Architect - Na Studio Interior design - Trinh Minh Thao 3D Visualization - Trinh Minh Thao Location - US

The layout of the house is a simple rectangular plan, with 2 long sides facing the neighbours. This will limit the views from every room.

The project focused on bringing natural light to every room.

The underground garden provides light for all basement rooms. The green space can be considered a sun porch for the whole house, as well as creating a yard for internal views. It also cancels the darkness connected to basement construction.

Roof

Level 01

Ground floor

The ground floor is designed for office space, living and dining space. The garage is accessible from the back street. The office is separated from the house to offer the owner a professional working environment, as well as privacy to the other family members during client visits.

The second floor has 3 bedrooms, with 1 master bedroom and walking closet, and 2 bathrooms. On the ground floor, there are 2 more bedrooms with bathrooms, a big family room with bar and a technical room.

Underground

A long window from the basement to the 1st floor draws the view to the internal garden, allowing for natural light ro filter throughout the house.

Floor-to-ceiling windows enhance this light effect.

‘Vinh House’ is a private residence situated in Vinh City, the Middle of Vietnam. The design of this house was conceived primarily in consideration of two key challenges. First, the West side, which is extremely hot and humid. Second, the long and narrow (4x20m) land parcel acquired by the client. In this regard, part of our design ethos is to rely as much as possible on principles of passive cooling and natural ventilation articulated through rigorous understanding of site and climate conditions. Thus, ‘Vinh House’ is designed as a kind of ‘respiration apparatus’, constantly in flux, circulating air through a sequence of 3 interior voids doubling as communal and circulation spaces. As air is tunnelled through the narrow, corridor-like project site, it is pulled into the house from the main entrance and then channelled by the interior voids reaching all parts of the building.

The environmental considerations in this project are also reflected in the material pallet of the house. For instance Cast-in-situ concrete and marble were selected to retain a cool atmosphere in the house

In the climatic context of the 21st century, this house attempts to maximise natural light, fresh air and overall energy efficiency while still incorporating air conditioning systems. These can be compartmentalised or contained throughout the interior spaces by an array of sealable doors and windows.

This is a plot of land in a mountainous area, located between the UAE and Oman borders. Summers are hot and dry, and winters are cool. The owner plans to gradually develop this plot into a countryside home/farm over a periode of 20 years. Ultimately, it will be a countryside vacation home, where the family can gather during pleasant weather periods. Throughout the year it will be used to provide the family in its needs for dairy and fruits.

Our concept gives priority to farm land. The focus lies with providing enough space for growing plants, trees, and animals. We created a real farm environment, with low building density. Therefore, the area for the construction components will be merged together, while still meeting all the demands of the client.

Placing the farm in the middle of the plot provides a nice walking area from the gate at the west side to the center of the plot, which has a square and fountain. This line forms a landscape axis, with zoo-style fencing and a long line of trees. This gives a welcoming and refreshing feel to people walking on the axis towards the villa zone, as well as allowing them to enjoy the farm animals and scenery.

The main issue for a flourishing farm in a dry area will be soil nutrition and water shortage. We would recommend the client to consider applying new technologies for building a green, organic farm with zero waste. For example, our plan provides areas for waste disposal, fertilizer composting, a drip irrigation and fertigation system, and a waste water treatment area.

Using a drip irrigation and fertigation system for home farms and landscaping not only saves a large amount of water, but also saves on labour costs, while providing sufficient water and nutrition for plants and trees.

The project design is aimed at providing modern and smart spaces for tenants to live comfortably in. The simple style and light color scheme make all rooms feel open, clean and bright.

The individual rooms are designed with platform storage bed, study table, book shelf and closet, as well as a cabinet for a TV. In the back of the door is a small shoes cabinet as well as a coat rack.

The kitchen is about 17 m2 large. Minimalist wood cabinets run the length of the room, and there is a long sofa with two tables on the opposite side. This provides ample space for tenants to cook, socialize and study together or individually.

The washing and drying machines are installed in the kitchen, in their own separate cabinets.

Our concept is sublimity of nature - embracing the surroundings, insisting on natural and high tech materials. Transparency creates a space where the family can experience nature more completely and intimately. A strong bond between external and internal spaces is created by infusing nature into the house as a way to create continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.

Vertical forest

In order to preserve and give value to existing architectural elements, we kept the existing “vertical forest”, balcony and cut away roof.to create continuity between indoor and outdoor spaces.

We took architectural elements like wooden louver, both fixed and foldable, for enhancing the existing façade. We also changed the existing spiral stairs into straight stairs to create a more efficient space, and to create more space beside the stairs for nature inside the house.
