新教堂位于南非的葡萄园内,由出生在南非的伦敦Steyn工作室的Coetzee Steyn设计。其宁静的雕塑形式模仿了周围山脉的轮廓,向点缀在西开普省乡村景观中的历史悠久的荷兰角檐角致敬。屋顶由纤细的混凝土浇铸而成,当每一个起伏都戏剧性地落下与地面相接时,屋顶就会自我支撑。屋顶结构的每一个波浪都升到了顶峰,宽阔的玻璃与中央的十字架相连接,装饰着外墙。

The new chapel, set within a vineyard in South Africa, is designed by South-African born Coetzee Steyn of London based Steyn Studio. Its serene sculptural form emulates the silhouette of surrounding mountain ranges, paying tribute to the historic Cape Dutch gables dotting the rural landscapes of the Western Cape. Constructed from a slim concrete cast shell, the roof supports itself as each undulation dramatically falls to meet the ground. Where each wave of the roof structure rises to a peak, expanses of glazing adjoined centrally by a crucifix adorn the façade.

从诗篇36:7中获得诗意的灵感,清脆的白色外形被构思成一个轻盈的动态结构,似乎漂浮在山谷中。反射的池塘强调了结构的轻盈感。教堂位于一个基座上,从平坦的土地上升起,在周围环境中提供了一个层次分明的焦点。新种植的葡萄园和石榴园在裸露的场地上创造了一片郁郁葱葱的绿洲。

Drawing poetic inspiration from Psalm 36:7, the crisp white form is conceived as a lightweight, and dynamic structure which appears to float within the valley. A reflective pond emphasises the apparent weightlessness of the structure. Elevated upon a plinth, the chapel rises from the flat land its sits upon, providing a hierarchical focal point within its surroundings. New planting including a vineyard and pomegranate orchard create a lush green oasis on the otherwise exposed site.

在内部,在简单的矩形规划中,创造了一个大而开放的集会空间。高度抛光的水磨石地板反射着内部的光线。波浪形的粉刷天花板投下了一系列的阴影,随着一天中光线的变化,这些阴影在空间内跳舞。这种适度的材料调色板为葡萄园和山峦的美景创造了一个中性的背景。

Inside, a large and open assembly space is created within a simple rectangular plan. Highly polished terazzo floors reflect light internally. The undulating whitewashed ceiling casts an array of shadows which dance within the volume as light levels change throughout the day. This modest palette of materials creates a neutral background to the impressive framed views of the vineyard and mountains beyond.

为了保持屋顶的结构形式和装配空间的纯粹性,建筑功能方案的其他元素要么隐藏在基座内,要么被隐藏在周围花园的外角。

In order to keep the structural form of the roof and assembly space pure, other elements of the buildings functional programme are either hidden within the plinth, or discretely within the outer corners of the surrounding garden.

受19世纪荷兰开普省农场上建立的摩拉维亚传教站的启发,小教堂没有尖顶–与周围令人印象深刻的自然环境相比,小教堂失去了一种意义。

Inspired by the simplicity of the Moravian Mission Stations established on Cape Dutch farms in the 19th Century, the chapel lacks a spire – relinquishing a sense of significance in relation to its impressive natural surroundings.

礼拜堂是一个开放的怀抱,邀请人们进入,同时也是一个向外延伸到山谷和山脉的空间,提高了人们对上帝在周围环境中的创造的认识。

An open embrace which invites in, the chapel is also a space that extends outwards into the valley and mountains beyond, raising the awareness of God’s creation in the immediate environment.
