We are looking for an architectural form that is familiar with the human being of the society we live in - Vietnam.
We pursue the traditional architectural form - a metaphor about communal house in the village - "Dinh". An architectural form, with a difference in functionality as well as the meaning of "privacy". The functional layers of privacy are set to be enhanced from the garden , ground floor (fitness + exercise), first floor (yoga) to terrace (home). The overall structure of the project is the mix, combining architectural and natural elements, creating a special, impressive building from the external structure to the experience space inside. We are call the structure of convergence, the unity between people and architecture and nature.Through intentionally-established layers of space buffers with direct and indirect zones separating the space into different components: light, materials, transitions, tranquility, heat, environment establishes a “tranquil “, peaceful, and familiar atmosphere of traditional East Asian architecture. Homogeneous materials inside and outside, erasing boundaries, only the subject and the atmosphere surrounding.
