Duy-Minh, Tai Ngo, Nhuquynh
Builder: Tuấn Anh Phạm & team
Client: Mr. Duy
Area: approx 50 m²
Year completed: 2026
Category: Renovation
Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam
Photographs: scale50
The project is rooted in observing how urban dwellers continuously negotiate domestic space. Within the dense urban fabric of Ho Chi Minh City, the townhouse is rarely a finished object. Instead, it is constantly reshaped through incremental interventions over time: rooftops become storage and laundry area, balconies become gardens, and every residual space is repeatedly reinterpreted, repaired, extended and adapted in response to the evolving rhythms of family life.
Rather than maximizing floor area or prescribing fixed functions, the project understands architecture as a participant in the ongoing evolution of the house. The value of architecture lies in its capacity to remain adaptable—to accommodate changing patterns of living while preserving meaningful relationships between people, light, wind and everyday objects. As the boundaries between living and working become increasingly fluid, domestic space is allowed to evolve rather than conform to predetermined programs.
The intervention employs a double-roof system, a lightweight steel structure and AAC (autoclaved aerated concrete) bricks not merely as technical solutions, but as architectural strategies that support this logic of adaptation. Beyond improving thermal performance, these lightweight construction methods minimize additional loads on the existing structure, allowing the new workspace to emerge through a careful and reversible intervention rather than the replacement of what already exists.
Although modest in scale, the project reflects broader transformations brought about by urbanization and shifting patterns of everyday life.
