Tree facade house
House is located in the heart of the newly developed suburb of Da Nang. It is a testament to the enduring bond of three generations of a family because this house not only had to provide space to comfortably live in a narrow but deep frontage. But it also has a heritage foundation of woodworking expertise that has been passed down through the ages. Therefore, there must be a balance between respect for the cultural roots of past generations. compatible with natural elements and sustainable living of the new generation in the most perfect way
Built on an area of 105 sq m, this multi-storey house is located in Ngu Hanh Son District (Da Nang City), where a three-generation family lives.

From discussing needs with the owner A group of architects therefore came up with a solution for arranging the living space to be similar to a country house, such as a red tile roof, bricks, and black basalt. The roof is a long wooden awning structure covering a wide terrace. to protect from sunlight Reduces the heat of the central region and protects interior areas from rain. You can also open it up and sit and greet your neighbors like before.
Woodworking is more than a profession. But it is a way of life that has been passed down from generation to generation. Inspired by the craftsmanship of our ancestors The architect therefore chose wood as one of the main materials for both interior and exterior projects. The family’s active participation in the woodworking process reinforces the connection between home and culture. The wood will be removed from the old building. and reused to create roof structures, stairs, and furniture without the use of chemical coatings. Both materials and labor use local resources. Helps save costs protect the environment and increase sustainability
The function of the 4-story house still maintains the old routine. In the family’s country house, on the first floor, in front of the house there is a large lawn and a parking space. Open the door and there will be a fish pond. Common areas include the living room. With kitchen The dining area is put together in a simple way. Decorative materials include green ceramic tiles, terrazzo floors, and wooden furniture sets. that goes well with bare cement The kitchen takes advantage of natural light from the vented brick wall. The bathroom has a separate roof, similar to a small house with an old tile roof.
In addition to the team adding courtyards and balconies to both the front and back of the building. To help reduce the impact of hot weather on the interior space. Large courtyards and terraces are also repeated inside on the 3rd-4th floors, adjacent to a small garden with many tropical shrubs. This is where family members sit and talk during the day and relax during their free time. There will be a skylight allowing light to shine through into the interior from above. So it’s like having an outdoor space in the house.
The upper floor has a walkway connecting the banquet rooms. which is modeled after the picture of a wooden bridge In addition to using it as a thoroughfare A high hall space was also created in this part to overcome the disadvantages of the house being narrow and deep and having no side openings. Connect the areas both horizontally and vertically. It becomes a large hall in the center of the house, creating “breathing space” for the house and increasing the feeling of space as if the inside is wider. And at the same time, it can allow for light from the roof and wind.
