这所房子是一个四口之家,父母和孩子。他们在游戏活动中非常活跃,显然拥有多年来收集的大量东西。项目简介要求对现有的房子进行改造,重点是生活空间,即地面和夹层。

The house is for a family of four, parents, and kids. They are very active in play activities and evidently possess a large collection of stuff collected over the years. The brief calls for a renovation of an existing house, with a strong focus on living spaces, ie, the ground and mezzanine levels.

在参观现场时,我们发现了一个在胡志明市的筒子楼中不常见的空间条件。那就是柱子的存在来调节空间和流通。这对我们来说是一个机会,可以利用这样的条件,并将其融入整体的生活体验。

Upon visiting the site, we have found a spatial condition that is not so commonly found in tube houses in Ho Chi Minh city. That is the presence of columns to regulate spaces and circulation. This was an opportunity for us to utilize such a condition and integrate it into the overall living experiences.

由于房子只有一个正面,我们认为在视觉上把所有的空间组织到正面是很重要的。花园作为一个连接自然的节点,后面是公共空间,如餐厅和厨房。所有的辅助空间都被推到了后面。它们被连接到一个次要的花园,这个花园比较小,存在的目的是为了促进交叉通风。

Since the house only has a front facade, we think it is important to visually organize all the space toward the front. The garden acts as a connection node to nature, follows by communal space such as dining and kitchen. All supporting spaces are pushed over to the back. They are connected to a secondary garden, which is smaller and exists to facilitate cross ventilation.

为了突出上述罕见的空间条件,所有的柱子和夹层楼板在视觉上被分开,以暗示一种漂浮感,并将人们的视线方向引向中央花园。因此,明亮的绿色油漆特征,加上其他俏皮的颜色,用于装修家具、货架系统和自然材料,共同进一步活跃了空间。

To highlight the rare spatial condition said above, all the columns and the mezzanine floor plate are visually separated to suggest a sense of floatiness, and direct one’s direction of views toward the central garden. Hence the bright green paint character, together with other playful colors for the fit-out furniture, shelving system, and natural material, altogether enlivens the space further.

在更深的层次上,房子和它的生活空间是容纳和庇护居民的容器,使他们远离城市的动荡,并逐渐从他们的日常外部生活中解脱出来。每件放置在空间里的物品,都有其专用的无形边界,足以成为一个较小版本的 “庇护所”,逐渐撕掉一个人从外面捡来的迷失方向的一个小方面,用一个家的舒适来取代它们。房子不提供或接受任何东西,它不进行谈判和讨价还价。它只是一个可以存在的地方,而不是其他。

On a deeper level, the house and its living spaces are vessels that house and shelter the inhabitants from the tumultuous nature of the city, and gradually remove them from their daily external life. Each item placed in spaces, with its dedicated invisible boundary, enough to be a smaller version of a “shelter”, gradually shreds off a small aspect of the disorientation one has picked up from outside and replaces them with the comfort of a home. The house does not offer or take anything, it does not negotiate and bargain. It is just a place just to be, and nothing else.
