在南非,开普敦的wolff建筑事务所完成了这座位于塞德堡深山中的别墅。在项目开始建设之前,建筑师通过咨询植物学家意见,对该地区的各种保护植被进行罗列分析,以便项目能根据该地区植被的最佳观赏角度及其自然群落边界进行选址。
in south africa, cape town-based practice wolff architects has constructed a residential property deep in the cederberg mountains. in consultation with botanists, a clearing was found within the region’s protected vegetation before the structure was oriented in relation to specific viewpoints and natural delineating boundaries.
as the area is prone to periodical bush fires and troops of destructive baboons, the house is both flame-proof and monkey-proof. however, as heinrich wolff explains, the biggest challenge for the architects was dealing with the scale of the project: with no marks of human life on site, it became very difficult to judge the scale of landscape features. to make matters worse, conventional land surveying produces contour plans that describe the topography only with no ability to describe the plethora of rocks and bush. to design the building we had to develop a way to see the vegetation, rocks and topography simultaneously. the solution was to have the environment analyzed with a 3D scanner, meaning that the landscape indicated on the section and elevation drawings is the exact site.
