The two-story structure surrounded by neighboring buildings ingeniously maximizes its limited footprint.
Its design prioritizes openness, with interconnected living spaces that ensure ease of movement for its residents. The unique building also blends natural lighting, ventilation, and privacy to enhance the quality of everyday life.
Aptly named “Nha que” (Country House), the building comprises two L-shaped blocks of different sloping heights. The interior is cleverly divided into a shared living space and private bedrooms.
The home includes courtyard on the first floor, creating an inviting outdoor space that serves as the heart of the house.
The integration of indoor and outdoor spaces is prevalent. Partitions between different areas are carefully constructed to create a continuous landscape spanning through the home’s three yards: front, middle, and back.
The thoughtful arrangement allows for natural light and enhances wind flow throughout the entire structure, which also saves energy.
Echoing the charm of rural dwellings, the familiar image of a well is recreated in the central courtyard.
The construction materials used for this wonder of the urban landscape – concrete, bricks, wood, and glass – were all sourced locally, embodying sustainability and simplicity.
The stacked brick walls showcase the inherent beauty of the material while also creating a visually striking effect when light passes through.
The minimalist interior, complemented by a modern lighting system, enhances convenience and comfort for the homeowners.
