A common space in the middle of a house with eight blocks encourages common activities and bonding in a family in Saigon's Hoc Mon District.

Located on a 1,000-square-meter plot in the suburb of Ho Chi Minh City, the house, home to a three-generation family, encourages the connection of people with each other and with nature through the living spaces.

Private room in box blocks are separated from each other to create more gaps and air convection to every corner of the house. Apart from the common garden, these blocks also face small gardens at their back.

To create more space and rooms, architects created two-story blocks that penetrate the sloping roof. This makes the house looks like a one-story construction, which is in harmony with its neighborhood.
