Villa-D15 is an old villa located in Phu My Ward, District 7, Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. The house was built in neoclassical architecture, but with time it is gradually degraded, although it has undergone repair and renovation, the house still brings an old feeling, heavy and cumbersome form. .
Therefore, the client come to Space+ with the desire to find a difference for the exterior of the house, limit the impact on the structure as well as have reasonable renovation costs.
After the actual survey, the architect found that in general, the house still has a good structural system, but the front part of the house is not synchronized with many details of the ledge and if there is no regular cleaning, it will be damaged, very easily degraded and dirty, affecting the appearance.
In addition, due to the influence of the temperate Western classical architecture, the windows have no overhang, which is easy to get hot by the sun and may get wet inside by rain.
Regarding the interior, the client requires editing mainly on the ground floor of the living room, the current garage and the kitchen area. The house faces the north, the current status of the living room area, although there is an atrium, but because the main entrance door is quite low, it still brings a feeling of lack of natural light, cramped and no view to the landscape outside.
Architect’s solutions:
Exterior and landscape:
With the goal of bringing contemporary, minimalist architecture, all the classic details and unnecessary decorative moldings are also removed. The shape of the house is almost kept the same, the architect only uses a few methods of cutting, creating a solid hollow array, adding a semicircular arch to recall the architecture of the old house.
The old railing with many winding and damaged details due to rust was also replaced with a new simpler vertical railing.
The finishing material for the exterior wall of the house is mainly used with gray-white spray paint combined with ceramic tiles and rust-painted steel window overhang.
The old window system is kept in place and completely reused, and it is added with steel window overhang, creating cubes and shadows to reduce solar radiation and limit rainy inside.
The house is also added green trees on the façade with soft chrysanthemum bushes hanging down the main door arch like a natural curtain and rows of small shrubs outside the window to help make the house more green, and also reduce dust and contribute to reducing solar radiation impact on the surface of the building.
On the rooftop of the old house, the lack of canopy and condensing unit system not properly arranged make this rooftop area always hot, stuffy and narrow. The architect has proposed to rearrange the technical system to the back of the house, and design a new canopy combined with trees creates a green garden on the top that is perfectly suitable for parties or relax outdoors.
This canopy and garden system also reduces the heat on the floor surface, helping to limit shrinkage causing seepage and keeping the downstairs bedrooms cooler.
The old gate with the heavily carved aluminum door system and the unnecessary fake tile roof gate system has also been removed. Reducing the height of the fence in combination with vertical louvers helps the wind to enter the yard and ensure a full view from the outside of the house to the inside and contrariwise.
In the front yard, a part of the courtyard in front of the tea room is arranged with a koi fish pond to create a natural landscape to help client and all of member in family relax after long workingday or after school, this pond is also a place to create humidity combined with the monsoon to create cool and ventilation for the house on hot days.
Interior:
Furniture items such as sofas, dining tables, chairs, etc... are reused by client to bring a sense of familiarity and nostalgia.
The living room is added with a dome above the old door to enhance natural light into the house, while this wide and high ceiling glass dome also helps users from inside to see the outside scenery.
Under the dome is a steel roof reaching 2.5m like a welcome, the roof is covered with a layer of shielding glass above to make the entrance and exit of the living room more convenient, especially when the weather is rainy, as well as protect the environment main door system made by natural wood to avoid the effects of the weather.
The client has no need to park in the existing garage, so this area is renovated into a relaxing tea space overlooking the koi fish pond and front garden.
Architect Tran Cong Danh (leader architect from Space+) shared:
Villa D15 is an example of a very typical renovated architecture in Vietnam today, where most of the urban areas are having a reality that many houses are built in imitation of the “Neoclassical Architecture” style. The style is popular in Vietnam due to its superficiality and ostentatious form, but this genre in terms of functionality is not suitable for the tropical monsoon climate, does not bring into full the elements about natural lighting and ventilation. In addition, neoclassical architecture also take a lot of initial construction costs and will quickly deteriorate and be unsafe if there is a lack of regular maintenance later.
The house after renovation has a new face, contemporary appearance, adapting to the hot and tropical monsoon climate with a lot of rain and lots of sunshine. The safety of exterior architectural details such as balconies, window overhang systems, railing systems is also enhanced and requires less maintenance.
The green tree on the rooftop, façade, garden and pond helps create a lively ecosystem that brings relaxing moments for client and family, enhances the landscape of the house and contributes to the common green area for urban.
