　　在快速城市化背景下，越南的城市已經不再是低密度熱帶綠地。新開發的城市地區丟失了與自然的聯系。Binh住宅是“樹屋”系列項目之一，這是一個典型的在高密度社區內提供綠色空間的住宅設計。

　　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.

　　這里住了一家三代人。因此，設計挑戰在于創造讓居民進行跨代際互動交流的空間。

　　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.

　　花園位于垂直空間的頂部，由滑動玻璃門所包圍。這種策略不僅通過自然通風及日光改善了小氣候，而且交替的開口也增加了家庭成員之間的互動。

　　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.

　　客廳、餐廳、臥室及書房都是連續開放的。在一個房間內，人們的視線穿過花園，延伸到其他房間。

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

　　廚房、浴室、樓梯和走廊等服務區域位于西面，以限制頻繁使用區域的在陽光下的暴露。空間的垂直變化產生了不平衡的壓力差。因此，在建造周圍的房屋時，自然通風得以保持。由于這些策略，房子在熱帶氣候中總能保持涼爽，很少用到空調系統。

　　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.

　　屋頂花園上有大樹遮蔭來降低室內溫度。也可以種植蔬菜來滿足日常需求。這種垂直農業方案對高密度住宅來說十分適用，同時也對越南人的生活方式有所幫助。

　　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.

　　使用可持續的材料，如天然石材、木材、露石混凝土等，結合小氣候，讓這所房子大大降低了使用和維護的成本。迄今為止，其中的居民從未使用過空調系統。建筑不僅是為了滿足功能和審美上的考慮，也是一種聯系人與人、人與自然的方式。

　　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.
