The house is located near the end of a small alley in Tan Phu District, HCMC. Ho Chi Minh.

The house has an area of about 76m2.

Previously, it was an old grade 4 house, no longer enough living space for a family of 4.

Therefore, at the end of 2018, the landlord decided to renovate and upgrade it to make it a new and more spacious place to live.

However, with limited funding, homeowners want to try to take advantage of the old house as much as possible. Therefore, the architects decided to keep the entire wall, purlin, corrugated iron roof and some furniture from the old house ...

Regarding the use, with the desire to create a long-term home for a family of 4, the architect made 3 bedrooms. The functional room arrangement of the new house is also reversed compared to the old one: the working room pushes to the alley, followed by the kitchen, and finally the living room and small yard.

The yard is only about 16m2 wide but the owner takes advantage of planting trees, creating a peaceful and relaxing space.

This yard acts as the "heart" of the whole building, both ventilating and helping the living room and bedrooms always have natural light.

The sky is arranged right on the yard, providing light for the trees and bringing natural light to the house.

The bedrooms are arranged with large windows facing this green space.

The house is simple but fully functional and especially suitable for families in big cities.

The new home has a rustic style with unpainted brick walls, suitable for the homeowner's old furniture.

Thanks to the optimal design, recently, the house was published by the prestigious American architectural magazine Arch Daily with many compliments.
