ℂ𝕒𝕠 𝕏𝕒𝕟𝕙 ℍ𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕓𝕪 ℍ𝔾𝔸𝔸

In Ha Long, Quang Ninh Province, a coastal urban area, stands a house that deviates from the prevailing trend of maximizing construction while neglecting a connection with nature. This distinctive residence seeks to embrace its surroundings, with a focus on exposure to natural elements such as trees and sunlight.

Occupying a trapezoidal plot of 226m2, with an 8m frontage and 25m depth, the design capitalizes on the elongated shape to create a multi-layered living environment that transitions seamlessly from outdoors to indoors.

The site is divided into five sections, each serving a different function. The central areas are dedicated to living spaces, while the remaining space accommodates trees and water surfaces. As a result, the house boasts a continuous flow of space intertwined with foliage. Each living area benefits from open sides that invite the presence of trees and water features.

Between the two main blocks lies a space reserved for stairs, corridors, and water surfaces. This configuration ensures that all areas of the house are exposed to nature and water. Moving from the exterior to the interior, and from bottom to top, residents are greeted by open spaces that facilitate a harmonious connection with nature, trees, and natural light.

Despite its compact size of 2.5 floors, the house incorporates all necessary spaces, including four bedrooms, a worship room, and a laundry area on the top floor. The first floor, comprising communal spaces such as the living room, kitchen, dining room, and restroom, is thoughtfully positioned amidst gardens and a sizable lake, fostering a tranquil atmosphere.

Tailored to accommodate a young family with two children, the house caters to their needs while promoting an environment conducive to family bonding and tree care. The furnishings are selected and arranged with practicality in mind, ensuring the house is well-equipped for daily living. The spatial arrangement encourages interaction among occupants and establishes a strong connection with nature. From any vantage point within the house, one can catch glimpses of fellow residents, trees, and water surfaces, while simultaneously experiencing the refreshing air, soothing sounds, and gentle sunlight.

The predominant materials employed in the construction are red brick and exposed concrete, lending a rustic charm that resonates with the local surroundings. This choice not only aligns with the natural aesthetics of the area but also promotes sustainability, reducing long-term maintenance and operational costs. In architecture, materials play a crucial role in shaping the spatial experience, evoking emotions within individuals, and honoring the beauty of nature and architectural design. Through this project, the aim is to employ simple architectural techniques and locally favored materials to create an emotionally resonant space for people and nature.

Mit Chit House is a 350sqm expansion of an existing house located in the tropical "Suan Phak" district. The new addition was built to provide additional living quarters and a larger common area for a growing family.

The house sits in a well-established compound surrounded by lush fruit gardens that contribute to an aged aesthetic. However, this seclusion inspired the name "Mit Chit," which translates to "close together" and symbolizes the close bond shared by the family members.

The design of Mit Chit House prioritizes preserving the surrounding greenery while ensuring safety. The house is centered around four miniature courtyards that measure 3x3 meters and 3x5 meters. The open spaces, wide halls, and numerous windows allow natural light to permeate the interior, creating a sense of freedom and closeness to nature.

The interior and exterior design contrast, with the exterior showcasing a pleasing and modern geometric manipulation, while the interior exudes simplicity through open spaces and select materials. The combination of these design choices offers unique perspectives from every angle.

Passive Design was utilized to create walls that keep the interior cool while framing the lush shrubbery surrounding the property. Mit Chit House sits on the left side of the property, leaving ample space for a large garden that connects the original and new houses.

The ground floor features a large common area that consists of living and dining rooms, designed with an open plan to foster continuity throughout the house. The vertical space between the ground floor and living room is entirely open, connecting seamlessly with the second-floor den.

The den serves as an intersection between the old and new houses, allowing easy access for family members while also boasting scenic views. The third floor comprises the two siblings' bedrooms, offering private views of the surrounding gardens.

𝔸𝕒𝕣𝕛𝕒𝕧 ℍ𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕓𝕪 𝔻𝕖𝕤𝕚𝕘𝕟 𝕎𝕠𝕣𝕜 𝔾𝕣𝕠𝕦𝕡

The Aarjav Residence is a stunning example of well-designed architecture that is compactly housed in one of the city's residential areas. With a total area of 219 square meters and three open sides, the challenge of building a four-bedroom house, complete with a studio apartment on the top floor, was met with creativity and expertise.

The team at DWG seamlessly blended contemporary aesthetics with functionality to create a living space that is both beautiful and practical.

The house's façade is its defining feature, designed to create an interesting and dynamic appearance.

The use of patterned bricks with thoughtful punctures allows for ample light to flow into the interior while generating visual interest.

The design of the façade was also influenced by the area's climatic conditions, with projections and offsets reducing heat gain inside. The existing trees, including an old mango tree, played a significant role in determining the placement of openings, offering natural shade and a connection to nature.

The interior of the house is equally impressive, with a linear spatial organization that provides visual connectivity between each floor. The double-height volume over the dining space and the riser-free wooden staircase, complete with scenic sea-inspired artwork, are just a few of the eye-catching elements that make this space unique.

The ample amount of natural light from the skylights and the use of approximately 150 plant species both indoors and outdoors bring the outside in, creating a beautiful blend of nature and built environment.

In terms of materials, the use of brick and metal creates a rustic look on the exterior while the interior is finished with wooden and marble accents in a cheerful, warm color palette. The subtle color scheme is meant to make the space appear more spacious and inviting.

Overall, the Aarjav Residence is a harmonious marriage of form and function that showcases the potential of well-designed architecture.

Nhà Tường Vàng is a project that seeks to provide a simple architectural solution while upholding the values of nature and local culture.

Drawing inspiration from the architectural heritage of Hoi An's ancient houses in Da Nang, a city renowned for its preservation of indigenous culture and art, this project caters to local homeowners.

Located in a rapidly urbanizing city, where natural values are being overshadowed by crowded spaces, Nhà Tường Vàng integrates architecture with local influences and the tropical environment to create a harmonious living space for small families.

The design concept revolves around the idea of establishing a strong connection between living spaces and nature, bringing inhabitants closer to the natural world.

Open spaces, porches, and water surfaces act as natural buffers, inviting a sense of calm and tranquility before entering the house. The living area, kitchen, and garden are thoughtfully connected and interactive, encouraging family activities and children's play.

The choice of materials, including tropical gardens, tiled roofs, and yellow walls, pays homage to the architectural imagery deeply ingrained in the indigenous people's consciousness. These elements evoke the distinct charm of Hoi An's houses, characterized by their iconic yellow walls and tiled roofs.

The design approach embraces ambiguity, both in definitions and experiences of space, dimensions, and usage. The spaces are intentionally created to serve multiple functions, providing a neutral backdrop that can be activated and personalized by the users.

The architectural composition blurs boundaries and utilizes homogeneous materials inside and outside, allowing the subject and the surrounding atmosphere to form a cohesive whole.

Each space is carefully calculated and designed to cater to specific activities and purposes. Architecture, as the cover and foundation of human life, holds a special material relationship with its surroundings, shaping and facilitating the unfolding of life itself.

The inclusion of large openings, connecting the sky and the building, symbolizes the humble position of humans within the vastness of nature.

Light is skillfully introduced into the space, creating distinct regions that enhance components such as light, materials, tranquility, and temperature.

This results in an ambiance reminiscent of traditional East Asian housing, where stillness prevails, inviting individuals to introspect and connect with their inner selves.

Serendipity House is a testament to the power of chance and thoughtful design. This extraordinary residence, nestled in a prime urban location, tells a story of serendipity that led a family to their dream home. After a year of relentless searching, they secured the second of two adjacent plots, ultimately proving to be the ideal canvas for their vision.

Situated in the heart of the city, the house sits on a fan-shaped plot along an arterial road. Despite its urban setting, the owners' desire was to recreate the feeling of being in an outdoor paradise, inspired by tropical resorts. The design ingeniously blends indoor and outdoor living, offering privacy and tranquility. Lush vegetation conceals the house from the busy street, with only the sheltered entrance maintaining a connection to the road. The L-shaped layout creates an oasis with a large lawn and a stunning 25-meter-long swimming pool at its center.

The seamless integration of indoor and outdoor spaces is a hallmark of Serendipity House. Glass doors and windows dissolve the boundaries, and corridors are bathed in natural light, surrounded by greenery. The design prioritizes texture and color, and deep eaves shield the facade from the tropical sun, allowing for natural thermal comfort, and minimizing the need for air conditioning.

Purposeful room placement along the two wings of the house minimizes traffic noise, ensuring tranquility. High ceilings and an elegant pitched roof evoke the ambiance of a tropical resort.

Serendipity House stands as a reminder that serendipity is more than just chance; it requires a prepared mind and thoughtful design. It's a story of dreams turned into reality, where the fusion of nature and architecture creates an urban oasis that celebrates the unexpected twists of fate.

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕋𝕣𝕚𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕝𝕖 ℍ𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕓𝕪 ℙ𝕙𝕠𝕟𝕘𝕡𝕙𝕒𝕥 𝕌𝕖𝕒𝕤𝕒𝕟𝕘𝕜𝕙𝕠𝕞𝕤𝕖𝕥

This residence has been carefully designed as a family gathering space, situated in close proximity to Bangkok's metropolitan area, allowing easy access for relatives living nearby. The project began with specific requirements, focusing on simplicity and user-friendliness, particularly catering to the needs of the elderly. The design incorporates two houses with a central courtyard.

The underlying concept revolves around functionality, connectivity, and orientation. Each of the two houses boasts a spacious interior of approximately 400 square meters, featuring interconnected living and dining areas that seamlessly flow onto inviting terraces.

The houses consist of five bedrooms, three bathrooms, two powder rooms, and a central hub - the kitchen. Given the family's passion for cooking and the importance of hosting gatherings, a generously proportioned living, dining, and kitchen space was designed with a six-meter high sloped ceiling. The remaining rooms throughout the house maintain a simple and unpretentious aesthetic.

The architectural expression of the houses reflects this modest yet distinctive approach. The architect opted for a symmetrical triangular roof shape with a 45-degree slope, instilling each house with its unique character. This design element not only contributes to the overall simplicity but also suits the local climate. Locals in the neighborhood have affectionately dubbed the residence "the triangle house" due to its distinctive roof form.

The interior design adopts a minimalist approach, predominantly utilizing a palette of white, grey, and natural white oak. The focus lies on functionality, spatial planning, and zoning arrangements rather than lavish or extravagant design elements.

The triangular shape of the land was considered unfavorable according to feng-shui principles. However, the presence of a natural pond on the property allowed for its enlargement and the subsequent transformation of the land into a more rectangular shape to accommodate the houses. The outdoor area primarily comprises a garden, predominantly featuring edible plants, fruits, and local herbs.

Seamless connectivity between all areas of the houses is of utmost importance, given the presence of two separate structures. The houses are arranged in an "L" and "I" shape configuration, with an inner courtyard and covered walkways that connect them. The shared garage serves as a central access point to each house.

The majority of the rooms offer views of the central courtyard, promoting a sense of unity and connectedness. The living spaces and terraces of both houses face each other, visually linked through large folding glass doors that remain open for most of the day. From the second living area, one can enjoy a serene view of the expansive backyard and pond.

Lastly, the orientation of the houses has been carefully considered to minimize exposure to the west. Service areas are positioned on the western side, while the bedrooms are located on the eastern side. The main living spaces are centrally situated in both houses, adhering to the same orientation principles.

With ample openings throughout, the houses benefit from excellent ventilation, ensuring comfort in all seasons.

𝔼𝕍 ℍ𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕓𝕪 ℍ𝕄ℙ 𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕤

In the vibrant core of Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, a notable architectural endeavor grappled with the complexities of an urban setting characterized by congestion and a scarcity of space.

The site, an unconventional and elongated parcel that curved along a road junction, demanded a meticulous examination and comprehensive data-gathering process from the client. This was essential to harmoniously accommodate a multitude of requirements and functional necessities within the constraints of this distinctive plot.

After extensive study, the decision was made to design an elevated structure to accommodate the site's narrow and elongated dimensions. However, this presented a potential issue of an imposing and oversized front façade. To address this, a portion of the top section of the façade was ingeniously cut at an oblique angle, offering a more human-scale and visually pleasing perspective.

With the building's front facing east, the arrangement of window openings was deliberately designed in a random pattern. This approach effectively limits the entry of natural daylight, reducing excessive heat. The choice of asphalt/bitumen for the façade material serves a dual purpose, as it significantly diminishes solar heat pe*******on (up to 70%) and demands minimal maintenance, ensuring convenience for the client.

The staircase, serving as vertical circulation, not only connects different levels but also acts as a conduit for fresh air and natural light. It remains a non-air-conditioned area, connecting seamlessly with the outdoors.

A substantial sliding door between the staircase and the ground-floor living room provides flexibility. It can be opened for cross ventilation, allowing daylight from the skylight above the stairs to flood the room. Conversely, it can be closed when air conditioning is in use to maintain a cool interior.

The interior design emphasizes light-colored furniture and white oak elements to create a sense of spaciousness and reduce the feeling of crowding. Dark-colored floor tiles further contribute to a comfortable and open ambiance, enhancing the overall living experience.

𝕍ℍ ℍ𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕓𝕪 𝕆𝔻𝔻𝕆 𝕒𝕣𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕤

The VH House in Hanoi, Vietnam, stands as a testament to thoughtful design in the midst of rapid urbanization challenges. Located in the bustling capital, the house aims to provide a serene and harmonious haven for a family of four, despite the limited land area of 4x16 meters.

Inspired by the traditional tube house typology, which typically features a narrow and deep layout with a single facade due to the high cost of land, the VH House merges contemporary architectural elements with traditional design. The design draws from the tube house's open courtyards in the middle, facilitating natural airflow and light, especially suitable for the local subtropical climate.

Reclaiming the land, which was previously utilized as a garden, the VH House prioritizes greenery, introducing a maximum amount of vegetation back into the family's life. The house features a continuous living area, with small exterior and interior green courtyards and open gardens on the roof for growing fruits and vegetables. This greenery not only enhances the family's living environment but also addresses the scarcity of public spaces and green areas in Hanoi.

Despite the narrow parcel, the ground floor of the VH House is designed to be open and airy, creating a sense of spaciousness. Visual divisions in the form of trees and plants replace conventional walls, fostering a connection with nature and contributing to a positive atmosphere within the house.

The design also takes into account the strong family ties in traditional Vietnamese families. Visual connections among all premises encourage interaction among family members, aligning with the cultural importance of shared family events and communal living.

To manage the construction budget, the house utilizes affordable local materials, such as bricks. The design prioritizes natural cross-ventilation, reducing the dependence on air conditioning and minimizing energy consumption.

In essence, the VH House serves as a compelling example of how thoughtful design, blending traditional features with contemporary elements, can address urban challenges and create a harmonious living space in a rapidly evolving city like Hanoi.

𝕋𝕙𝕖 ℍ𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕚𝕟 𝟙𝟡𝟟𝟘 𝕓𝕪 𝔸𝕣𝕔𝕙𝕚𝕥𝕖𝕔𝕥𝕤 ℂ𝕠𝕝𝕝𝕒𝕓𝕠𝕣𝕒𝕥𝕚𝕧𝕖

In the heart of a bustling urban precinct in New Delhi, a remarkable project stands on a modest 100 sqm. plot amidst a cluster of similarly sized residences. While its surroundings exhibit haphazard organic development and a lack of deliberate design.

The House in 1970 emerges as a striking departure from this norm. As a dual-family home, it ingeniously splits into two duplexes of equal design, serving the needs of both families.

The plot, with three sides open yet limited in width at the front and back, demanded a clever solution to introduce a sense of openness and abundant natural light. The floor plan, featuring three bedrooms and an open-ended layout, compelled the individual duplexes to interact internally, converging around a captivating internal courtyard.

Embraced by shared functional spaces on either side, the double-height courtyard becomes the focal point of interaction, with the private areas above overlooking its grandeur.

A cohesive and visually captivating element, a permeable brick envelope gracefully wraps around the entire length of the plot, integrating all functions seamlessly. This wall, characterized by a gradient brickwork weave, allows light and ventilation to permeate throughout the house while maintaining privacy in the bedrooms.

The perforations in the wall vary in size, peaking at the central courtyard and gradually reducing towards the ends, ensuring a consistent stream of natural light and a harmonious blend of indoor and outdoor spaces.

The house exudes a distinct aesthetic, defined by a minimalist palette that highlights the raw beauty of its materials. The structure's distressed concrete and the presence of raw fly-ash brick, veiled behind transparent glass, form the foundation of its design.

Terrazzo, chosen over traditional stone or tiles, creates a unified flooring throughout, interspersed with touches of natural wood and indoor greenery. This homage to the inherent character and timelessness of the materials employed bestows the house with a unique charm.

With an abundance of concrete elements, culminating in the coffered ceiling of the central double-height courtyard, and the prevalent use of natural wood grains, consistent terrazzo, hints of wicker, and transparent glass against the backdrop of a brick jali (lattice), the house proudly celebrates its simple yet elegant palette and design. These elements pay homage to the architectural style of the 1960s and 70s, deeply rooted in Indian tradition and character.

𝕋𝕙𝕖 𝕄𝕠𝕟𝕠𝕝𝕚𝕥𝕙𝕚𝕔 ℍ𝕠𝕦𝕤𝕖 𝕓𝕪 𝕄𝕆𝔻𝕆 𝔻𝕖𝕤𝕚𝕘𝕟𝕤

Set on the periphery of Ahmedabad, this architectural venture was driven by the owner's aspiration to create a residence that effortlessly incorporates open spaces into its structure while embracing the surrounding lush environment. The resulting design manifests as a central courtyard house, elegantly encircled by interconnected spaces interspersed with open-to-sky areas, facilitating a harmonious connection between the heart of the home and the surrounding verdant expanses.

The central courtyard, a sanctuary within the residence, serves as its soul. Here, a comfortable sitting deck and carefully tended plantings coexist, enclosed by a border of warm, loose brown mandana kapci. The court boasts a remote-operated fabricated roof, thoughtfully designed to welcome ample natural light and ventilation during the day.

Upon entry through the arrival court, the vestibule beckons, seamlessly merging with passages that guide inhabitants toward other living spaces. To the left of this vestibule, the tranquil pooja space unfolds, opening up to the charming east garden.

Adjacent to this area lie the drawing and living areas, both thoughtfully designed to grant access to a verandah that leads to the enchanting east garden.

On the right side of the vestibule, one discovers the kitchen in the southeast corner, accompanied by the dining area on its western flank, which graciously extends into a petite outdoor space. A gracefully designed stairway to the first floor resides beside the dining area, while the southern wing plays host to the grandparents' bedroom in the southwest and the parent's room in the southeast, both offering captivating views of the east garden.

The upper floor accommodates the bedrooms for the two sons, seamlessly spilling onto a terrace that overlooks the enchanting east garden. Additionally, it houses a guest bedroom and a child's room, all interconnected via a semi-open passage with captivating views of the central courtyard.

The house exudes a monolithic aura, with its concrete structure and cement-finished walls, elegantly juxtaposed with the warmth of kotah stone flooring.

Wood accents throughout, including wooden ceilings, wall paneling, and reclaimed wood doors and windows, provide a pleasing counterpoint to the concrete, resulting in a harmonious and inviting living environment.
