A tour of the house
The two-story 200 square meter residence is situated on a 2,000 square-meter plot encircled by lush greenery. It consists of four spacious bedrooms, four bathrooms, and a common living area.
The structure features a distinctive, red-tiled roof, paying homage to traditional Vietnamese architecture.
Red tiles, a hallmark of traditional homes, are known for their exceptional durability. They serve as a sturdy defense against the severe weather conditions often experienced in the north of Vietnam.
The house comprises two main wings connected by walkways and staircases. The open roof system artfully creates a natural ventilation system via the airy garden at the heart of the home.
Viewed from the ground, the open roof design serves both form and function.
It invites abundant natural light and fresh air, which are critical for photosynthesis and plant growth, allowing for a thriving green ecosystem within the building.
The central garden casts cool shade over the verandas, creating a serene retreat where the homeowners can relax and connect with family members.
The outdoor yard features a Japanese-style garden, adorned with a variety of flowers and fruit trees.
The garden, accompanied by a fish pond, adds a delightful touch to the lush expanse of the property.
The front wing houses the common open-design living space, where the living room, kitchen, and dining room seamlessly connect.
The open living room enjoys ample natural light and ventilation thanks to its proximity to both the front and central gardens.
Next to a slim brick wall, a bright-colored staircase connects the two sections of the house, creating a juxtaposition with the home’s dark wooden doors.
Four spacious bedrooms are located in the rear wing, along with generous bathroom areas.
Each bedroom is bathed in natural light that comes from windows facing the central garden.
Sunlight passes through window blinds and patterned ventilation tiles, creating beautiful shadows on the floor.
The spacious bathroom features distinct dry and wet zones, complemented by windows that invite natural light and promote air circulation.
