架构师提供的文本描述。达卡，一个500平方英里的城市，随着时间的推移，已经成为一个完全城市混乱的地区。在城市绿地总量不超过百分之五的城市里，在地块的背面(西边)得到一个湖泊和一片狭长的绿地是一笔财富。这八口之家位于巴里哈拉外交区的联合国路。土地所有者和开发商之间的一项交易是将七千五百平方英尺的地块平分两块，在每一层建造两座六层建筑，每层面积两千八百平方英尺，以便平分。

Text description provided by the architects. Dhaka, a five-hundred square miles city has over time become an area of complete urban mayhem. Getting a lake and a narrow strip of green patch on the back side (west) of the plot was a fortune in a city where total city green is not more than five percent. This eight family house is located at United Nations Road at the Baridhara Diplomatic Zone. A deal made between the land owner and the developer was to divide the seven thousand five hundred square feet plot in equal two pieces to construct two six-storied buildings of two-thousand-eight-hundred square feet area on each floor in order to share equally.

按照规则，使用75%的地块面积是客户的强烈要求；然而，在设计一个开放的绿地方面，这是一个挑战。这里的设计建议是，以双方四十平方英尺的小面积作为一个好姿态，在两栋楼之间加上八英尺的空隙，按照规定向后放五英尺的路，以便在东路的建筑物前建一个二百平方英尺的绿地和水体。这项安排还附带了无边界墙的概念，并设置了小长椅作为对过路人和社区的尊重。

Utilizing seventy five percent of the plot area as per rule was a strong requirement from the clients; however, it became a challenge in terms of designing an open green space. The design suggestion here was to take forty square feet of small area from both the parties as a good gesture, placing along with eight feet gap between the two buildings and five feet road set back as per rule in order to create a two hundred square feet of a green patch and water body in front of the building on the east road. This arrangement was also accompanied by a no boundary wall notion and little benches were set as a token of respect for the passerby and the community.

这两栋建筑在底层平面图和停车面积以及每栋楼四栋房屋的基本规划方面几乎是相同的。根据功能安排，简单的内部结构将美丽的湖泊和西部的大树连接起来，让东南夏季的微风吹过整个房子，白天周围光线充足。路边的树木，随着他们的成长，其轻盈的枝条，启发了建筑一样，把它变成一个垂直花园。

The two buildings developed were almost identical in terms of the ground floor plans and parking area and the basic plan of four houses per building. The simple interior as required by the functional arrangements that connected the beautiful lake and large trees on the west, allowing the south east summer breeze to flow through the entire house with ample light round the day. The road side trees as they grew up spreading its light branches inspired the building to transform it alike into a vertical garden.

裸露的结构梁和柱外加上陶土砖填充，也是一个简单的方法，友好的亚热带气候达卡。该计划还开发了两个屋顶，作为社区绿地和草坪，雨场(收集雨水)和灌木丛周围的一个小展馆，作为一个转变亚热带建筑词汇，以解决城市“缺乏绿色和开放空间”的关注。

The use of exposed as cast structural beam and column exterior with terracotta brick infill is also a simple approach friendly to the subtropical climate of Dhaka. The scheme also developed the two roof tops of the buildings as community green with lawns, rain court (collects the rain water) and bushes around a small pavilion as a transformed subtropical architectural vocabulary addressing the concern of “shortage of green and open space” in the city.
