SAOTA Architect

SAOTA是一个动态的建筑实践事务所，其独特的工作是立即识别。Stefan Antoni、Philip Olmesdahl和Greg Truen的合作被认为是非洲新一代建筑师中最有趣的合作之一，在建筑前沿享有很高的知名度。

SAOTA is a dynamic architectural practice whose distinctive work is instantly recognisable. Considered one of the most interesting of Africas new generation of architects, the partnership of Stefan Antoni, Philip Olmesdahl and Greg Truen, enjoys a high profile at the cutting edge of architecture.

开普敦的SAOTA与美国建筑师开发商David Maman和比利时室内设计师Dieter Vander Velpen一起设计了这座位于Bel Air的住宅，坐落在陡峭的三角形场地上，可以看到从世纪城延伸到海洋的壮观峡谷景观。

Cape Town’s SAOTA, alongside US architect developer David Maman and Belgian interior designer Dieter Vander Velpen, designed this Bel Air residence, perched on a steep, triangular site with striking canyon views extending from Century City to the ocean.

受场地的几何形状和方向的启发，外部具有坚固的棱角形式。上层由白色铝制垂直屏风围合，这是一个质朴、干净的元素，漂浮在整体混凝土基座之上。这种质量元素赋予了建筑的主要街道特征，在其均匀的表面上被单一的起伏所打断，它的轻盈与它盘旋在上面的固体、触觉混凝土形成鲜明对比。

Inspired by the site’s geometry and orientation, the exterior has a robust angular form. The upper floor is enclosed in white aluminium vertical screens – a pristine, clean element that floats above a monolithic concrete base. This mass element, which gives the building’s primary street character, is interrupted by a single undulation in its otherwise uniform surface, its lightness contrasting with the solid, tactile concrete it hovers over.

进入该物业，建筑特征发生了变化。干净的线条仍然存在，但现在是碎片化的，有角度的大块墙引导游客走向入口，材料从金属和混凝土转变为朴实的原始质感表面。

Entering the property, the architectural character changes. Clean lines persist but are now fragmented, with angled mass walls guiding visitors towards the entrance, and the materiality shifts from metal and concrete to earthy travertine surfaces.

在内部，流动的、弯曲的形式和石头、木材和青铜的简单调色板创造了统一的、雕塑般的品质。从厨房岛台到由一整块大理石雕刻而成的圆形大理石浴室，天然材料和有机形状注入了温暖和幸福。

Inside, fluid, curved forms and a simple palette of stone, timber, and bronze create a unified, sculptural quality. Natural materials and organic shapes infuse warmth and well-being, from the kitchen island to the circular marble bath carved from a single piece of marble.

在建筑上，设计平衡了坚固与轻盈，角度与曲率，街道和风景，形成了强大的建筑陈述和茧状的培育环境。

Architecturally, the design balances solidity and lightness, angularity and curvature, street presence and scenic views, resulting in a powerful architectural statement and a cocooning nurturing environment.

街道入口的封闭和进入生活空间的释放之间的对比，其建筑线条加强了游泳池露台和峡谷侧翼的广阔视野，这是强大的。

The contrast between the containment of the street entrance and the release into the living space, with its architectural lines reinforcing the expansive views over the pool terrace and down the canyon’s flanks, is powerful.

一个令人难忘的大生活空间集中在景观上。落地玻璃墙无缝连接室内外空间，将主要生活区与泳池露台融合在一起。建筑塑造了景观，在必要时提供隐私，同时将景观的平静和宁静带入家庭的中心。

A memorably large living space is focused toward the view. Floor-to-ceiling glass walls seamlessly connect indoor and outdoor spaces, merging the main living areas with the pool terrace. The architecture shapes the views, providing privacy where necessary while drawing the landscape’s calmness and serenity into the home’s heart.
