Higgovale私宅

项目拥抱了桌山、狮子头和信号山的山坡所提供的美丽自然景观，也坐落在魔鬼山和信号山之间的城市碗弧度中心，该建筑的场地提供了城市和周围都市区的广阔视野。

This home embraces the beautiful natural landscape provided by the slopes of Table Mountain, Lion’s Head and Signal Hill. Situated in the center of the City Bowl’s curvature between Devil’s Peak and Signal Hill, the building’s site offers expansive views of the city and the surrounding metropolitan area.

项目场地所面临的一些挑战是，如何利用连贯的空间流线和调解环境因素，从较低的缆车斜坡通向桌山国家公园的倾斜地形，同时最大限度地利用和框定城市、海湾和山脉的全景。该建筑由其与景观的关系来定义；在某些情况下，带来自然环境视野，而在另一些情况下，通过将内部空间完全向周围开放，模糊了内部和外部空间的定义。  

Some of the challenges presented by the site were negotiating the slanted terrain leading from the lower cable car slopes into Table Mountain National Park with a coherent spatial flow and mediating environmental factors whilst maximizing and framing the panoramic views of the city, bay and mountains beyond. The building is defined by its relationship to the landscape; in some instances, revealing glimpses of the natural setting while in others blurring the definition of interior and exterior spaces by opening up the interior spaces completely to the surroundings.  

这座三层建筑的体量从山坡上获得线索。建筑的基座（采用天然石材和石笼墙）被看作是山坡上岩石的延伸，这里有服务区、车库、员工公寓和客人公寓。 基地和石墙呈梯田状，并抬高了自然坡度，形成了主屋占用的新景观。 生活区以玻璃 "负空间 "的形式衔接在石基之上，但又被上方悬臂和体量较重的卧室所遮挡。 这样的安排保证了从桌山到桌湾的连续视觉和空间联系。在房子的山边有一个双容积的厨房，使得更多的私人空间（如书房、电视室和上面的卧室）和下面的生活区之间的互动成为可能。

The massing of this three level building takes clues from the mountain slope. The base of the building (in natural stone and gabion walls) is seen as an extension of the rocky outcrops on the slopes, and is housing service areas, garaging, a staff apartment and a guest apartment.  The base and stone walls are terraced and elevate the natural slope to form a new landscape for the main house to occupy.  The living areas are articulated as glazed “negative space” atop the stone base, but sheltered below the cantilevering and heavier volume of bedrooms above.  This arrangement ensures a continuous visual and spatial connection from Table Mountain to Table Bay. A double volume kitchen at the mountain side of the house enables interaction between the more private spaces (such as study, tv room and bedrooms above) and the living area below.

通过将泳池和地下娱乐区置于建筑的 "后方 "或山腰，进一步强调了房屋与周边和宏观景观的关系，从而增强了被山坡包围的感觉，并从城市的能量中获得一些喘息的机会。

The relationship of the house to both its immediate and macro-scale landscapes is further given emphasis by placing the pool and undercover entertainment areas at the “back” or mountainside of the building; thereby enhancing a sense of being enveloped in the mountain’s slopes and being offered some respite from the city’s energy.
