This house is located on the outskirts of Hung Yen province. Facing an artery connecting provinces and bordering a local road, the residence stretches on an ideal land area with 8.6m in width and 26,8m in length. Bringing several advantages, this geographical feature, at the same time, presents the architects with certain challenges such as fume, dust and noise from the roads when designing the house. Taking these environmental drawbacks into consideration, we decided to leave the first 11 meters in front of the house for a playground and a parking space, offsetting the adverse impacts created by the above factors on the house. The green of plants and flowers is optimized to put the house back into nature, balancing with the rough look of bricks and concretes and also to immerse the residents in green spaces.
