Phong House is located in a suburban village setting where the rhythm of modern life is gradually emerging while the serenity of the countryside still remains. The homeowners, a young family, wished for a dwelling that offers modern comfort yet remains harmoniously connected with its rural surroundings.
Design Concept
The house takes shape with a modern, minimalist form. The architects chose a palette of rustic materials and natural tones, combined with a contemporary interpretation of the pitched tile roof. This approach recalls traditional Vietnamese architecture while ensuring the building blends seamlessly with the surrounding village landscape.
A key design feature is the rotated second floor volume, oriented toward the Southeast to capture prevailing breezes and reduce solar heat gain. This rotation also generates a dynamic and distinctive architectural expression. Correspondingly, the ground floor garden corridor was aligned with the rotated volume above, creating proportional balance and visual harmony for the overall composition.
Spatial Organization
Ground floor: The living, dining, and kitchen areas are organized as a continuous open space. Large sliding glass doors dissolve the boundary between inside and outside, transforming the garden and a shallow natural wading pool into an extension of daily family life.

Second floor: Bedrooms are oriented toward the garden and courtyard, enclosed by vertical wooden louvers. These act as natural sun-shading devices while producing a play of dynamic light and shadow, imbuing the interiors with a contemplative, tranquil atmosphere.

Intermediate spaces: The 30-meter-deep backyard functions as a miniature park. Instead of a traditional reflecting pond, a shallow wading pool was designed as a safe play area for children, while also cooling the microclimate and creating vibrant reflections of sky and light.

Materials & Light
Exposed brick, raw concrete, timber, and reinterpreted roof tiles form the material palette. Natural materials combined with generous openings, skylights, and wooden louvers ensure abundant daylight and ventilation. During the day, louvers and overhangs filter sunlight to produce animated shadow patterns; at night, warm ambient lighting creates a cozy and welcoming atmosphere.
Humanistic & Environmental Values
For the environment: The large garden and wading pool serve as natural climatic solutions, reducing reliance on mechanical cooling.

For the family: The open-plan layout encourages interaction and connection in daily life, in contrast to rigid compartmentalized spaces.

For the community: The pitched roof, wooden louvers, and garden recall traditional Vietnamese architecture, yet reinterpreted in a contemporary language — bridging past and present in a gentle and respectful way.

Conclusion
Phong House represents an architectural approach that is both human-centered and sustainable. It demonstrates how contemporary living can coexist with cultural and environmental context, offering a home that fulfills modern needs while preserving the familiar values that have shaped life across generations.
