Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
TRANQUILITY
VILLA
It is such an oppressive industrialized life, the feelings of being "trapped" into the rigid concrete walls, and lacking of natural air and light are common problems of people in big cities.
With the architects who appreciate the quality of life, a modern air conditioning system is not the solution. The solution is in the design style that brings comfort and good health to the place where you return every day.
The house which was designed with simple but elegant details, taking the inspiration from “resort” with natural air and light, is the answer that many people are looking for. Smart scheming do not require large area to help a house keeping its modern lifestyle with sufficient amenities and being close to the nature with a small courtyard and outdoor spaces as well as securing the indispensable privacy.
For utilizing the fresh air from the green garden, the house seems to be widely opened thanks to the sliding to "access" to the closest nature. There is also a place to gather the whole family gathering together after works, or on weekends or holidays.
Modern inspiration in tropical architecture is expressed through three floors with 2.7-meter put out console to shield from the sunny afternoons and minimize the temperature in the house. This is the official language of architectural design that makes the villa a resort in the city.
The white of the walls, deep brown of the wood and the grayof the sofa were combined with white - black from the modern appliances such as television, kitchen cabinet, desk, sink, etc. to bring the absolute harmony between the utility life and the mental relaxation. That "Less is more" Philosophy in design was shown clearly through this house.
