This wonderful Vietnamese home is open to benefit from the nice weather

Ho Chi Minh City-based Nishizawa Architects has created a surprising multifamily home that’s built to resist and adapt to the natural climate.

To ensure an airy, naturally lit interior, the architects decided to desert solid partitions and install movable partitions that create a peaceful harmony between the living space and the environment.

Located in Chau Doc, a border town about seven hours from Ho Chi Minh City, the home was built for 3 families. The interior of the home was designed to supply each family with privacy, without sacrificing a pleasing living environment.

The frame of the home is manufactured from local wood set in concrete columns. The architects decided to top the home with three butterfly roofs at different heights to create an open, spacious interior.

The windows and partitions are manufactured from thin corrugated iron panels that may be opened to let the optimal amount of natural sunlight and ventilation into the home.

These natural elements help preserve the varied green areas found throughout the residence. The house also offers stunning views of the vast rice fields in the space.
