The Brick Cave house by H-P Architects is located in a suburban commune of Hanoi which has undergone a rapid process of urbanization. It is designed in a philosophy that it will help shape a place similar to the natural environment in an artificial manner. The proposed structure of the house resembles that of a Cave. The overall structure is made up of and enclosed by two layers of brick wall meeting one another at an intersection, with alternate ‘green’ arrangements of plants and vegetables. Bricks have long been a familiar local material and widely used in rural areas of Vietnam with a simple manual construction method.

The two built-in layers of wall function as a filter to eliminate the adverse aspects of the external environment (sunshine from the west, dust, noise) and bring nature (light, rain, wind) to where necessary inside. Above the outer wall is tilted inward in different diagonals to create better viewing angles for the general landscape of the area. This, at the same time, helps users in various corners inside the house sense Time and Weather through shadow and air.

这两层内置的墙起到过滤的作用，消除外部环境的不利方面(来自西方的阳光、灰尘、噪音)，并在必要时将自然(光、雨、风)带入室内。在外墙上方，不同对角线向内倾斜，为该地区的总体景观创造更好的视角。这，同时，帮助用户在房子内的各个角落感知时间和天气通过阴影和空气。

Brick Cave house encompasses a chain of space interconnected one another with random apertures gradually shifting from openness/publicity to closeness/privacy and vice versa. The combination of “close” and “open” creates diverse relations with the surroundings and thus helps blur the boundaries between in and out, houses and streets/alleys, Human and Nature.

砖洞屋包括一系列相互连接的空间，随机孔洞逐渐从开放/公开转向封闭/隐私，反之亦然。“封闭”和“开放”的结合创造了与周围环境不同的关系，从而有助于模糊进出、房屋和街道/小巷、人和自然之间的界限。

Brick Cave reminds its users of emotional pieces of both strangeness and familiarity by offering them images of corners of a yard, expanses of the sky, strips of a garden, and parts of an alley… which is tentative to uses of space at different times in a typical tropical monsoon climate of the North of Vietnam. This, therefore, truly brings to users an interesting and enjoyable experience as they are accommodated in a sense of a large open space harmonized with a comfort of a safe shelter.

砖洞通过提供庭院角、天空的广袤部分、花园的条状和小巷…的部分图像，提醒使用者奇异和熟悉的情感片段。在越南北部典型的热带季风气候中，尝试在不同时间利用空间。因此，这确实给用户带来了一种有趣和愉快的体验，因为他们被安置在一个大的开放空间的意义上，与一个安全住所的舒适性相协调。
