The house is like a peaceful meditation retreat.

TPO - The homeowners desired a peaceful and tranquil haven, away from the hustle and bustle of the city. The architect designed their house with the idea of ​​a home meditation center, where they could find peace and contemplation wherever they were.

The house is located in a small alley in Ho Chi Minh City. The architect designed it to be limitless. No matter where the homeowner is standing or walking, they can observe the other areas; everyone can catch glimpses of each other, hear each other, call out to each other, and think about each other...

Despite its narrow width, the architect still allocated a significant amount of space for a front yard with a striking and airy facade made of perforated bricks. Combined with the tall, green bamboo grove outside, this creates a rare open-air space right in front of the house.

The interior is designed with open spaces and staggered levels, making the space feel more airy and spacious. The skylight serves to bring light and air down to the lower floors. Through the skylight, sunlight streams across the high walls during the day, creating an interesting movement of time.

The house was constructed using a prefabricated method; only the surrounding walls were built, while the rest was a story of interconnected wood, iron, plasterboard, and other materials.

The materials used are rustic and natural: unburnt bricks for the ceiling, wood only treated with protective oil, unpainted cemboard, iron retaining its natural metallic color,... This reflects a concept of authenticity: "Everything should be as it is, in its true nature!"
