平阳的工业发展与糟糕的空气质量、噪音污染、严重的交通拥堵和许多其他问题之间存在着权衡,这些问题强烈影响着生活环境的质量。该建筑工地位于三个大型工业园区中。

There is a trade-off between Binh Duong’s industrial development and its bad air quality, noise pollution, heavy traffic congestion and many other problems, which strongly impacting the quality of living environment. The construction site locates among three large industrial parks.

在这样的背景下,最初的设计方案旨在将这所房子与周围环境隔离开来,只注重改善内部的居住环境质量。然而,这个方案违背了这个三代同堂的家族成员的外向型倾向,他们长期以来与这条小巷的社区有着密切的联系。

Under such general disadvantages coming from the context, at first the initial design plan aims to seclude this house from surroundings, focusing only on improving the inside living environment quality. This solution, however, was against this 3-generation family members’ tendency of extroversion, who have long had a strong connection with this alley’s community.

我们的关键词是 “边界”。竖直的边界勾勒出内部空间和外部空间之间的隔断。而不是原来的想法–完全封闭的直墙、实墙–后来发展成一个半空间,由实空的 “帘子 “墙和内部房间的墙壁限制。这些房间的墙壁作为第二层外墙,加上绿色植物和放在两者之间的楼梯,所有这些都创造了一个过渡性的缓冲区。

Our keyword is “The Boundary”. The vertical boundary outlined the partition between interior space and the outside one. Instead of the original idea about the façade – completely closed as a straight, solid wall – it was later developed into a semi-space limited by a solid-and-void “curtain” wall and inner room’s walls. These room walls work as the second layer of façade, together with greenery and stairs put in between the two, all those have created a transitional buffer zone.

这种组合形成了一个双层结构,最大限度地减少了对环境的不利影响,同时保证了有效的通风、采光,特别是保留了建筑与正面小巷之间的互动。烧制砖,一种具有灵活成型能力的当地材料,被用于外墙的 “幕布”。它的颜色和多孔性的过渡描述了后面空间的隐私程度和意图,根据高度和使用功能进行分级。在顶层,新婚夫妇的私人卧室和需要高度集中的图形艺术家的创意工作空间,内部和外部的互动逐渐减少。

This combination forms a double skin structure, minimizing adverse environmental impacts while ensuring effective ventilation, day-lighting, and especially preserving the interaction between the building and the frontward alley. Fired bricks, a local material with flexibly forming ability, are used for the “curtain” of the facade. Its transition of colour and porosity describes the privacy level and intention of the spaces arranged behind, graded according to height and function of use. Within and out with interaction gradually diminishes by the top floors, where locates the newlyweds’ private bedroom and the graphic artist’s creative workspace requiring highly concentration.

垂直边界是建筑与环境之间的沟通方式,而水平边界则被认为是内部空间之间的沟通方式。通过不同板块所创造的高度的多样性–取代典型的筒子楼中经常出现的连续板块–家庭成员之间的联系将得到提升。这一点,加上环绕房屋的灵活的楼梯系统,将减少对每个功能室的小面积的认识,也创造了整个空间的扫视,帮助人们在4×8米的有限建筑面积内,看到一个更大的整体。

While the vertical boundary is a way of communicating between the building and context, the horizontal one is considered as that among the inner spaces. Through the diversity of height created by different slabs – replacing the continuous ones often found in typical tube houses – family members link would be risen. This, together with flexible stairs system which runs around the house, will reduce the awareness of each function room’s small area, also create a sweeping vision throughout spaces, helping to visualize a larger whole of them – in the limited construction area of 4×8 meters.
