Go Vap House
May 18, 2020
H.a workshop renovated a house in the Vietnamese city of Sai Gon transforming it into a relaxing and peaceful place.
This 20-year-old house was built by a father for his wife and young daughter when they moved from the North to the South to start a business. The little girl in the past has grown up, her parents have also aged, their house is increasingly older and damaged. No longer suitable for using needs. So the daughter wanted to renovate the house into a resting place for parents and a part of business rental.
The current situation of the triangular land was an advantage for the design. The facade with horizontal stretches gives priority to the rental function, while reducing the noise and dust of the bustling road ahead. The entrance to the house is nestled next to a small garden, then opened up is a common living space of the family.
The master bedroom, the altar room, the office room are located around the void, where all the limits of vision, emotions, all interactions on or under, inside or outside are broken and then intertwined again.
