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.
Located in Nha Trang, a sea side city of Vietnam’s south east coast, this vacation villa has a very privileged location.

Ninh Binh is a quiet city 100km south of Hanoi. The buildings here are famous for their luxury, costly in appearance, but do not pay attention to the quality of living space, lack of natural elements, light and trees.
Ninh Binh House is a simple house, with reinforced concrete structure which is very popular in Vietnam, but designed to create a living space different from the surrounding building, and closer to nature.
With Dai Kim house (4x14m), as most of the street houses in Vietnam, the solution of natural light and ventilation is a prerequisite for the design task.
We hope to create a rhythm and flexible space, where people can live in harmony with the sun, natural wind and trees by the closest way in this small plot of land.

Such an area, in the urban district, is ideal for creating a living space for a whole family.
With large panels of glass and rough, hollow brick, the panorama in front of the house with perennial trees of nearly 20m is optimized to achieve a great harmony of colors from leaves (green) and concrete (grey). In addition, a contrast can be clearly seen as the brick wall is vertically built to balance with the horizontally recessed loggia and the courtyard. Interlaced among the vertical and horizontal lines is a big tub of plant at the corner of the loggia on the second floor, which brings balance and sets the facade of the house apart. Therefore, the appeal of the house comes from a perfect blend of inner-outer spaces and the solidity and void in its architecture.
