架构师提供的文本描述。该遗址位于开普敦班特里湾的中心地带，位于狮子山俯瞰海湾的斜坡上。简短的是创建一个拥有大西洋海岸所有景观的家，同时也是为了满足家庭生活的实际需要，并创造一种避难所的感觉。

Text description provided by the architects. The site is positioned in the heart of Bantry Bay in Cape Town, on the slopes of Lion’s Head overlooking the bay. The brief was to create a home with all the spectacle of an Atlantic Seaboard showpiece but also to respond to the practical needs of family life and to create a feeling of sanctuary.

这四层楼的起居区都是开放式的，但却有着鲜明的特色。一个简约的风化红木和灰色页岩街道的外观打开一个雕塑到达的庭院，这反过来导致一个入口画廊。戏剧性的体积，深远的视野，雕塑和原始纹理-岩石，木材，混凝土-是这所房子的基石，旨在形成一个画布为背景，并形成一个髌骨随着时间的推移。

Built over four floors, the living areas are open-plan yet have distinct identities. A minimalist weathered redwood and grey-shale street façade opens on to a sculptural arrival courtyard which in turn leads to an entrance gallery. Dramatic volume, far-reaching views, sculpture and raw textures – rock, timber, concrete – are the cornerstones of this house, designed to form a canvas for the setting and develop a patina over time.

家庭房位于庭院花园的山边，提供蚕茧的生活，而海边的双量居住和就餐区则更具戏剧性，它的混凝土墙和令人叹为观止的景致令人心花怒放。这个海洋正面部分是一个高耸的空间，由混凝土和岩石锚定-一条5吨重的粗凿花岗岩鸡尾酒酒吧，占据着生活空间的一侧。虽然面向大海，西临游泳池平台，但主要的生活区也向东的庭院花园开放，通过滑动玻璃门的方式进入这两个地方，玻璃门完全打开，它只不过是一个有屋顶的室外空间而已。

The Family room, placed on the mountain side of the courtyard garden, provides for cocooned living while the double volume Living and Dining area on the sea side is more dramatic, with its rippling concrete feature fireplace wall and commanding views. This ocean fronting section is a soaring space anchored by concrete and rock – a five-tonne cocktail bar of rough-hewn granite holds down one side of the living space. Although sea-oriented, with the pool terrace to the west, the main Living area also opens onto the courtyard garden on the east, with access to both by the way of sliding glass doors which open up so completely that it’s little more than a roofed outdoor space.

内部创造了一个情感和感官的旅程时，移动的房子。家具最少，线条简单。

The interiors create an emotional and sensory journey when moving through the house. Furnishings are minimal and lines are kept simple & neutral. By utilising a restrained and raw base of textures and finishes, the décor feels natural and subtly organic; the overall ambiance is one of calm and serenity. Colour is kept to a bare minimum; the interior works predominantly with a light and shade tonal range, allowing views of the mountain, the ocean and sky, and also the artwork to introduce colour.
