架构师提供的文本描述。这所房子坐落在一座安静、宁静的林立上，四周环绕着古树。主楼由两个翅膀组成：活生生的机翼和卧室的机翼。双翼都有长而低的屋顶，似乎漂浮在它们的上空和上空。这些屋顶是由外部钢柱支撑的，因为所有的墙壁都停在天花板上，所有的内墙和外墙上都有牧师的窗户。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is set on a secluded, tranquil stand surrounded by established trees. The main house consists of 2 wings: the living wing and the bedroom wing. Both wings have long, low roofs which appear to float over and past them. These roofs are supported on external steel posts, as all of the walls stop short of the ceiling, with clerestory windows on top of all internal and external walls.

牧师的窗户允许从房子里看到树木，并允许白天有一束柔和的光线照射到房子里。晚上，天花板被隐藏在牧师窗户下面的荧光灯照亮。这创造了柔和的环境光，并加强了屋顶的浮动效果。高耸的屋顶和宽大的混凝土围裙使房子在空间和视觉上延伸到花园。深屋顶悬垂也遮住了玻璃在夏季，保护房子不受太阳热量的增加。

The clerestory windows allow views of the trees from inside the house, and admit a soft, diffused light into the house during the day. At night, the ceilings are lit up by means of fluorescent lights concealed below the clerestory windows. This creates a soft, ambient light, and enhances the floating effect of the roofs. The deep overhangs of the roofs and the generous concrete aprons around the house extend the house into the garden both spatially and visually. The deep roof overhangs also shade the glazing in summer, protecting the house from solar heat gain.

一层平面图

在整个起居区的北侧，有一个16米长的地板到天花板，电动无框玻璃滑动门。当打开门时，门消失在空腔壁中，起居区域实际上变成了一个开放的露台，南侧有2个大的空腔滑块打开，进入一个隐蔽的庭院。

Along the full length of the northern side of the living area is a 16 meter long floor to ceiling motorized frameless glass sliding door. When opened, the door disappears into cavity walls, and the living area effectively becomes an open covered patio, with 2 large cavity sliders on the south side opening onto a secluded courtyard.

大门是由南非艺术家马库斯·纽斯特特设计的。它由一片外部的激光切割钢和内部的激光切割胡桃组成，中间有清晰的玻璃，让光线在白天照射进来，晚上发光。激光切割图像来源于谷歌地球的图像，显示了约翰内斯堡的地形和周边地区。极简主义的建筑，广阔的空间，柔和的自然日光和白色的墙壁在房子里作为其他艺术作品的背景。

The entrance door was designed by South African artist Marcus Neustetter. It comprises a sheet of laser cut steel on the outside and laser cut walnut on the inside, with clear glass in between to let light shine in during the day and out at night. The laser cut image originates from a Google Earth image showing the topography of Johannesburg and the surrounding areas. The minimalist architecture, expansive spaces, soft natural daylight and white walls in the house serve as a backdrop for other artwork throughout the house.

生态公园被设计成花园的一部分，砾石堤岸作为花园和游泳池之间的过渡，种植的湿地与周围的景观视觉上融合在一起。

The ecopool has been designed to read as part of the garden, with gravel banks acting as the transition between the garden and the pool, and planted wetlands blending visually with the surrounding landscaping.
