Vietnam architecture studio ROOM+ Design & Build has carried out a dramatic renovation of a small house and shop in Ho Chi Minh City by replacing its walls with glass bricks.

Named Glass-Block Micro House, the small home in Vietnam has been shortlisted for residential rebirth project of the year at Dezeen Awards 2020.

越南建築工作室ROOM + Design&Build對胡志明市的一所小房子和商店進行了大幅度的翻新,用玻璃磚代替了牆壁。

越南的小房子名為玻璃磚塊微型房屋(Glass-Block Micro House),在2020年Dezeen獎中被提名為年度住宅重生項目。

ROOM+ Design & Build renovated the small property that occupies an 18-square-metre plot on a side street in Ho Chi Minh City, to create a shop with a two-storey home above.

To enliven the house and bring light into the small structure, the architecture studio removed the walls on its two street-facing facades and replaced them with glass bricks.

ROOM + Design&Build對位於胡志明市一條小街上佔地18平方米的小型物業進行了翻新,創建了一個上面有兩層房屋的商店。

為了使房屋充滿活力並為小型結構帶來光線,建築工作室拆除了兩個面向街道的外牆的牆壁,並用玻璃磚代替。

“The old house was partly damaged, abandoned and very dark inside,” explained ROOM+ Design & Build founder Vinh Phuc Ta.

“The design brief asked for an affordable and artistic renovation to accommodate the owners’ small leather shop and living space with two bedrooms,” he continued.

“The core design concept of the project is using glass-block, a unique and uncommon material, to replace the old brick facades in combination with space-saving and flexible interior space.”

ROOM + Design&Build創始人Vinh Phuc Ta解釋說:“舊房子部分受損,被遺棄,內部非常黑暗。

他繼續說道:“設計簡介要求對價格進行合理且藝術性的裝修,以容納業主的小型皮具店和設有兩間臥室的起居空間。”

“該項目的核心設計理念是使用玻璃磚(一種獨特而罕見的材料),結合節省空間和靈活的內部空間,來代替舊磚的外牆。”

According to the studio, the translucent glass bricks allow light into the property while giving the inhabitants privacy.

“The translucent glass-block facades with glass windows on the north-east and south-east engage natural light and ventilation without losing the privacy, and also make the building blend with the surroundings during the day,”

“At night, when lights on, the house becomes a magically sparkling lantern in the middle of the neighbourhood.”

根據工作室的說法,半透明的玻璃磚允許光線進入房屋,同時給居民帶來隱私。

“在東北和東南部帶有玻璃窗的半透明玻璃砌塊外牆既能吸收自然光和通風,又不會失去私密性,並且使建築物在白天與周圍環境融為一體,”

“到了晚上,開燈後,房子就變成了居中的神奇的燈籠。”

The building’s ground floor contains a small leather goods shop that will double up as the home’s living space.

It contains glass shelving and white cupboards for the storage and display of leather products as well as a table and chairs. A small kitchen and a toilet are hidden behind opaque glass sliding doors under the stairs.

該建築的底樓設有一間小皮具店,可以兼作房屋的生活空間。

它包含玻璃擱板和白色櫥櫃,用於存儲和展示皮革產品以及桌子和椅子。 樓梯下的不透明玻璃推拉門後隱藏著一個小廚房和一個廁所。

The staircase, which is behind another opaque sliding door, leads up to the first-floor space that contains a bedroom and a toilet and shower room.

Above this, the second floor also contains the master bedroom, which is wrapped with a balcony, and a small bathroom and glass-block shower room.

樓梯位於另一扇不透明的滑動門後面,通向一樓的空間,該空間包含一間臥室以及一個衛生間和淋浴室。

在此之上,第二層還包含主臥室,主臥室被陽台包裹著,還設有一間小浴室和玻璃淋浴房。

“Besides, the smart and flexible floor plans have greatly enhanced the well-being of the owners’ living space in such a tiny house,” said the architect.

“The combination of contemporary and traditional materials in a minimalist approach makes one’s spatial experience seem both freshly new and closely familiar at the same time.”

建築師說:“此外,智能靈活的平面圖極大地改善了業主在這樣一個小房子中的居住空間。”

“現代與傳統材料的結合以極簡主義的方式使人們的空間體驗顯得既新鮮又新奇,同時又十分熟悉。”

Glass Brick Micro House is shortlisted for Dezeen Awards alongside projects including a house in Sydney with an aquaponics system containing edible fish and a home in a former community oven in Portugal.
