　　在快速城市化背景下，越南的城市已经不再是低密度热带绿地。新开发的城市地区丢失了与自然的联系。Binh住宅是“树屋”系列项目之一，这是一个典型的在高密度社区内提供绿色空间的住宅设计。

　　Under the rapid urbanization, cities in Vietnam have diverged far from their origins as low density tropical green space. Newly developed urban areas are losing their connection with nature. Binh house is one project in the "House for Trees" series, a prototypical housing design, providing green space within high density neighborhood.

　　这里住了一家三代人。因此，设计挑战在于创造让居民进行跨代际互动交流的空间。

　　The Inhabitants is a family of three generations. Therefore, the challenge is to create spaces which allow its residents interact and communicate despite their differences.

　　花园位于垂直空间的顶部，由滑动玻璃门所包围。这种策略不仅通过自然通风及日光改善了小气候，而且交替的开口也增加了家庭成员之间的互动。

　　Gardens located on top of the vertically stacking spaces; bounded by sliding glass doors. This strategy not only improves the microclimate by using natural ventilation and daylight in every room, but the alternately stacking openings also increase visibility and interaction between the family members.

　　客厅、餐厅、卧室及书房都是连续开放的。在一个房间内，人们的视线穿过花园，延伸到其他房间。

　　Living, dining, bedrooms, study room are continuously opened. From one room, people's sightlines can reach beyond to the other rooms via the gardens.

　　厨房、浴室、楼梯和走廊等服务区域位于西面，以限制频繁使用区域的在阳光下的暴露。空间的垂直变化产生了不平衡的压力差。因此，在建造周围的房屋时，自然通风得以保持。由于这些策略，房子在热带气候中总能保持凉爽，很少用到空调系统。

　　Service areas such as the kitchen, bathrooms, stairs and corridors are located in the west to limit heat radiation exposure towards frequently occupied areas. The vertical variation of spaces creates a lopsided pressure difference. Thus, when the surrounding houses are built, natural ventilation is maintained. Thanks to these passive strategies, the house always stays cool in the tropical climate. Air conditioning system is rarely used.

　　屋顶花园上有大树遮荫来降低室内温度。也可以种植蔬菜来满足日常需求。这种垂直农业方案对高密度住宅来说十分适用，同时也对越南人的生活方式有所帮助。

　　The roof gardens host large trees for shading, therefore reducing indoor temperature. Vegetables can also be planted to serve its resident's daily needs. This vertical farming solution is suitable for high-density housing whilst also contributing to Vietnamese way of life.

　　使用可持续的材料，如天然石材、木材、露石混凝土等，结合小气候，让这所房子大大降低了使用和维护的成本。迄今为止，其中的居民从未使用过空调系统。建筑不仅是为了满足功能和审美上的考虑，也是一种联系人与人、人与自然的方式。

　　Using sustainable materials such as natural stone, wood, exposed concrete combined with the microclimate, this house reduces greatly operational and maintenance cost. Up to date, residents have never used furnished AC. The architecture is not only to meet the functional and aesthetic concerns, but also as a means to connect people to people and people to nature.
