该情节具有双边特征，一个是面对城市中一个典型的发展和城市化地区的嘈杂和尘土飞扬的街道，另一个是非常靠近运河和西贡动物园，有着丰富的绿色植物。

The plot has a bilateral character, one is facing to a noisy and dusty street in a typical developing and urbanizing area in the city and one is very close to a canal and Saigon Zoo with plenty of greenery.

在这种两重性的背景下，房子的概念是在热带气候下适应两种不同的生活方式：一种现代的、锻炼良好的生活方式，包括空调等机械设备，以及一种自然和传统的生活方式，利用自然采光和通风以及水和绿色植物。

Against a backdrop of this duality of its setting, the concept of the house is to accommodate two different lifestyles in a tropical climate; a modern and well-tempered lifestyle with mechanical equipments such as air-conditioners, and a natural and traditional lifestyle, utilizing natural lighting and ventilation with water and greenery.

这座房子由两个不同的空间交替排列而成。现代生活方式的空间被分成三个浮动卷，由混凝土模板块包裹。这三个空间之间的空间是广泛开放的外部和分配给自然的生活方式，居民享受风，阳光，绿色和水。

The house is composed of two different spaces positioned alternately. Spaces for modern lifestyle are allocated in three floating volumes wrapped by concrete pattern blocks. And the spaces between these three volumes are widely open to the exterior and allocated for the natural lifestyle where the residents enjoy wind, sunlight, green and water.

三卷书来回移动，将自然光带入中间空间，并在每一层创建小花园。体积的底部成为中间空间的天花板。这些表面设计有不同的弯曲形状，为每一个中间空间提供不同的照明效果。

Three volumes are shifted back and forth to bring natural light into the in-between spaces, as well as to create small gardens on each floor. The bottoms of the volumes become the ceilings for the in-between spaces. These surfaces are designed with various curved shapes, providing each in-between space with different lighting effects.

卧室和其他小房间包含在浮动半封闭的卷，以加强安全和隐私。另一方面，开放的中间空间被设计成两个家庭的独立居住空间。

Bedrooms and other small rooms are contained in the floating semi-closed volumes to enhance security and privacy. On the other hand, the open in-between spaces are designed to be independent living spaces for two families.

模板块是由60厘米宽、40厘米高的预浇筑混凝土制成的，过去在越南是一种很流行的遮阳装置，以获得自然通风。它不仅可以防止刺骨的阳光和大雨，而且还能提高隐私和安全性。

Pattern blocks, which used to be a popular shading device in Vietnam to get natural ventilation, are made of pre-cast concrete with 60cm width and 40cm height. It not only prevents the harsh sunlight and heavy rain but also enhances the privacy and the safety.

虽然这座房子看起来与胡志明市传统的联排别墅不同，但所有的建筑解决方案都来自当地的生活方式和智慧。众议院提供了现代热带城市的生态生活方式的解释。这是现代生活和自然生活相互兼容的地方。

While this house looks different from the stereotypical townhouses in Ho Chi Minh City, all the architectural solutions are derived from the local lifestyle and wisdom. The House offers an interpretation of the ecological lifestyle in the modern tropical city. It is where modern and natural life are compatible with each other.
