In the context of dense urban living, where row houses (typically 4x16m or 5x14m) are the prevailing norm, Tan Phu House seeks to address common environmental challenges such as air and noise pollution. Rather than adhering to conventional layouts, the design prioritizes an open living environment tailored to the specific habits of family members. Guided by site conditions—specifically the existing street trees and morning sunlight from the East—the facade incorporates a system of greenery and vines. A concrete louver frame wraps the front elevation and extends to the rooftop, acting as a natural filter for dust and harsh light while regulating ventilation and supporting plant growth.
Internally, the volume is defined by split-level atriums that visually and physically connect the spaces, catering to the lifestyle of a traditional multi-generational Asian family. Public zones extend outward from private rooms to foster interaction among busy family members. The spatial sequence begins with an open kitchen that transitions from the exterior. The grandmother’s resting area is positioned to capture the morning sun and overlook daily household activities, while the central living area acts as a bridge between the vertical public spaces. The children’s study area is designed as an extension of their bedroom for easy parental supervision, and the parents’ bedroom features a front terrace connected to the common area via a large void. A rear void links the utility and laundry terrace to the rooftop, which houses the family altar and a vegetable garden. Ultimately, Tan Phu House is conceived not merely as a form, but as a "living structure" where internal function and user needs dictate the architecture.
