Gota Dam Residence: A House on a Rock（东非悬崖上的木质别墅）（4）
Architects: Studio Seilern Architect, Muzia Sforza
Location: Kenya
Area: 1500.0 sqm
Project Year: 2012
Photographs: Angela Geddes, Bruce Rowlands
Budget: £1.2m
建筑设计：Sforza Seilern Architects
位置：肯尼亚
占地面积：1500平方米
造价：120万英镑
建筑依势而建，与周边环境融为了一体。整座建筑被包裹绿荫之中，视野非常开阔。远眺山陵给人带来独特的居住体验。
这一独特的别墅，可以俯瞰远处的大坝风景和农田，绝美的视野堪称叹为观止。
圆形的天窗，让室内更自然，从而模糊了室内外的界限。为了更与自然融合，建筑师故意让卧室变得更加敞开，落地窗也达到了极好的引景入室的效果。
屋顶保留了原有的树木，新建的泳池让建筑更柔和，可以很好地放松身体和灵魂。
Sforza Seilern Architects, an artistic collaboration between Studio Seilern Architects and Muzia Sforza, completed their first African project: a house on a rock.
The 1500sm building is situated atop a granite rock overlooking a large man-made dam, or reservoir for the extensive surrounding farmland. The area is, to say the least, breathtaking and awe-inspiring, and deserved a piece of architecture that is equally awe-inspiring.
The views and the drama of the granite cliff plunging into the dam were the inspiration for the concept, where oversized cantilevered roofs and extensive terraces frame the views and shelter from the vertical African sun.
The house consists of three basic elements:
- Two granite blocks, enclosing bedrooms and support spaces, anchor the building into the rock, and become part of the surrounding topography.
- An oversized timber platform and a cantilevering roof frame the exterior spaces and the panoramic views. These are designed to focus the eye to the horizon, while creating shaded exterior spaces for living and dining areas.
- Finally two glass boxes span between the deck and roof, and the natural granite topography. These enclose the winter living areas at the upper level and the master bedroom suite at the lower level. They are transparent enclosures that again emphasise the views and the feeling of living within the surrounding landscape. A small horizon pool at the lower level visually integrates the dam reservoir with the lower levels of the house.
All elements are orientated in such a manner as to create physical adjacencies and visual privacy where required.
The cantilevers roofs and stretched terraces give the house the appearance of being gently floating above the rock. The roofs protect the floor-to-ceiling glass from direct sun radiation.
The project had to deal with issues of hyper-inflation and lack of available material. All materials were sourced locally, except for specialist items such as the glass and the roof waterproofing. The granite used to clad the two anchor blocks were the 'crusts' cut-off that came from the granite excavation. The dynamite drill holes are still apparent and tie the building to the area of excavation. Using the granite from the site also insured that the building blended harmoniously with its surroundings.
Inspired by the rich local culture of basket weaving, a garage cover was devised using different sized rebars and weaved to form a sun-shading canopy over cars. This canoly is supported by simple I-beams on one side and anchored to a large existing bioulder on the other side. Climbing flowering creepers are envisioned to cover the whole canopy, softening greening the steel weave. The owner being a musician required a place to retire and compose/record her music. Again taking inspiration in the natural granite cliff overhanging the house, we decided to hand a granite cube in the middle of the dense green jungle at the base of the cliff. Strategically placed windows, creating corners and band cuts into the granite cube offer dramatic views of the cliff and the jungle below.

迪拜沙漠透出的是沉着和冷静，
孩子的眼睛如此迷人，
同车的一位领导明天送我们去阿布扎比，
我遇到这样的事真的很多次了，
每次旅行都不是普通意义，
收获的都是意外惊喜，
沙漠能发挥暗涌的极限情感，
即使我不是在撒哈拉读叶芝的诗，
在广袤无垠的沙漠倾听阿拉伯的故事同样美好，
可阿凡提的魔法世界有点drama queen, 一碗面120RMB，一易拉罐啤酒70RMB[微笑] https://t.cn/R2WJvSP
