AN BANG VILLA – INSPIRED BY A VIBRANT HOI AN
Hoi An, once a major international trading port, has long been a place of cultural exchange between Vietnamese, Japanese, Chinese, and European communities. Recognized by UNESCO as a well-preserved example of this layered history, the city is characterized by tiled roofs, yellow façades, and a dense urban fabric shaped by both commerce and everyday life. These spatial and cultural qualities continue to define its identity and atmosphere.
The owner of An Bang Villa—an expatriate who has lived and worked in Hoi An for many years with his Vietnamese wife—developed a strong connection to this context. The project is therefore conceived not only as a residence, but also as a place that accommodates memory, lifestyle, and a long-term relationship with the site.
Located in Cam An Ward to the east of Hoi An, the An Bang site is a narrow strip of land positioned between the East Sea and the De Vong River, and connected to the historic town center by a network of bridges. These geography characteristics informed the spatial organization of the project. The house is divided into two separate volumes to reduce overall mass and improve natural ventilation. The two volumes are arranged to optimize prevailing breezes and capture views toward the sea.
A linear swimming pool is placed between the two volumes, acting as a microclimate buffer that cools the central area—the main zone of daily activity. Above the water, a wooden bridge connects the upper levels, linking the two volumes while maintaining visual and spatial continuity with the shared spaces below. The surrounding garden is maximized to reinforce the relationship between architecture and landscape, while the overall composition reflects the site’s elongated geography.
Circulation within the house is designed as a sequence of spatial experiences. Movement through the project reveals shifting perspectives, recalling the layered and episodic qualities of Hoi An’s urban fabric—where narrow passages, courtyards, water, and light create a continuous variation of space. Verandas play a key role in this system: beyond functioning as buffers against sun and rain, they extend the living areas and are regularly used for daily activities such as working, resting, or informal gatherings.
Material and color strategies draw from local references while reflecting the owner’s personal preferences. Yellow tones, traditional proportions, and roof compositions are reinterpreted alongside a palette of wood, tiles, ceramics, and handcrafted elements. These choices contribute to a spatial atmosphere that responds to the region’s climate—where long rainy seasons and diffused light conditions require a balance between openness and warmth.
Interior spaces are organized to maintain visual continuity with the garden. The main living area, oriented toward the pool, is conceived as a double-height volume integrating kitchen and bar functions, allowing flexibility for both daily use and social gatherings. This central space supports a range of activities, from hosting guests to more informal family interactions.
An Bang Villa absorbs the spirit of local culture and ways of living, transforming them into a space that is more personal, more private, and more contemporary. It is a modern project that still carries the identity of its place—where the new does not erase the old, but blends with it to create a vibrant and distinctive character.
