这座靠近 V&A 海滨的筒仓区的开普敦 pied- -terre，被设计成一块空白的画布，供主人收藏不断增加的南非和非洲艺术品。该区域以 Zeitz MOCAA 为锚，它不仅是世界上最重要的艺术博物馆，致力于非洲和侨民的艺术家，而且还是英国的 Thomas Heatherwick 设计的当地建筑地标。该地区的大部分艺术和创意特征都源于它的存在。

This Cape Town pied- -terre, near to the V&A Waterfront’s Silo Precinct, was conceptualised as a blank canvas for the owner’s growing collection of South African and African art. The precinct is anchored by the Zeitz MOCAA, which is not only the most significant art museum in the world dedicated to artists from Africa and the diaspora but is also a local architectural landmark designed by the UK’s Thomas Heatherwick. Much of the district’s artistic and creative character derives from its presence.

其他重要的文化和地理标志包括俯瞰公寓一侧的码头和自然地标，如魔鬼峰(城市标志性的桌山的一部分)在另一侧。不可避免地，这些环境映照ARRCC和OKHA的室内的设计诠释。

Other significant cultural and geographical markers include views overlooking the marina on one side of the apartment and natural landmarks such as Devil’s Peak(part of the city’s iconic Table Mountain) on the other. Inevitably, these contextual prompts flavoured ARRCC and OKHA’s approach to the interiors.

客户简要说明了一个极简方式。考虑到公寓的长矩形形状，ARRCC选择创建一个统一的内壳，而不是一系列独立的房间。集成橱柜可以隐藏存储空间，并在整个公寓呈现光滑、整洁的表面。与此同时，这种方法为ARRCC创造了机会，通过规模和体积的变化重新定义室内建筑，巧妙地雕刻生活空间，在更大的开放空间中定义不同的区域。

The client brief specified a strictly minimalistic approach. With the long rectangular shape of the apartment in mind, ARRCC opted to create a unified inner shell rather than a series of separate rooms. Integrated cabinetry makes it possible to conceal storage and present sleek, uncluttered surfaces throughout the apartment. At the same time, this approach created opportunities for ARRCC to redefine the interior architecture withvariations in scale and volume, subtly sculpting into the living spaces to define distinct areas within the larger open-plan space.

其中最清晰易读的可能是香槟色的铝制厨房，它在更大的白色内部看起来是一个统一的插入。 然而，为餐厅和休息区创建了类似定义的体积。 这种方法已在公寓的不同区域使用不同的材料进行了重新设计：例如，生活空间中的细木工和浴室中的砂岩，同时保持其整体外观。 房间之间的过渡空间被概念化为美学的“清洁味觉”，使用材料、纹理和图案的变化。

Perhaps the most clearly legible of these is the champagne aluminium-clad kitchen, which appears as a unified insertion within the larger white interior. Similarly defined volumes, however, have been created for the dining and lounge areas. This approach has been reprised using different materials in different areas in the apartment: joinery in the living space and sandstone in the bathrooms, for example, while maintaining their monolithic appearance. The transitional spaces between rooms are conceptualised as aesthetic ‘palate cleansers’, using variations in materials, texture and pattern.

在极简主义简报的纯粹功能主义中，尽可能多的主题或概念主题是可能的，ARRCC 设计了一系列集成到细木工和照明设计中的运行线。 这些线条没有连接，在空间和室内建筑元素之间创造了一种隐含的连接感。

As much as a thematic or conceptual motif is possible within the pure functionalism of a minimalist brief, ARRCC devised a series of running lines integrated into the design of the joinery and lighting. These lines stop short of connecting, creating a sense of implied connectivity between spaces and elements of the interior architecture.

另一方面，起居区定制设计的灯具不仅起到“支撑元素”的作用，而且还隐喻了 ARRCC 和 OKHA 在公寓本身设计中所采用的方法。 它的组成部分清楚地表达了高科技精致的工业细节，例如网眼阴影，但连接线性部分的天然有机胡桃木块并列了设计的对比自然、手工制作的方面。 这些细节为设计增添了一层感官和情感的丰富性，同时又不损害其概念的精致功能。

The custom-designed light fitting in the living area, on the other hand, not only functions as a ‘holding element’ but also serves as a metaphor for the approach ARRCC and OKHA took in the design of the apartment itself. Its component parts are clearly expressed high-tech refined industrial detailing such as the mesh shades, yet the natural, organic walnut blocks that connect the linear sections juxtapose a contrasting natural, handcrafted aspect of the design. Such details add a layer of sensory and emotional richness to the design without compromising the refined functionality of its concept.

尽管室内建筑是一种雕刻空间的练习，但家具的设计是关于创造雕塑形式。 定制家具，例如休息区的整体石灰石咖啡桌，锚定和表达了空间体验，以相同形式语言的反向表达方式维持了这种方法。

As much as the interior architecture is an exercise in carving into space, the design of the furnishings was about creating sculptural forms. The custom furnishings, such as the monolithic limestone coffee table in the sitting area, anchor and articulate the spatial experience, sustaining the approach in an inverse expression of the same formal language.

公寓的宁静感是通过简单的有限材料色调来维持的，只有熟悉和时间才能让人感到满意。定制的酒柜，就像功能灯具一样，是公寓设计理念的象征钥匙。它不对称的门与纯粹极简主义的镜面表面形成鲜明对比，而这扇门则是一扇手工制作的、布满凹坑和锈迹斑斑的金属门。它复杂的纹理表达了极简主义创作的细节层次，只有当你与它互动时，才会恰当地揭示它的本质。

The apartment’s sense of serenity is maintained through a deceptively simple limited material palette, which becomes satisfyingly apparent only with familiarity and time. The bespoke drinks cabinet, like the feature light fitting, holds a symbolic key to the apartment’s design philosophy. Its asymmetrical doors contrast a purely minimalist mirrored surface with a heavily hand-worked, pitted and patinated metal door. Its complex texture expresses the level of detailing that goes into the creation of minimalism, which only properly reveals its nature when you interact with it.

这种限制实现了画廊般的品质，让艺术充分表达，同时保持舒适和宜居。 公寓可能看起来像一个封闭的单元，本身是完整的，但它仍然对其环境保持开放，无论是码头的闪闪发光的灯光和水上的游艇，还是该区域更广泛的艺术特征。

This restraint enables a gallery-like quality that allows the art full expression, while simultaneously remaining comfortable and liveable. The apartment might appear as an enclosed unit, complete in itself, but it remains open to its context, whether the sparkling lights of the marina and the yachts on the water, or the broader artistic identity of the precinct.
