Cuckoo住宅，越南 / Tropical Space

Cuckoo住宅位于越南岘港，是Tropical Space在2018年为一家四口（父母和两个孩子）设计的一座带有咖啡店的住宅。当地黏土砖作为住宅材料为使用者带来一种熟悉感，建筑的造型让人想起布谷鸟钟。

The Cuckoo House is a house for 4 people (parents and 2 kids) combining with a coffee shop located in Da Nang, Vietnam and designed by Tropical Space in 2018. The project is built by the local clay brick which brings a familiar feeling to the user and has the architectural shape reminding about the Cuckoo Clock.

习惯使然，人们的活动大多数时候都发生在住宅功能空间中。Tropical Space将限定空间的墙壁分隔开，形成吸引人们离开自己房间聚集在一起的缓冲过渡空间。这些缓冲区域可以灵活使用，将住宅室内外联系起来，让家庭活动既私密又开放。同时，这些区域还将柔和的微风引入住宅内部的各个角落，让室内在热带夏季时分也依旧格外凉爽。

Like a habit, most of people’ daily activities usually take place in functional spaces, Tropical Space detaches walls which are used to defined the place and offer the buffer space to urge people leave their rooms and join together. These buffer layers can be used flexibly, connecting the indoor and the outdoor of the house which could make the family activities could be both private and open, Meanwhile, it allows the breeze go through all corners of the house and make it chill in the tropical summer.
