Hoʻopili ʻia i nā puʻu o Hout Bay ʻelua mau waiwai maluhia e hāʻawi i ka pakele hope loa mai ia mea āpau --Villa Maison Noir a me kāna hoanoho hou, ʻo Villa Verte. ʻO kēia mau villa nani o kēia wā, kūkulu ʻia ma ka mauna, e like me kahi home mai kahi home no nā mea kipa a hāʻawi i nā manaʻo ʻokoʻa iki no nā huakaʻi, nā hanana a me nā lā nui. Eia naʻe ke kumumanaʻo laulaha e hoʻouka hou nei i kekahi o nā wahi kiʻi kiʻi nui loa o Cape Town.
Loaʻa nā waiwai e ka duo mana hoʻolālā-a-ʻoihana ʻo Jim Brett (ʻo ka Anthropologie a me West Elm kaulana) a ʻo Ed Gray (nona ka hale kūʻai lako lako home maikaʻi ma Piladelapia ma ka inoa ʻo Bruges Home). Ua hoʻomaka mua ka wahine ʻAmelika i ʻApelika Hema e hoʻouna aku i ka moku ʻApelika Hema i ka US a aloha aku i ka ʻāina. "Aloha mākou i ka poʻe a mākou e launa pū ai, ka moʻomeheu, ka meaʻai a weliweli mākou i ka nani o ka ʻāina," i wehewehe ai ʻo Brett. Hoʻokomo lākou i nā aʻa a loaʻa kahi kūpono ma Hout Bay, kahi o ka ululāʻau polū ma ka ʻaoʻao o ka Mountain Mountain i hoʻomaʻemaʻe ʻia a kahi e noho ai ka puʻupuʻu waiwai nui e noho ana ʻo Villa Maison Noir.
Ke hoʻonui nei i ka inoa hou, ua kūkulu lākou i kahi noho pilikino hou ma kahi waiwai e pili ana, kahi e pili ana iā Villa Maison Noir e nā māla ākea a he wahi neʻe mauna hoʻi ia. E hoʻonui ʻo Villa Verte i ka hui pū ʻana o nā mea maikaʻi a me nā wahi maikaʻi. "Ua hauʻoli maoli mākou i ke kūkulu ʻana i ka mīkini a makemake e hoʻomau i ka hoʻonui ʻana i ka ʻoihana. Ma mua he hale 1970s ma ka waiwai ke kūʻai aku mākou iā ia, a ʻike mākou hiki iā mākou ke kūkulu i kahi mea ʻoi aku ma kona wahi e hoʻopiha iā Villa Maison Noir ma ka puka aʻe, "wahi a Brett.
Hoʻopili ʻia e nā kumulāʻau, e hāʻawi ʻo Villa Verte i ka pae o ke kaila a me ka ʻuhane a Villa Maison Noir e hana ai, i kahi ʻāpana ʻokoʻa iki. "Lana ko mākou manaʻo e hele mai ka poʻe i kēia wahi hoʻokalakupua a manaʻo e like me lākou e noho nei i loko o kahi hale lāʻau, me nā hiʻohiʻona pau ʻole o nā kuahiwi a me nā kūlohelohe a puni lākou," wahi a Gray.
Ma hope o ka manaʻo like o kahi 'kauhale' o nā hale i kūʻē i kahi noho hoʻokahi, ʻelima mau hale kiʻekiʻe o Villa Verte, e hōʻike hou ana i nā mea ʻelima e noho mau nei ma ka home holoʻokoʻa. ʻO ka iwi kuamoʻo o ka hale e like me ke kumu o ka manaʻo pōʻai i loaʻa ma loko o Villa Maison Noir. "Hoʻohana mākou i nā piko a me nā pōʻai i loko o ka waiwai holoʻokoʻa ʻoiai ʻaʻohe mea o ke kūlohelohe i huinahā a i ʻole huinahā, ʻoiai ma kona ʻano cellular loa. ʻOiai nā lako i loaʻa i nā ʻano āpau a me nā kihi i kāwili ʻia. Aloha mākou i nā mea āpau a ka pōʻai e hoʻohālikelike ai: ke kaulike, ka laulima, ka lokahi, ka hoʻomau ʻana a me ka pōʻai o ke ola, "wehewehe ʻo Gray.
"I ka wā i kūʻai mua aku ai iā Villa Maison Noir, ua aloha mākou i ke ala a ka mea kālai kiʻi mua, ʻo Poalo Deliperi, i lawe mai ai i ka manaʻo o ka 'kraal' ʻApelika. Ua paipai ʻo ia i ka mea kāla ʻo Thomas Leach e kōkua iā mākou e hōʻike i ko mākou ʻike no ka Villa Verte hou, "wahi a Gray. Hoʻomaopopo ʻo ia i ka hiki ʻole iā Thomas ke hoʻokokoke i ka papahana me ka mahalo o nā mea e hoʻopuni ana, a me ka hoʻokumu ʻana i kahi mea kū i ka manaʻo o ka hoʻolālā. "He nui nā mea ʻē aʻe e koi i kahi mea e ʻoi loa ana ka mana, akā ua hoʻokele ʻo Thomas e hana i kahi mea maoli maoli, akā e kuhikuhi ana iā Villa Maison Noir," hoʻomau ʻo ia.
Hoʻohui ʻia, e hōʻike ʻo Villa Verte i ka makemake like no ka hoʻolālā a Brett lāua ʻo Gray i hoʻohui ai iā Villa Maison Noir mai ko lāua lilo ʻana i kuleana. "Ua huakaʻi pinepine mākou i ka honua, e ʻimi ana i nā huahana kūʻokoʻa i hiki ke kōkua i ka poʻe e hōʻike i ko lākou ʻano pilikino ma ka home," i ʻōlelo ʻo Brett. “ʻO kou home kou moʻolelo - a ʻae - haʻi ʻia ia ma o ka hoʻolālā a me ka hoʻolālā o loko. akā, ʻo ka mea nui pili i kou ʻuhane e hoʻomālamalama nei. Aia ka hemahema o nā ʻike loea maoli maoli ma nā kumukūʻai kumukūʻai. Manaʻo mākou ʻo kā mākou waiwai ʻelua - nā mea i kū a me nā mea hou - i hui pū ʻia me kā mākou poʻe kupaianaha e hana i kahi ʻike i ka lua like ʻole ma Cape Town. "
Ua wehe ʻo Villa Verte no ka mālama mua ʻana a e hoʻomaka ʻia ma ka 5 Malaki 2020.
