TPO - As a renovation project of a 30-year-old house, when realizing that the overall shape of the house was already beautiful, the investor and architect decided to keep the original shape and only repair and change what was necessary, ensuring that the new design was in harmony with the old structure.

The 2-storey house has deteriorated over time (the house is estimated to be about 30 years old) but its structure is quite special, a harmonious combination of wood and concrete, plus a double-layered sloping roof that creates a beautiful skylight.

The owners wanted to change the layout to suit their lifestyle and daily use. Therefore, a multi-purpose room near the entrance of the house was added along with a separate bathroom. On the second floor, three smaller bedrooms were combined into a spacious master bedroom with en-suite bathroom and a smaller but comfortable guest bedroom. With parking available near the property, the existing parking lot in front of the house was converted into a garden.
