Text description provided by the architects. Located in the leafy suburb of Higgovale, set below the iconic Table Mountain, House Invermark overlooks the city and harbour of Cape Town. Forty seven years after receiving a medal for excellence, House Invermark has been awarded a prestigious Commendation from the Cape Institute for Architecture (CIfA), in recognition of noteworthy contributions to architecture.

它最初是由受人尊敬的南非建筑师吉尔伯特·科林(Gilbert Colyn)于1969年为自己设计的,灵感来源于两座标志性的现代主义建筑,即菲利普·约翰逊(Phillip Johnson)1949年的玻璃屋和米斯·范德洛(Mies Van Der Rohe)的1951年这座房子是由建筑师Stefan Antoni在2013年购买的,他是SAOTA的董事。到了这个阶段,它已经达到了不良的失修状态,出现了许多与建筑物的语言完全不符的不适当的改动和补充。如果不是安东尼的干预,它可能会面临拆除,因为它的遗产地位,作为一个优秀的例子,当代建筑没有得到承认。
Designed originally for himself by respected South African architect Gilbert Colyn in 1969, it was inspired by two iconic modernist houses, namely that of Phillip Johnson’s 1949 Glass House and Mies van der Rohe’s 1951 Farnsworth House. The house was purchased by architect Stefan Antoni, director at SAOTA, in 2013. By this stage it had reached a poor state of disrepair and featured numerous inappropriate alterations and additions totally out of character with the language of the building. Had it not been for Antoni’s intervention, it might have faced demolition as its heritage status as being a fine example of contemporary architecture was not recognised.

SAOTA的谨慎和敏感的改动和增加使这座受到威胁的建筑回到了原来的状态,增强了它的总体组成,并大大地完善了它的生活经验,使它与当代生活相适应。在起居室,厨房、主卧室和浴室、结构和屏风被拆除,以促进与当代生活相关的流动。
SAOTA’s careful and sensitive alterations and additions have returned the threatened building back to its original state, enhanced its overall composition and significantly refined the living experience to bring it up to date with contemporary living. In the living area, kitchen, main bedroom and bathrooms, structure and screens were removed to facilitate improved flows associated with contemporary living.

此外,还改变了外部空间配置,将游泳池从较暗的山体一侧迁移到阳光明媚的街道海景一侧,为街道提供了急需的隐私。这使得庭院变成了一个家庭花园,种植了草坪和一排长春花(SamburusNigra)的树木,沿着一个新的线性水特征。街道界面也进行了实质性的重新设计。这些变化大大增加了房子相对于景观的经验。值得注意的是,当科林看到房子完工后,他给人留下了很好的印象。
Changes were also effected to the exterior spatial configuration involving the relocation of the swimming pool from the darker mountain side to the sunny street sea view side, providing much needed privacy from the street. This freed the courtyard to become a family garden planted with lawn and a row of Elderflower (Sambucus Nigra) trees running along a new linear water feature. The street interface was also substantially redesigned. These changes have served to significantly augment the experience of the house relative to the landscape. It is noteworthy that when Colyn viewed the house after its completion, he was suitably impressed.
