“The new chapel, set within a vineyard in South Africa, is designed by South-African born Coetzee Steyn of London based Steyn Studio. Its serene sculptural form emulates the silhouette of surrounding mountain ranges, paying tribute to the historic Cape Dutch gables dotting the rural landscapes of the Western Cape. Constructed from a slim concrete cast shell, the roof supports itself as each undulation dramatically falls to meet the ground. Where each wave of the roof structure rises to a peak, expanses of glazing adjoined centrally by a crucifix adorn the façade.

新礼拜堂，设置在一个葡萄园在南非，是由南非出生的Coetzee Steyn在伦敦的Steyn工作室设计。它宁静的雕塑形式模仿周围山脉的轮廓，向历史上点缀西开普省乡村景观的荷兰角山墙致敬。屋顶由一个细长的混凝土浇铸壳建造，当每一次起伏剧烈地落在地面上时，屋顶支撑着自己。在屋顶结构的每一波上升到一个高峰，扩大的玻璃连接在中央的十字架装饰的外观。

Drawing poetic inspiration from Psalm 36:7, the crisp white form is conceived as a lightweight, and dynamic structure which appears to float within the valley. A reflective pond emphasises the apparent weightlessness of the structure. Elevated upon a plinth, the chapel rises from the flat land its sits upon, providing a hierarchical focal point within its surroundings. New planting including a vineyard and pomegranate orchard create a lush green oasis on the otherwise exposed site.

从诗篇36：7中汲取诗意的灵感，清脆的白色形式被认为是一种轻巧的，充满活力的结构，似乎漂浮在山谷中。反光池强调结构的明显失重。礼拜堂从它所处的平坦土地上升起，在周围环境中提供了一个分级的焦点。新的种植，包括葡萄园和石榴园，创造了一个郁郁葱葱的绿洲在其他裸露的场地。

Inside, a large and open assembly space is created within a simple rectangular plan. Highly polished terazzo floors reflect light internally. The undulating whitewashed ceiling casts an array of shadows which dance within the volume as light levels change throughout the day. This modest palette of materials creates a neutral background to the impressive framed views of the vineyard and mountains beyond.

在内部，在一个简单的矩形计划中创建一个大而开放的装配空间。高度抛光的地板内部反射光线。起伏的白色天花板投下了一系列阴影，随着光的水平在一整天的变化，这些阴影在体积内舞蹈。这一温和的调色板材料创造了一个中立的背景，令人印象深刻的框架景观葡萄园和山脉以外。

In order to keep the structural form of the roof and assembly space pure, other elements of the buildings functional programme are either hidden within the plinth, or discretely within the outer corners of the surrounding garden.

为了保持屋顶和装配空间的结构形式纯净，建筑物功能规划的其他要素要么隐藏在地台内，要么在周围花园的外角谨慎地隐藏。

Inspired by the simplicity of the Moravian Mission Stations established on Cape Dutch farms in the 19th Century, the chapel lacks a spire – relinquishing a sense of significance in relation to its impressive natural surroundings.

受到19世纪在荷兰开普敦农场建立的摩拉维亚传教站的简单启发，教堂缺乏尖顶-与其令人印象深刻的自然环境相比，失去了一种意义感。

An open embrace which invites in, the chapel is also a space that extends outwards into the valley and mountains beyond, raising the awareness of God’s creation in the immediate environment.”

这个礼拜堂是一个开放的拥抱，它也是一个向外延伸到山谷和山脉之外的空间，提高人们对上帝在当下环境中的创造的意识。“
