面积为3.6mx16m的TamHouse项目位于河内市中心的一条小巷子里，是越南城市地区常见的典型地块。设计任务是一个三代同堂的房子，因此订单是在节假日为大家庭提供一个生活空间，但在家庭有新成员时仍要保证隐私。
Project TamHouse with an area of 3.6mx16m is located on a small alley in the heart of Hanoi, a typical land parcel commonly found in the urban area of Vietnam. The design task was a house with 3 generations living together, so the order is to have a living space for the big family on holidays, yet still ensure privacy when the family has new members.
这是亚洲文化中常见的家庭结构模式，叫做 “四世同堂”。回到任务上来，在宽度相当有限，老人交通不便的情况下，主要的交通轴线、电梯和天窗楼梯被放在了房子的末端，每层都增加了独立的功能。
This is a model of family structure commonly seen in Asia’s culture called “Four generations under the same roof”. Returning to the task, with a fairly limited area in terms of narrow width and difficult traffic for the elderly, the main traffic axis, the elevator, and the skylight staircase were put towards the end of the house, and each floor was added separate functions.
由于土地面积狭窄，层高有限，且位于小巷中，为了获得一个开放的绿化优先空间，我们没有开一个大的中庭，而是在房子的末端开了一个小的天窗，让空气循环，为路口和外墙创造一个视觉效果。
With a narrow land area, limited floor height and located in a small alley, in order to get an open priority space for greenery, instead of opening a large atrium, we created a small skylight to circulate air at the end of the house and create a visual effect for the intersection and the facade.
利用安静的小巷，我们利用室外空间与室内相连接，创造了内外沟通，同时也扩大了房屋空间。中庭和外部空间通过一个镂空的钢桥以及入口上方的屋顶连接起来。这也是一个观景台，坐在这里我们可以和院子里生长的树木互动。我们选择了一棵桂花树，这是一种有香味的珍贵树木，生长得特别慢。仅仅使用一棵树，对我们来说，就像看一盘 “时空 “磁带，记录了与这所房子相关的几代人的旅程。这就是我们在设计中包含的 “接触点 “的概念。
Taking advantage of the quiet alley, we have exploited the outdoor space to connect with the indoors, creating communication in and out as well as expanding the house space. The atrium and the outside space are connected by a cut-out steel bridge as well as a roof above the entrance. It is also a viewpoint, sitting here we can interact with the trees growing in the yard. We choose an osmanthus fragran, a precious tree with fragrant flowers, that grows especially slowly. Using just a tree alone, to us, is like watching a “space-time” tape recording the journey of generations associated with this house. That is the concept of “touch point” that we include in the design.
上层的所有树木都被用作房屋的外皮，根据实心和空心过渡的数学规律，与建筑表面相结合，贯穿房屋的立面，创造出一种美感，并带来隐私。顶层被设计成一个两居室的多功能公寓，供一个核心家庭（由两个父母和他们的一至两个孩子组成的社会单位）使用。
All trees on the upper floors are used as the outer skin of the house, which was combined with architectural surface based on the mathematical law of solid and hollow transitions through the house’s façade, creating an aesthetic feel and bringing privacy. The top floor is designed as a two-bedroom multipurpose apartment for a nuclear family (a social unit of two parents and their one to two children).
有了以上的组织结构，房子时间的推移会像重组模型一样，家庭成员通过几代人的时间来往。这个方案将改善业主的生活环境，表达时空人的 “接触点 “概念。
With the above organizational structure, the house time by time will be like a restructuring model, family members come and go through generations. This solution will improve the living environment for the owners and express the “touch point” concept of space-time people.
