这个位于越南胡志明市的小小屋占地只有40平米。是a21工作室为自己设计的工作室+住宅。

一日之计在于晨。每天早上保持良好的心情是非常重要的。小房子超脱出周围拥堵和污染的环境，在有限的预算内，为四名员工和几个孩子设计了一个自然通风的惬意小屋。在这个小小的构架之中，绿色不是点缀性的，而是真正的可持续性的融入建筑之中。建筑里有自然，阳光，风，雨，树木，生活。房屋锐角的部分种植着杨桃树，这里格栅式的木地板让阳光照射进建筑最深层，带让风雨畅通无阻。每天早晨，建筑师坐着树木旁边，看着绿叶被撒上清晨柔软的阳光，喝着咖啡，开始一天的工作。

Here is the owner – designer thoughts:

“Every morning, the first thing that I would like to have is drawing first lines in acomfortable and joyful mind. I used to dream of an office-house for not travelling in afrequent traffic-jam and highly polluted place like Hochiminh City. Within a limitedbudget, an unusual small non-square shape plot, just took ten minutes to the citycentral, seems to be the best choice to make the dream come true. The forty squaremeters polygon plot faced to a public ground, with only one and a half meter width infront, located at the end of a lane, surrounded by other neighbour houses’ tall-walls,are big challenges to design an airy office-house for four employees including a couplewith a child. Standing in this small and cramped space at the first time, instead ofreluctantly thinking of green, environmentally sustainable or eco- architecture …, awild-cage, capturing nature, in which sunlight, wind, rain-water, and trees definehuman activities, becomes the inspiration of a21 house. Lighting, intentionallydirected to thread through the interstices of the floor’s wooden sticks that areinstalled side-by-side or in different slot depended on functional space, is led fromthe roof to the ground floor to illuminate the narrowest corners of the house. An open-air space with an averrhoa carambola, located at the acute angle of the house andclosely connected to office area, is not only purposely “squared” the office and bed-room area, but also created an opportunity for sun-light, even water-rain and wind tonaturally blow in. Nowadays, every morning, sitting beside the tree with a cup ofcoffee reflecting glisten leafs in the early morning sun-light, harmonized with softand gentle melody, I think of the next drawings for on-progress projects.”
