Contrary to the peaceful outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, the k59 home and atelier was established among high-rise buildings along Huynh Tan Phat Boulevard. Going with the development of the Sai Gon South, many major roads were expanded for residential areas and commercial buildings. The construction environment dominates this area all day and night; the atmosphere here is sometimes hard to breathe. Dust and noise pollution, along with living and working needs, are the main issues we had to deal with when we began building our atelier. Facing the introduction of many new cultures, traditional spaces such as worship, and family activities seem to gradually disappear and no longer exist. A space consists of many opposite elements that can exist in one building.
The picture of the wooden house formed by the frame of the concrete structure is the primary imagination. The cultural activities of families will be the center of the house; we keep tradition at the heart of the modern lifestyle. The importance of cultural sustainability is the key word we always consider. The construction site is located in the ends of two dead alleys, the 1st floor have to be empty that allow the flow of people and air move continuously between two alleys. The house is divided in two parts by a giant atrium in between. The front part of the house is a worship space, an architecture atelier, and a vegetable garden. The back part is the private space that contains bedrooms, toilets, and a laundry area. The sanitary space and laundry are arranged towards the side of the canal, allowing sun and fresh air to come in and step back to the bedroom area. Gaps and open volume are the methods we want to use to link and split space. The flexibility in folding, sliding, and rotating doors and windows helps people connect inside and expand the view of the surrounding landscape. We prefer adaptation and self-change rather than resisting what is happening around us.
Living in a crowded and stuffy city doesn't mean we have to disconnect and close the door. On the contrary, we need flexibility and generosity in design. Instead of long walls or fixed glass, the hollow structure helps the building breathe. This method will be the dialogue between people (culture), nature, and society.
