The challenge in construction is the combination of old and new, traditional and modern materials, creating a completely new space.
Guest bedroom Wide open space welcoming cool air from nature. Guest bedroom Furniture from Gaya and some freelance designers.
Bathroom area The bamboo wooden bench was collected from a small village in Hanoi and slightly repaired.
The starting point for this project comes from the customer’s unique idea of wanting to use a traditional house in Central Vietnam with wooden pillars and wood carving patterns.
The goal of the architects is to transform the house while retaining its inherent special features, changing the necessary details to better suit everyday life.
All decorations and household items are slightly restored and were purchased in Vietnam.
The idea during the assembly process is to create an open space in the original house, then develop a modern structure, bringing natural light into the house.
The house has a modern breath, but is dotted with a few wooden details, showing interaction with the original house.
The external wooden terrace, roof structure combines black steel, wooden pillars and poly carbonate roof, providing a contrast to the old tile style of the house.
Landscaping played an important role in creating this tropical oasis.
The dining table is on the porch, above is a roof with two layers of glass and wood, avoiding rain, sun and direct light.
