩区、露天座位区和烧烤区。室内设有小厨房、储藏室和浴室，距离房屋较远，可为个人和大型聚会提供灵活的娱乐场所。展馆布置在交叉轴线上。长轴是现有水体特征与游泳池之间的存在轴。它是用木地板表示的，是连接两侧景观的轴线。交叉轴线是由住所和邻近的服务区块定义的，建筑物的布置是为了创造一系列具有不同空间质量的户外场所，以便有层次感和多样性的体验。

The accommodation comprises a number of seating areas, both under cover and in the open and a barbeque area. A small kitchen, storage and bathroom block are included due to the distance from the house and complete a flexible entertainment place for individual and large scale gatheringsThe pavilion is arranged on intersecting axes. The major axis was an existing one between the existing water feature and the swimming pool. It is expressed by the timber floor plane and is really the axis which connects to landscape on both sides. The cross axis, is defined by the shelter and adjacent services block.The placement of the building was calculated to create a series of outdoor places with different spatial qualities to allow for a layered and varied experience.

Structure & Material The materials are minimal- concrete, timber and textured plaster.The entire canopy structure is of self-compacting reinforced concrete, with a Penetron additive. The shuttering was pine planking, planed all round. This smoother surface treatment was specified, in order not to disturb the overall unity of the form in the raking sunlight.
