South African designer Porky Hefer took cues from the amorphous shape of bird nests to create this off-grid guesthouse on a wildlife reserve in Namibia.
The Nest at Sossus guesthouse is situated on the Namib Tsaris Conservancy, a 24,000-hectare reserve nestled between the Nubib and Zaris Mountains in Namibia’s Namib desert.
南非設計師Porky Hefer借鑒了鳥巢的無定形形狀，在納米比亞的野生動植物保護區上建立了這家離網旅館。
Nest at Sossus旅館坐落在納米布（Namib Tsaris）保護區，這是一個24,000公頃的保護區，坐落在納米比亞納米布沙漠中的努比卜山與扎里斯山之間。
It’s been designed by Porky Hefer to emulate the habitat of sociable weavers – a species of bird found in southern Africa known for building huge, bulging nests that are able to accommodate hundreds of birds at a time.
The four-room guesthouse is an evolution of the nest-like seating nooks that Hefer has created in the past by weaving plant stalks across metal skeletons.
它是由Porky Hefer設計的，可以模仿社交編織者的棲息地–在南部非洲發現的一種鳥類，以建造巨大的膨大巢而聞名，一次可以容納數百隻鳥類。
四室旅館是Hefer過去通過在金屬骨架上編織植物秸稈而創建的巢狀座位角的演變。
“I was convinced that my smaller nests were bigger than a chair or a design piece,” said Hefer.
“I designed these camps with nests all over them and then I tried the idea for three years, changing forms and materials according to the locations I was pitching them,” he continued.
“People didn’t really get it and preferred four walls and a roof…but I kept on trucking.”
赫弗說：“我堅信，我的小窩比椅子或設計作品大。”
他繼續說：“我在這些營地上設計了嵌套的巢穴，然後嘗試了三年，並根據我在這些巢穴中的位置改變了形式和材料。”
“人們並沒有真正理解它，而是選擇了四堵牆和一個屋頂……但是我一直在卡車上。”
When Hefer’s unusual accommodation concept was ultimately accepted by the owner of Namib Tsaris Conservancy, Swen Bachran, the designer did a series of hand-drawn sketches to consolidate what The Nest at Sossus would look like.
當納米布·薩里斯自然保護區的主人Swen Bachran最終接受了赫弗的非同尋常的住宿概念時，設計師製作了一系列手繪草圖，以鞏固Sossus巢穴的外觀。
The three-storey guesthouse is completely off-grid and operates off its own supply of water and electricity. Like the nest of a sociable weaver, it swells at different points to form bulbous protrusions.
這棟三層樓的旅館完全沒有電網，並依靠自己的水電供應運營。 就像社交織布工的巢一樣，它在不同的位置膨脹形成球根狀的突起。
Most of the facade is thatched with strands of reed harvested from northern Namibia, supported underneath by a hand-bent steel framework.
Some walls have been built using rough chunks of granite that have been carefully arranged to emulate the bark of camelthorn trees, which populate the surrounding landscape.
大部分的外立面都是茅草，從納米比亞北部收穫的蘆葦串成一束，並由手工彎曲的鋼框架支撐。
一些牆壁是用粗糙的花崗岩砌成的，這些花崗岩經過精心佈置以模仿駱駝樹的樹皮，而樹皮則遍布周圍的景觀。
Walls inside the guesthouse are also thatched, but in some rooms have been set slightly apart from the external shell to allow for the insulation required during the colder months.
Flooring and joinery throughout are crafted from Rhodesian teak wood.
旅館內的牆壁也都是茅草的，但在某些房間中，其牆壁與外殼之間的距離略有不同，以便在較冷的月份進行保溫。
整個地板和細木工均由羅得西亞柚木精製而成。
Hefer worked alongside his wife, Yelda Bayraktar, and creative consultant Maybe Corpaci to decorate the interiors.
The trio opted to have the majority of the furniture built-in, much like components are in a nest, and relied on a handful of striking pieces to “bring in the modernism” – for example, the living area is anchored by a sunken Chesterfield-style sofa upholstered in oxblood-coloured leather.
Hefer與妻子Yelda Bayraktar和創意顧問Maybe Corpaci一起裝飾室內。
這三人選擇將大多數家具內置，就像組件在巢中一樣，並依靠少量醒目的物件來“帶入現代主義” –例如，起居區由沉沒的切斯特菲爾德（Chesterfield）錨定 風格的沙發，採用牛血色皮革裝飾。
Outside, a swimming pool for guests has been created in the same space where there was once a dust bath for zebras.
“The zebras have been known to join guests at the house’s outdoor movie theatre to enjoy the odd movie,” added Hefer, “and surprisingly the local troop of baboons have resorted to observing with interest rather than destroying out of curiosity.”
在室外，在曾經有斑馬除塵浴的同一空間內為客人創建了一個游泳池。
Hefer補充說：“斑馬與旅館的戶外電影院的客人一起欣賞奇異的電影是眾所周知的，而且令人驚訝的是，當地的狒狒部隊求助於觀察而不是出於好奇而破壞。”
Porky Hefer’s self-titled studio has been established since 2011. Prior to that he was running his own creative consultancy, named Animal Farm. The Nest at Sossus is the designer’s first architectural project, and joins a growing number of design-focused spots to stay at in Namibia.
Others include Shipwreck Lodge by Nina Maritz Architects, which comprises 10 rooms that are each meant to resemble ruined boats strewn along the sands of Namibia’s Skeleton Coast.

Porky Hefer的自有工作室自2011年成立以來。在此之前，他經營著自己的創意顧問公司，名為Animal Farm。 Sossus的Nest是設計師的第一個建築項目，並且加入了越來越多以設計為重點的地點，以留在納米比亞。
其他包括Nina Maritz Architects的Shipwreck Lodge，其中包括10個房間，每個房間都像是沿著納米比亞骨架海岸的沙灘散落的毀壞的船隻。
