Tiam位于顺化市中心的十字路口附近，是由一栋有18年历史的老房子翻新而成的，这栋房子的状况真的很糟糕。总建筑面积只有35平方米，这是一个七口之家的三代人的生活空间。
Located near the crossroad in the center of Hue city, Tiam was renovated from an 18-year-old house, which was in really bad condition. With a gross built area of only 35 m2, this is the living space for a three-generation family of seven members.
我们花时间讨论和了解业主的基本需求，将Tiam设计成一个更好的生活标准，并为房子的每个成员提供宝贵的经验。它有三层楼，一个阁楼，阳台和露台。
Spending time talking and understanding the essential needs of the owner, we designed Tiam in a way to give a better standard of living along with valuable experiences for each and all members of the house. It has three floors, one attic, balcony, and terrace.
一楼是咖啡馆，由业主经营，其余部分用于居住。覆盖房屋的垂直百叶窗和玻璃墙就像 “内部和外部 “之间的模糊隔断，使房屋内的人更接近自然和街道上的其他人。
The first floor is for the café, which is run by the owner, and the rest of the building is for living. The vertical louvers and glass walls covering the house are like a vague partition between “in and out”, bringing people inside the house closer to nature and to other people in the streets.
百叶窗不仅有助于减少热辐射，还创造了光效应和几何韵律，增强了人们每次从内部和外部观看时的感受。
The louvers not only help reduce heat radiation but also create light effects and geometrical rhythm, which enhance people’s feelings every time watching, both from inside and outside.
对于这样一个有限的建筑面积，有效的解决方案是将室内的设计尽可能地减少，并创造连续和开放的空间。我们创造功能区并放置物品，以使家庭成员之间的关系更加密切，但必要时仍能拥有自己的私人空间。
The effective solution for such a limited built area is to design the interior as minimal as possible and to create continuous and open spaces. We create functional zones and place objects in order to bring members of the family closer to each other, but still be able to have their private spaces if necessary.
旧的和无效的旋转楼梯已被直的楼梯所取代，这有助于优化空间和实现更好的流通。房子里的家具大多由竹子制成，这是一种可持续的环保材料。它拥有一些突出的特点，适合在顺化的极端气候下使用。
The old and ineffective spiral staircase has been replaced by the straight one, which helps optimize spaces and achieve better circulation. Furniture in the house is mostly made of bamboo, which is a sustainable and environment-friendly material. It owns some outstanding characteristics that are suitable for use in extreme climates in Hue.
一楼的咖啡馆的设计元素和材料与房子的其他部分相同。长长的弧形桌子，细长而透明的椅子放在这样一个最小的单色空间里，使得所有其他的彩色物体都很引人注目。此外，人们在咖啡馆里喝酒和聊天的样子使它成为一个活泼而美丽的场景。
The café on the first floor was designed with the same elements and materials as the rest of the house. Long curved tables, slim and transparent chairs placed in such a minimal and monochrome space make all other colorful objects noticeable. Moreover, the appearance of people drinking and chatting in the café makes it a lively and beautiful scene.
建筑物的每个角落都有不同大小的植物盆景。在百叶窗、阳台、露台和屋内的植物盆栽创造了一种平静和愉快的气氛。虽然Tiam位于拥挤的十字路口附近，但所有家庭成员仍然感到与自然亲近，拥有这样一个宁静的生活空间。
Plant pots of different sizes are found in every corner of the building. Plant pots on the louvers, balcony, terrace, and inside the house create a calm and pleasant atmosphere. Although Tiam is located near a crowded crossroad, all family members still feel close to nature and have such a peaceful living space.
