架构师提供的文本描述。这所房子是为一位中年记者设计的，他在越南建筑杂志工作多年。该遗址位于一个新城市的郊区，它是一个城市化的城市，周围有各种各样的住宅建筑风格。因此，建筑师和客户都想出了这样的想法：新房子应该看起来是绿色的，但不妥协于它的舒适，特别是不应该区别于隔壁邻居。

Text description provided by the architects. The house is designed for a middle aged newsman who has been working in years for Vietnam architectural magazines. The site is located at the outskirt of a new city in being urbanism with a variety of housing architecture styles in its surrounding. Therefore, both the architect and client came up with the idea that the new house should be looked green, but not compromise to its comfortable and specially should not much differentiated to next-door neighbours.

在他的预算约束范围内，采用的是轻钢和金属薄板结构，而不是通常的砖块和混凝土结构。此外，废弃但仍处于良好状态的未使用家具被认为是解决房屋大部分问题的适当办法，这不仅降低了建筑成本，而且使房屋具有独特的外观，以及随着年龄增长而来的旧物品的美丽或宁静。

Within his constraint budget, a light structure as steel and metal sheets is applied instead of bricks and concrete as usual. Moreover, unused furniture, abandoned but still in good condition, is considered as an appropriate solution for most parts of the house which not only reduces construction cost but also gives the house a distinctive look, the beauty or serenity of old items that comes with age.

毫无疑问，采用钢结构不仅使地基更轻，而且比正常施工周期更短，同时也节省了成本。房屋框架由90x90个钢柱和30x30根钢梁连接到金属板上，然后由植物覆盖或填充，所以从远处看，房子就像一个绿色的盒子。在这些“冷金属”棒中，自然是自己定义的。

Without any doubt, using steel structure not only makes the foundation lighter, but also helps shorten the construction period than normal, and saving cost as well. The house-frame is made by 90x90 steel columns and 30x30 steel beams connecting to metal sheets, then covered or filled in between by plants, so from a distance look, the house is liked a green box. Among these “cool-metal” bars, the nature is defined itself.

通常情况下，房子分为两个垂直部分：楼上有两间私人卧室，一层是厨房和客厅，没有任何门窗，对大自然开放。这使得内部和外部之间的界限变得模糊。此外，建筑师将居住空间缩小到足够合适，而剩下的则不受控制，试图传达这样一种感觉，即外面的自然环境更大、更近，就像从房子里看到的任何景色一样，树木都能以其全部的美丽被观察到。换句话说，树被用作建筑物的墙，房子将提供树木和人之间的各种联系。

Typically, the house is structured into two vertical parts; two private bedrooms on the upper floor, while kitchen and living room on the ground floor and opened to nature without any door or window. This makes the bounder between inside and outside becomes blurry. Besides, by diminishing living space to just sufficiently fitted and leaves the rest intended uncontrolled, the architect attempts to convey the sense that the natural environment outside is larger and closer, as at any views from the house, the trees can be observed with its full beauty. In the other words, the trees are used as the building’s walls, and the house would provide a variety of links between trees and people.

最后，房屋的概念，在空间组织和结构的灵活使用之上，是一个普遍的低成本建筑的住宅概念，已经引起了越南社会的广泛关注。通过充分利用废弃物品并巧妙地利用足够的空间，人们可以很容易地拥有一个由自然满足的舒适的房子，并以有限的资金满足未来的任何需求。

Finally, the idea of the house, above the organization of spaces and flexibility uses of structure, is about a general housing concept for low cost construction, which has been attracted the attention in Vietnam society. By making the most of abandoned items and using enough spaces for living cleverly, people can easily have a comfortable house fulfilled by nature and flexible for any future needs with a limited fund.
