Article source: France Vietnam Architecture D&P named this interesting housing project π House because the whole house looks like from a distance Pi Archimedes constant in geometry. And the biggest inspiration to make the house is Pise Wall. The design concept was inspired by the owner of the house – a French gentleman who has lived and worked in Vietnam for nearly 30 years. He has a deep love and a great passion for Vietnamese traditional art and culture.  Image Courtesy © Hiroyuki Oki

The House is inspired by Trinh Tuong House (Pise Wall), a unique architectural identity of ethnic groups: Mong, Ha Nhi, Tay, Dao Tien,…living in northern mountainous provinces of Vietnam (HaGiang, Lao Cai, Lai Chau, Lang Son, Cao Bang,..). The Pise wall is constructed completely by hand by compressing earth to be an even, flat cubic shape, nonsteel frame but very safe and steady. This ancient construction technique has created the walls with an appealing look in the typical earth-red color. Every inch of the wall was covered by colorized plaster by hand with much effort to render the color of the Pise wall. Rustic brick – a similarity between traditional Vietnamese and French architecture is used to bring a sense of coziness and harmony to art decorations. By creating a new arrangement of rustic bricks, we have brought a modern, elegant, and deluxe beauty to the interior of the house.

The river has witnessed and contributed to the thousands of years history of formation and development of the capital: Thang Long – Dong Do – Hanoi. Taking advantage of the prime location overlooking the Red River and Long Bien Bridge, the house is designed with many large transparent glass windows in French modern architecture, which filled the house with natural light in the daytime and airy in the nighttime. Homeowners can enjoy a view overlooking the Red River without being obstructed when surrounded by a great natural landscape. The ground floor was designed to be a relaxing space for the homeowner with a pool in the front. The 1st floor is an area for joint family activities and receiving guests. The 2nd floor is the private space for each family member. Dispersed throughout the rooms on the 1st floor are the artistic ornaments. The interiors with colorful accents make the space look lively and appealing. The void area from the 1st to the 2nd floor and the great view of the waterfront give the feeling of spaciousness and generosity.
