Architect Greg Truen, director at the Cape Town-based SAOTA talked with The Cool Hunter about KLOOF 119A, a residence SAOTA designed for a client he knows well: Truen himself and his small family.

总部位于开普敦的SAOTA的建筑师格雷格·特鲁恩(GregTruen)与“酷猎人”(CoolHunter)谈了Kloof119a，这是一个为他熟知的客户设计的住宅SAOTA：Truen本人和他的小家庭。

There was no need to interpret the brief as it was very clear: “To create a house that made the most of the mountain site and the views that surround the house while obscuring the busy street and the surrounding houses from the view.”

没有必要解释这份简报，因为它是非常清楚的：“创造一所房子，充分利用山的遗址和周围的意见房子，同时遮住繁忙的街道和周围的房屋，从视野中。

The sightlines are, indeed, worth preserving as the residence sits below Lion’s Head with views of Table Mountain, Lion’s Head, Signal Hill, the city of Cape Town, the Boland mountains and the wine-growing region in the distance.

这些观光线确实值得保留，因为它坐落在狮子头下，俯瞰台山、狮子头、信号山、开普敦市、波兰山和远处的葡萄酒种植区。

The architecture of the 850 square-metre (9,150 sq. ft) residence takes full advantage of the views and also of the characteristics of the land on which the house is situated. Natural rock and stone, geometric angles and no visually annoying colour or material accents that break the spell.

850平方米（9,150平方米）的建筑。FT)住宅充分利用了该房屋所在的土地的观点和特征。天然岩石和石头，几何角度，没有视觉上令人烦恼的颜色或材料口音，打破了咒语。

To keep the busy street blocked away, the house’s street-front wall is an imposing, traditional Cape stone wall.

为了堵住这条繁忙的街道，房子的街前墙是一堵气势磅礴的传统角石墙。

The entrance, a large metal front door between the stone wall and the house proper, opens into a small lobby connected to a courtyard garden.

入口是在石墙和房子本身之间的一扇大金属前门，通向一个与庭院花园相连的小大厅。

The three-level house’s top level has the most impressive views and the key living spaces are located on this level: the open-plan kitchen, the dining room and lounge. The family’s work and bedroom spaces are on the mid-level with the garage, gym, cinema and guest room on the lower level.

这座三层住宅的顶层有着最令人印象深刻的景色，而关键的居住空间就位于这一层：开放式厨房、餐厅和休息室。家庭的工作和卧室空间在中层，车库，健身房，电影院和客房在较低的层。

Each level has its own gardens and courtyards. These gardens extend from the mountain surface down against the house, screening the neighbouring buildings and allowing light into spaces that would otherwise be dark and isolated.

每一层都有自己的花园和庭院。这些花园从山面延伸到房子的对岸，屏蔽了附近的建筑物，让光线进入原本黑暗和孤立的空间。

Landscaping of the project is by Franchesca Watson Garden Design, known for elegant projects all across Southern Africa, North America and the Seychelles, ranging in scope from individual gardens to entire estates and hotel properties.

该项目是由Franchesca Watson花园设计公司进行的，该项目以遍布南部非洲、北美和塞舌尔的优雅项目而闻名，涉及范围从各个花园到整个庄园和酒店物业。

After living in the residence for about a year, Greg Truen is happy and still describes the project with words that echo the brief. “The spaces are simple use-zones articulated by level changes in the floor and ceilings. There are gardens on every level which extend into the view creating the impression that the building sits in the mountain landscape. The inverted pyramid roof allows for views of the peaks of Lion’s Head and Table Mountain and allows one to track the movement of the sun and moon across the sky.”

在这里住了大约一年后，格雷格·特鲁恩(GregTruen)很高兴，他仍然用呼应简短的话来描述这个项目。“这些空间是简单的使用区域-由地板和天花板的水平变化构成的区域。每一层都有花园，延伸到视野中，给人的印象是建筑物坐落在山景中。倒金字塔屋顶可以俯瞰狮子头和台山的山峰，还可以追踪太阳和月亮在天空中的运动。“
