Architects: MM++ Architects / MIMYA.co Location: Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam Project Architect: My An Pham Thi Built Area: 255 sqm Completion: 2012 Photographs: Nam Bui The house is built on a 8m wide and 22m deep plot in a residential district of Saigon.
Designed for a couple and their 3 young kids, the house is organized in two parts : Gia Lai House / Vo Trong Nghia Architects. I Resort / a21 studio. 3×9 House / a21 studio. Even in Ho Chi Minh, a chaotic and highly density city, a 3 m wide and 9 m deep plot in a narrow street is still considered as a thorny problem for renovating an old house to a more comfortable and functional space.
The house is designed for a middle age woman and her friend, who are inspired by music and beauty of nature. The modesty and cleanliness are the first impressions of the house look. Horizontal louvers embellished with some flowers give distinction but not strange to its exterior in compare with neighbours. The ground floor seems to be larger and tidier because of the combination of living room, dinner, and kitchen without any partitions to define the spaces.
The familiar materials such as bricks and steels are used flexibly to add raw feeling to these man-made spaces. Moreover, nature is delivered into the house by the introduction of a tree right at the entrance. a21house / a21 studio. LAM Café / a21 studio. Vietnam Heats Up: New Developments.

Trangtien Street / Studio 8. Studio 8, a group of young Hanoian architects, designed a competition proposal to transform a street in Hanoi, Vietnam. The project earned third prize and focuses on finding a contemporary solution to bring the street life of Trangtien “to its gracefulness in the near future.” More about the proposal after the break. When Trangtien Street was built by the French over 100 years ago, it was famous for its charm and beauty. A pedestrian friendly atmosphere, the street was part of a luxurious commercial area surrounded by grand theaters and civil headquarters. Yet, as the years progressed, the street lost its attractive ambience as the transformation of street houses and buildings happen spontaneously without being controlled by authority, and vehicles crowd a once pedestrian owned zone. The proposal takes the past conditions into consideration and tries to give the pedestrians back a shared space. Stacking green / Vo Trong Nghia + Daisuke Sanuki + Shunri Nishizawa.
