Appreciation towards H&P Architects for providing the following description:

住宅位于河内郊县，是城市化进程最活跃的地区之一。此次住宅设计旨在为人造社区营造更为贴近自然的居住生活。

The house 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.

▼住宅外貌，exterior view

该住宅的结构好似洞穴。两个砖墙结构相互嵌套，并在内部形成一个恰当的间距，为住宅内的植被绿化提供了绝佳场所。住宅所采用的砖全部来自于越南当地，是当地房屋建造工程中最广泛应用的手工原料。双层外立面设计良好的阻隔了西晒光照，尘土和噪音等诸多不利的自然因素，同时将自然光照，雨水和风等有利条件带入居住生活空间里。其中，最外侧的建筑外墙以不同角度的对角线向内倾斜，打造了良好的视觉效果。于此同时，倾斜的立面能让居住者更加直观的感受到时间与光影，空气与环境的缓慢变化。

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.

住宅内部一系列连续且不规则连接的空间，让居住环境在开放与私密之间恣意转换，形成有趣的空间序列。空间的开放与闭合之间，让居住生活在内外环境以及私密与开放中交替，住宅与街道的界限变得模糊，自然环境与人为环境也不再界限分明 。

Brick Cave 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.

通过在住宅内设置角落的庭院，仰望的天空，边侧的花园以及狭窄的小径，设计师希望用这些零散的碎片来唤起居住者既熟悉又陌生的生活记忆。在越南北部的热带季风气候中，此次建造不失为一次颇具实验性的尝试。和谐开放，安全舒适的居住环境，为居住者带来了前所未有的趣味性体验。

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.
