芦荟山脊屋(AaloRidge House)是一个真正的“Mesian盒”，它将大胆的当代建筑设计融入了非洲本土沿海森林的环境中，尽管它的规模相对较小，但它还是做出了一项巨大的建筑声明，它宣扬了这样一种观念：一座梦想的房子不需要扩张和富丽堂皇的建筑，但事实上，

A veritable 'Mesian box' of bold contemporary architectural design set into the African indigenous coastal forest context, Aloe Ridge House makes a big architectural statement despite its relatively diminutive dimensions, promoting the notion that a dream house needn't be sprawling and palatial but that in fact, small can be beautiful.

这座房子在它的角落位置上是骄傲的，是一个渐进的悬臂形式，宣布它的存在，是代表在房地产的建筑设计语言的范式转变。

平面地产路(公众)立面故意大胆、简约、简朴，紧贴西南工地建设线。其结果是一种视觉上引人入胜的建筑，有效地利用了这个小场地，为居民提供了有效的隐私，同时也是抵御来自西南地区的恶劣天气和强风的有效屏障。此外，一个狭窄的线性计划形式，最大限度地开放和隐蔽的私人空间，这背后的生活，娱乐和放松的东北，接近野生的天然灌木和展望未来的视野。

The planar estate road (public) facade is intentionally bold, minimalist and austere and hard up against the south western site building line. The result is a visually engaging architecture that makes efficient use of the small site, provides effective privacy to the inhabitants whilst at the same time acting as an efficient barrier to bad weather and prevailing strong winds coming from the south west. In addition a narrow linear plan form, maximizes openness and sheltered private space for living, entertainment and relaxation behind this to the North East, in close proximity to the wild natural bush and looking out towards the view beyond.

 First Floor Plan

一层平面图

这座房子的入口处是一个经过仔细考虑的宏伟的、体积加倍的玻璃、木材和混凝土组件的布局，并以“环绕”的形式制作，这是最近都会极住宅的一个特征。

The entrance to the house is a carefully considered grand, double volume arrangement of components in glass, timber and concrete and with 'wrap around' form making, a signature characteristic of recent Metropole homes.

从一开始就有一种“大”和“哇”的感觉。

There is a sense of 'big-ness' and 'wow factor' right from the start.

车库结构的屋顶所创造的强烈的水平线提供视觉轴向推力到入口点，进入一个透明的双卷入口区域，并穿过厨房和生活空间。

The strong horizontal line created by the roof of the garage structure provides visual axial thrust to the point of entry, into a transparent double volume entrance area and through to the kitchen and living spaces beyond.

在内部，在底层，开放式平面设计至少要有隔墙，内部和外部之间没有内门和水平门槛，这有助于用户体验一个单一的大型多用途空间，这种空间可以放松、整洁和天气允许，能够打开、连接和扩展到户外。

Internally, at ground floor level, open plan design with a minimum of dividing walls, no internal doors and level thresholds between inside and outside facilitate a user experience of a single large multi-use space that unconstricted, uncluttered and weather permitting, is able to open up and connect and extend to the outdoors.

高水平的周边条形窗口在视觉上减轻了一楼建筑质量的体验，增强了底层生活、餐饮和娱乐区域的垂直维度的体验。

High level perimeter strip windows visually lighten the experience of the first floor building mass overhead and enhance the experience of the vertical dimension of the living, dining and entertainment areas at ground floor level.

 Ground Floor Plan

一个宽敞的外装饰区，有跳水池和开阔的草坪区域，鼓励居民们尽情享受和庆祝户外娱乐、娱乐和放松的生活方式。

在一楼，再一次的设计重点是促进一种与隐私开放的感觉，并在有限的空间中创造一个多样化的、快乐的场所。虽然对隐私的需求决定了门的使用，但这些门的高度为2.6米，开放时可以通过不间断的天花板来体验空间的连续性。

At first floor level, once again the design focus was to promote a sense of openness with privacy and create a diverse, joyful place in a limited space. Whilst the need for privacy has dictated the use of doors, these doorways are full height at 2.6m and when open allow continuity of space to be experienced through an uninterrupted ceiling plane.

位于这一层的3间卧室向高架阳台开放，可以俯瞰东面和远山的树梢和远山，以及西边的夕阳。一系列可移动的巴劳木屏风为干净、现代的室内带来了过滤过的日光，同时又为现代外观增添了一定程度的细节、自然色彩和纹理，同时又不牺牲隐私。

The 3 bedrooms located at this level open out to an elevated balcony which allows distant views over the tree tops to the sea in the east and distant hills and the setting sun to the west. A series of movable Balau timber screens bring in filtered daylight to the clean, modernist interiors, without sacrificing privacy whilst adding a degree of detail and natural colours and texture to the modern façade.

在芦荟山脊屋，有一个对立统一。

In Aloe Ridge House there is a unity of opposites.

清洁，硬和直线的人为干预满足软流动，不规则的线条和纹理的自然灌木丛上下文在尊重的和谐。

The clean, hard and straight lines of the man-made intervention meet the soft flowing irregular line and textures of the natural bush context in a respectful harmony.

这座建筑把巨大的南非人带到户外，反过来又鼓励居民们冒险到里面去。

The architecture brings the great big South African outdoors in and in turn encourages the inhabitants to venture out into it.

广泛的悬臂共振的树冠，提供了一种轻盈和浮动的上部建筑质量在开阔的平面下。

Extensive cantilevers resonant of the canopy of the Albizia tree provide a sense of lightness and floating of the upper building mass on the open plan lower level.

玻璃的广泛使用打破了传统的内外视觉障碍，并提供了自然植被的反射，这是它的背景。

The extensive use of glass breaks down the traditional visual barriers between inside and out as well as providing reflections of the natural vegetation that is its context.

天然材料的调色板，包括泥土色调，木材屏风，装饰石头覆层与大胆和进步的建筑形式并置，创造了一个小房子，它“装大拳”，不仅在视觉和空间上令人兴奋，而且舒适和亲密。

The palette of natural materials including earthy colour tones, timber screens, decking stone cladding juxtapose with the bold and progressive architectural form making, creating a small home that ‘packs a big punch’ and that is not only visually and spatially exciting, but also comfortable and intimate.
