在永州市中心，受老挝风（干热的西风）和烈日的影响，我们从永州市最繁忙和最拥挤的街道开始，它充满了车辆的烟尘，我们将转入一条小巷，似乎与许多其他街道一样，挤满了混凝土，高楼大厦，沉默的铁架门，突然，我们将遇到一个新鲜和绿色的空间在我们眼前打开，温柔，质朴和和平的画面，显然是很久以前，在一些农村。

In the center of Vinh City, where is influenced by the Lao wind (hot and dry westerly wind) and burning sun, we start from one busiest and most crowded streets of Vinh city, It filled with smoke and dust by vehicles, we will turn into a small alley that seem looks like many other streets that is packed with concrete, with high – rise building, with silent iron frame doors, suddenly, we will meet a fresh and green space opened up front of our eyes, the gently, rustic and peaceful picture, apparently a long time ago, in some countryside.

深处一条宽度仅有3米的小巷，周围是坚固的高层住宅，7.1×19米的狭窄场地，对我们来说是一个艰难的挑战，但却极具吸引力。那么，是利用整个空间来服务于生活活动，如邻近的筒子楼，还是与他人有所区别？

Located deeply in a small alley with width only 3m, surrounded by solid high- rise houses, the narrow site with scale 7.1x19m, that has become a difficult challenge but extremely attractive with us. So, Should be use whole the space to serve living activities such as the neighboring tube houses, or make a difference with others?

通常，在这个地方，我们会建造一个典型的筒子楼，它的四面墙都是狭窄的，但是，我们创造了一个房子，里面有交替的绿色空间，”房子里的花园 “和 “花园里的房子”。因此，这不仅是一个居住的地方，也是一个宁静、质朴的地方，在繁华的城市中心，我们可以找到乡间的灵魂。这个房子是为一个和母亲一起生活的小儿子设计的。我们采用了一个非常简单的U型空间结构的概念，有三个主要的花园：前院、庭院和屋顶院子。

The name “Coong’s Garden” was created with the thinking different concept, normally, with this site we will build one typical tube house, that has narrow life in 4 walls, but, we created a house with alternating green spaces inside it, “garden in house” – “house inside garden”. So there is not only a place to live, but also a peaceful, rustic place where we can be found soul of countryside in the center of the bustling city. The house is designed for one young son who lives with his mother. We have take concept with a very simple U-shaped space structure with three main gardens: front yard, courtyard and roof yard.

前院区域的新鲜绿色花园所创造的绿色空间，虽然不大，但足以让经过它的脚步慢下来一分钟，呼吸一下突然出现的新鲜空气。这也是一个可以让城市里的孩子们找到与植物相处的小经验的地方，可以天真地玩游戏，而不是通过手机屏幕。在对现有场地的调查中，我们试图说服业主在场地内保留一棵大绿树。因为在我们看来，它是房子的灵魂–大自然的东西。 现在，这棵树将成为院子里小花园的亮点，螺旋形的楼梯拥抱着这棵树，它将连接房子的上院和下院之间的空间。在树叶下行走，感受每一步楼梯的变化，这将是客人参观 “Coong’s garden “时的一种激动人心的体验。

The green space created by the fresh green garden in the front yard area, though it is not large, but it is enough to the footsteps passing it and slow down a minute to breath the sudden fresh air. It also a place for city children can find the little experience with plants, to innocently play games but not through the phone screen. During the survey of existing site, we tried to persuade the owner to keep a large green tree inside the site. Because with our opinion, it is the soul of the house – the nature things. Now, the alone tree will become the highlight of the small garden in the courtyard, with the spiral staircase embracing the tree, It will connect space between the upper yard and the lower yard of the house. Walking under the foliage and feeling the transforming of every stair’s step, that will be an exciting experience for guests when they visit “Coong’s garden”.

使用传统的红瓦屋顶系统，其二维倾斜创造了风的陷阱，使空间景观变得更加多样化。屋顶覆盖创造了内部和外部之间的缓冲过渡，前院-庭院-屋顶院子。同时，瓦片屋顶系统也增加了建筑的可持续性，抵御越南中部恶劣气候的影响。生活空间和室内完全是简约的，以帮助人们最充分地感受自然。我们相信，随着 “Coong’s garden “的出现，小路变得更加温暖，更加欢乐，更加有孩子的笑声。

The use traditional red tile roof system, which 2-dimensional sloping has created traps wind and the space views become more diverse. The roof coverage creates buffers transition between the inside and outside, the front yard – the courtyard – the roof yard. At the same time, the tiled roof system also increases the sustainability of the building that against the impact of the harsh climate of Central Vietnam. Living space and interior are completely minimalistic to help people feel the nature in the fullest way. We believe that, with the appearance of “Coong’s garden”, the small way has become more warm, more joyful and more children’s laughter.
