花园咖啡厅 | Steyn Studio

Woven into the Landscape   编织成风景

Drawing inspiration from the ways the San as well as the early Dutch settlers first inhabited the Breede River Valley; the Garden Cafe is one of two sister buildings, the other a gift shop, carefully burrowed into new expansive gardens. The gardens were designed by Square One, who was selected through a rigirous proposals competition curated by us. It was the clients wish for the garden and buildings to communicate harmoniously.

从San和早期的荷兰定居者最初居住在Breede流域的方式中汲取灵感；花园咖啡厅是两座姐妹建筑之一，另一座是礼品店，精心嵌入了新的宽敞花园。花园设计成一个广场，该广场被我们选取用来策划严格的提案竞赛。客户希望花园和建筑物和谐地交流。

The simple architectural forms of the buildings were inspired by the San ‘Matjieshuis’ (Mat House) as well as the first dwellings of the Dutch settlers, ‘KapHuis’ (Truss House), which was apparently influenced by the San’s. The KapHuis was a series of A-frame trusses covered with thatch, with the interior lowered to allow for more headroom. Both structures were part of this historical landscape and blended subtly with their surroundings. In the garden context, the ‘mounds’ of the new structures have an uncanny resemblance to the nearby surrounding hills.

建筑物的简单建筑形式受到 San'Matjieshuis（马特之家）以及荷兰定居者的第一个住所Katruuis（桁架之家）的启发，而后者显然受到了San的影响。 KapHuis是一系列用茅草盖住的A型桁架，内部降低了以留出更多的净空间。两种结构都是该历史景观的一部分，并与周围环境巧妙地融合在一起。在花园环境中，新建筑物的“丘”与附近周围的山丘有着奇特的相似之处。

The gardens represents a micro version of the valley, which is now being cultivated by means of the new didactic gardens with the buildings nestled in it. The landscaping and the buildings were carefully designed so as not to compete with the existing architectural features of the estate. The gardens has a low visual profile with tree planting reinforcing the existing visual axii and landscape features such as wind breaks which stitches it back into the surrounding rural landscape.

花园代表了山谷的一个缩影，现在通过新的教学法花园进行耕种，并在其中筑起建筑物。美化环境和建筑物经过精心设计，以免与庄园现有的建筑特色冲突。花园的视觉轮廓较低，植树可增强现有的视觉轴心和景观特征，例如防风林将其缝合到周围的乡村景观中。

Intricate trellis type structures, a homage to the San huts, features as the visual focii and ‘herds’ people into ‘kraal’ (corral)-type forecourts, before twisting to form the enclosures of the cafe/restaurant and the shop which are then ‘carpeted’ over with the new gardens. The trellis itself will in time be overgrown. In order to hide the scale of the buildings, it was decided to have two separate buildings and have the functional back-of-house spaces underground, which also naturally insulated them. The expressed front-of-house spaces are partly sunken to reduce the scale impact of the flat arched structures. Apart from the forecourts being partly sheltered from winds, their sunken nature emphasizes views to the magnificent mountains. In order to allow the trellis pattern to appear continuously weaved between the interior and exterior, the glazing imitates its pattern, resulting in a zig-zag arrangement which assists the tall vertical structural span.

错综复杂的格子式结构，是对San小屋的致敬，表现为视觉焦点和“人群”进入“ kral”（栈式）前院，然后扭曲形成咖啡厅/餐厅和商店的围墙，然后将它们围成一圈形成新的花园“铺地毯”。格架本身将随着时间的推移而长满。为了隐藏建筑物的体量，决定采用两栋独立的建筑物，并在地下设有功能性的后院空间，这也自然地将它们隔离了起来。所展现的房屋前部空间部分下陷，以减少扁平拱形结构的体量影响。除了前庭部分被遮挡防风外，它们的下沉广场也凸显了壮丽的山脉景色。为了使格子图案在内部和外部之间连续编织，玻璃窗模仿其图案，形成锯齿状排列，以协助较高的垂直结构跨度。
