架构师提供的文本描述。在快速城市化的背景下，越南的城市已经远离了低密度热带绿地的起源。新开发的城市地区正在失去与自然的联系。Vo Trong Nghia建筑师(VTN建筑师)的“平房”是“树屋”系列中的一个项目，是一个典型的住宅设计，在高密度街区提供绿色空间。

Text description provided by the architects. Under the rapid urbanization, cities in Vietnam have diverged far from their origins as low density tropical green space. Newly developed urban areas are losing their connection with nature. Binh house by Vo Trong Nghia Architects (VTN Architects) is one project in the "House for Trees" series, a prototypical housing design, providing green space within high density neighbourhood.

 Perspective

这些居民是一个三代人的家庭。因此，所面临的挑战是创造一个空间，让它的居民不顾他们的不同而进行互动和交流。

The Inhabitants is a family of three generations. Therefore, the challenge is to create spaces which allow its residents interact and communicate despite their differences.

位于垂直堆叠空间顶部的花园；以滑动玻璃门为界。这种策略不仅通过在每个房间使用自然通风和日光来改善小气候，而且交替堆叠的开口也增加了家庭成员之间的能见度和相互作用。

Gardens located on top of the vertically stacking spaces; bounded by sliding glass doors. This strategy not only improves the microclimate by using natural ventilation and daylight in every room, but the alternately stacking openings also increase visibility and interaction between the family members.

住宿、就餐、卧室、自习室不断开放。从一个房间，人们的视线可以延伸到其他房间通过花园。

Living, dining, bedrooms, study room are continuously opened. From one room, people's sightlines can reach beyond to the other rooms via the gardens.

厨房、浴室、楼梯和走廊等服务区位于西部，以限制频繁占用地区的热辐射暴露。空间的垂直变化造成一个不平衡的压差。因此，当周围的房屋被建造时，自然通风得到保持。多亏了这些被动的策略，房子在热带气候中总是保持凉爽。空调系统很少使用。

Service areas such as the kitchen, bathrooms, stairs and corridors are located in the west to limit heat radiation exposure towards frequently occupied areas. The vertical variation of spaces creates a lopsided pressure difference. Thus, when the surrounding houses are built, natural ventilation is maintained. Thanks to these passive strategies, the house always stays cool in the tropical climate. Air conditioning system is rarely used.

屋顶花园设有大树遮阳，从而降低室内温度。蔬菜也可以种植，以满足居民的日常需要。这种垂直农业解决方案适用于高密度住房，同时也有助于越南的生活方式。

The roof gardens host large trees for shading, therefore reducing indoor temperature. Vegetables can also be planted to serve its resident's daily needs. This vertical farming solution is suitable for high-density housing whilst also contributing to Vietnamese way of life.

采用天然石材、木材、裸露混凝土等可持续材料与小气候相结合，大大降低了运营和维护成本。到目前为止，居民从未使用过有家具的空调。建筑不仅要满足人们对功能和审美的关注，还可以作为人与人、人与自然联系的一种手段。

Using sustainable materials such as natural stone, wood, exposed concrete combined with the microclimate, this house reduces greatly operational and maintenance cost. Up to date, residents have never used furnished AC. The architecture is not only to meet the functional and aesthetic concerns, but also as a means to connect people to people and people to nature.
