Dhaka, a five-hundred square miles city has over time become an area of complete urban mayhem. Getting a lake and a narrow strip of green patch on the back side (west) of the plot was a fortune in a city where total city green is not more than five percent. This eight family house is located at United Nations Road at the Baridhara Diplomatic Zone. A deal made between the land owner and the developer was to divide the seven thousand five hundred square feet plot in equal two pieces to construct two six-storied buildings of two-thousand-eight-hundred square feet area on each floor in order to share equally.

达卡，一个五百平方英里的城市，随着时间的流逝，已经变成了一片混乱。这块基地后面的一条小河，一小块绿地对于这个植被覆盖率不足5%的城市来说已成为了一笔财富。这个八人家庭的房子位于Baridhara外交区的联合国大道上。为了公平，地主和开发商之间达成了一项协议，将这个七千五百平方英尺的土地分成两个大小相等的地方来建造两个占地两千平方英尺的六层大楼。

Utilizing seventy five percent of the plot area as per rule was a strong requirement from the clients; however, it became a challenge in terms of designing an open green space. The design suggestion here was to take forty square feet of small area from both the parties as a good gesture, placing along with eight feet gap between the two buildings and five feet road set back as per rule in order to create a two hundred square feet of a green patch and water body in front of the building on the east road. This arrangement was also accompanied by a no boundary wall notion and little benches were set as a token of respect for the passerby and the community.

利用百分之七十的地对顾客来说是有必要的；然而，对于设计一个开放的绿色空间来说是一个挑战。设计建议在两块地方各腾出四十平方英尺的土地，并在两栋建筑中间沿着留8英尺的间隙，在建筑后面留5英尺的道路，以此在东边路段上的建筑物前建出200平方英尺的绿化带和水体。这样的安排就没有了边界墙而增加了为行人和社区考虑的休息椅子。

The two buildings developed were almost identical in terms of the ground floor plans and parking area and the basic plan of four houses per building. The simple interior as required by the functional arrangements that connected the beautiful lake and large trees on the west, allowing the south east summer breeze to flow through the entire house with ample light round the day. The road side trees as they grew up spreading its light branches inspired the building to transform it alike into a vertical garden.

两栋建筑的开发同时包含了底层布局，停车位和每幢4间房屋的大致平面布局。简单的室内布置是为了连接河流与西边树木，并为屋子带来全天充足的通风和采光。沿街的用来分散光线的树木使楼房拥有了垂直花园。

The use of exposed as cast structural beam and column exterior with terracotta brick infill is also a simple approach friendly to the subtropical climate of Dhaka. The scheme also developed the two roof tops of the buildings as community green with lawns, rain court (collects the rain water) and bushes around a small pavilion as a transformed subtropical architectural vocabulary addressing the concern of “shortage of green and open space” in the city.

内部梁和柱的裸露以及外部褐色砖墙的填充迎合了达卡的亚热带气候的特点。这样的布置使屋顶可以作为草坪，展馆周围的雨棚和和灌木是亚热带建筑风格的转型之作，并与“稀少的绿化和开放空间”的城市形象形成对比。
