The location of the project is located in a small alley on Pham Van Dong street, in the center of Tuyen Quang city, Vietnam - a city characterized by peaceful mountain-river scenery and extremely calm living rhythm.
The client came to us with the desire to create a space that connects generations in their large family, on the plot of land opposite their lineage hall - an existing building with typical
traditional Vietnamese wood architecture.
The question that emerged was how architecture could tell a compelling narrative of the contextual elements as well as how the contemporary continues the traditional. We do not want that connection to be tightened only through the external appearance of architecture, but in the architectural space experience itself.
From that starting notion, a transparent volume connecting the lineage hall with the greenery before the plot was created, housed the common living - open spaces of the house. Since then, other functional spaces were arranged around this volume, configuring the 3-compartment space layout of Vietnamese’s ancient house. The 2-storey void extended up from the dining room and the floor-to-ceiling glass wall help capture the full image of the traditional red tile roof as well as the old veranda of the lineage hall.
All those spaces are compressed into a simple white box - an abstract volume that stands contrast to the surrounding in terms of architectural appearance. The old veranda and the main entrance of the building are marked by the method of pushing and pulling surfaces on the north façade.
The building itself is a composition of white, smooth, clean planes that reflect the colors, changes in light and shadow of the surrounding land-urbanscape. As an artifact of nature, the colors, light and darkness of these planes change continuously at different times of the day and eventually create a sense of the man-made and the natural melting in architecture.
