Appreciations towards Golany Architects for providing the following description:

这栋面积只有45平米的小房子位于以色列的耶路撒冷。由Golany建筑设计事务所设计。房子场地非常狭小，因此建筑师决定将两颗大树并入房屋规划。这个大胆的决定让房子与众不同。房屋采用回收的集装箱制成，保温系统以及装饰系统都在场外预置完成，在场地上只需要做安装的工作。现场完成后，这无疑是一件值得称道的作品。预置的方法节约时间和成本，并且保护现场树木。当地的建筑一般是沉重的砖石结构，这会破坏树木。大树给予这所房子的不仅仅是特别，大树还能有效的调节微气候，让房屋凉爽。建筑的设计并没有阻碍大树的继续生长，在这个可持续发展，与自然关系亲密的小屋中，形成了一个共生体系的典范。

Subjects the project addresses: recycling,  shipping containers, sustainability, small residences, living in close relationship with nature, etc.

Two-Tree House was designed by Tel-Aviv based practice Golany Architects. The house isconstructed among mature Jerusalem pine trees. Two of the trees have grown in the exactplace where the house was to be located. The site was tight, and this led to the decision tointegrate the two trees within the perimeter of the house. Preserving and rendering themature trees as part of the house required attention and care. It was a daring decision thatresulted in a house with a special ambiance.

The house, which now appears to have grown there, actually began as a recycled shippingcontainer. It was constructed by applying prefabrication wherever possible, with all theinterior finishes, insulation and structure completed off-site. It was brought to the sitefully prepared to serve as a dwelling. The timber cladding, light roof over steel ceiling,stone work, and decks were designed in advance, and were complimented by works on site,after the house was inhabited.

Prefabrication was chosen to achieve the tight timeframe and budget, but also as part of thestrategy to preserve the trees. With the local construction practice, which is typicallyheavy masonry construction, it would be impossible to save and preserve the trees.

The pines not only lend desirability to this unique house but also serve as a natural sourceof air-conditioning. Their shade also protects the timber from the harsh sun.

The pine trees were examined as part of the design process. Their continued growth ismonitored and responded to, which results in a house that is a living structure.
