sawadeesign completes chiulinh house in ho chi minh city, vietnam

the ‘chiulinh house’, by sawadeesign, is located on an alley plot in district eight of ho chi minh city, vietnam. renovated for a young couple and their two children, the home emphasizes natural light, air, and greenery while retaining security throughout.

the ground level includes parking space, living, kitchen, and dining areas. a sun-lit stairwell connects upstairs, which is reserved entirely for sleeping quarters. since the alley faces directly west, special attention was paid to making the upstairs area comfortable for living. a hybrid façade of sun-shade overs and spinning windows was developed, a solution not only to comfort concerns but security as well. ‘chiulinh house’ was designed by sawadeesign and completed in july 2016.
