Hillside坐落在Stellenbosch的Helderberg山脉的山坡上，坐落在滚滚的葡萄园、一座小花岗岩小山和下面的一条河流之间。

Situated on the slopes of the Helderberg Mountains in Stellenbosch and nestled between rolling vineyards, a koppie (small granite hill) and a river below, Hillside is simultaneously arresting and juxtaposed as fits flawlessly into its surroundings.

你走近房子，沿着陡峭的车道蜿蜒穿过葡萄园。车道和前厅是传统农舍的现代诠释。它的总体特征是规划房子的位置，但更具体的是砾石车道、宽阔的前厅、露天车库，让人联想到谷仓和水景，让人联想到动物的饮水槽。这个现代的饮水槽是由一个现代建筑水龙从屋顶的房子。

You approach the house up a steep driveway meandering through the vineyards. The driveway and the forecourt are a modern interpretation of a traditional farmhouse. This is characterised overall by the planning of the house’s location but also more specifically by the gravel driveway, expansive forecourt, drive-in open garaging reminiscent of a barn and water feature evocative of an animal’s drinking trough. This modern drinking trough is then fed by a modernist architectural waterspout from the roof of the house.

这些农舍的特点也不仅仅是视觉上的。其他感官也被刺激：你的气味被农田和乡村周围的气味刺激，当你听到汽车轮胎下面的砾石时，你的听觉也是如此。

These farmhouse characteristics are not just visual either. Other senses are also stimulated: your scent is stimulated by the smells of the farmlands and rural surrounding as is your auditory sense when you hear the gravel beneath the car’s tires.

每次你去希尔赛德，都会有一种真正的抵达感。进入前门是从一个双面楼梯从左或右的砾石到达庭院。这条短短的楼梯是对传统的海角白话文的殖民影响的一种认可(开普敦内外的许多建筑，比如好望堡、市政厅和托凯庄园，都有这种双面到达的楼梯)。

There is a genuine sense of arrival every time you visit Hillside. Access to the front door is gained from a double-sided staircase from left or right of the gravel arrivals courtyard. This short stairway is a nod to the Colonial influence of traditional Cape vernacular typical to architecture seen in the Cape (many buildings in and around Cape Town like The Castle of Good Hope, the City Hall and Tokai Manor House, for example, boast this kind of double-sided arrival staircase).

作为游客-和房主-你完全意识到了令人惊奇的环境，但一到农场庭院式的前厅，房子的规模就从三层楼变成了双卷式住宅，所以你并不能真正了解所有的楼层和楼层。除此之外，它绝不是农舍，反正也不是传统意义上的农舍。

As visitor – and homeowner – you are fully aware of the amazing setting but on arriving within the farm yard style forecourt the scale of the house changes from a 3-story to a double volume dwelling – so you don’t really get a sense of all the floors and levels. Beyond this point it is by no means farmhouse, well not in the traditional sense of the word anyway.

在走到实木双前门的台阶上之前，你还可以选择下楼到客人套房(当他们不在大学的时候，这些套间目前正被房主的大孩子们使用)。

Before walking up the steps to the solid timber double front doors you also have the choice of going downstairs to the guest suites (that are currently being used by the home owner’s older children when they’re not at university).

这所房子的一个重复的建筑特点是许多堆叠的花岗岩石墙。这些石头大部分都是从现场采集的。前门也位于这些花岗岩特色墙之一。在进入房子之前，一个人都不知道在另一边会有什么期待-这是一种有着意想不到的宝藏的塔迪斯！当你穿过门槛的时候，你马上会看到一个巨大的画窗，上面展示着住宅设计的内部庭院，以及房子后面的小山(花岗岩小山)。与花园的其他部分一样，高皮山(花岗岩小山)自诩为当地的飞鸟和本地植物群，旁边还有一个厨房花园。

A repetitive architectural feature of the house is the many stacked granite stone walls. Most of the stones for these have been harvested from the site. The front door is also situated within one of these granite feature walls. Before entering the house one has no idea what to expect on the other side – it’s a kind of tardis with unexpected treasures beyond! As you walk through the threshold you are immediately greeted by a giant picture window showcasing the inner courtyard around which the home is designed and the koppie (small granite hill) to the rear of the house. The koppie (small granite hill), as with the rest of the garden, boasts local fynbos and indigenous flora and a kitchen garden to the side.
