Malan Vorster Architecture Interior Design
The architects have been involved with previous projects on this tree-rich property, and were commissioned to design a small contemporary house to compliment the existing collection of buildings - spatially organised around a modern interpretation of the Cape Werf.
建築師參與了這個樹木繁茂的地塊前也參與過其他項目，並受委託設計一棟小型現代房屋，以完備現有的建築群-在空間上圍繞對Cape Werf的現代詮釋。
Inspired by the trees on the estate, the client requested a cabin-like, one bedroomed hide-away resembling a tree house. The structure is located in a small clearing amongst forest-like gardens, and respond similarly to the verticality of the surrounding trees in order to maximise views from the highest portion of the site.
受莊園裡樹木的啟發，客戶要求一個類似樹屋的小屋，一間臥室的藏身之處。該結構位於森林般的花園中的一個小空地中，並且對周圍樹木的垂直度也有類似的反應，以便可以盡情欣賞現場的最高景觀。
Inspiration was drawn from the timber cabins of Horace Gifford and Kengo Kuma’s notions of working with the void or in-between space, while Louis Kahn’s mastery of pure form and the detailing ethic of Carlo Scarpa informed a process of geometric restraint and handcrafted manufacturing.
靈感來自Horace Gifford的木屋和Kengo Kuma關於在空間或中間空間工作的觀念，而Louis Kahn對純淨形式的掌握和Carlo Scarpa的細心道德則啟發了幾何約束和手工製造過程。
The organisational diagramme of the structure explores the pure geometry of a square, with each side divided into three modules and where two of these modules determine the diameter of a circle on each of the four sides of the square - resulting in a pin-wheel plan layout.
該結構的組織圖探索了正方形的純幾何形狀，每邊分為三個模塊，其中兩個模塊確定正方形四邊各邊的圓的直徑-從而得出風車平面圖佈局。
A square is directional and a circle not - the square relates to the North/South site geometry and the four circles to the organic and natural surroundings. Each circle’s centre is the location for a column, and circular rings, supporting the floor beams above, are connected to the columns by means of branch-like arms. Each ring circumscribes a half-round space ancillary to the main square living space on that level.
正方形是方向性的，不是圓形-正方形與北/南場地的幾何形狀有關，而四個圓圈與自然和自然環境有關。每個圓的中心都是圓柱的位置，支撐上方地板樑的圓環通過分支狀臂連接到圓柱。每個環在該水平上限制了附屬於主廣場居住空間的半圓形空間。
