The architects were inspired by the traditional house want to design a house with the traditional structure accompanied by 3 separate spaces and slope roof, but using a modern and strong architectural language. At the same time, maximizing the ventilation efficiency by dividing the roof into two parts and having a courtyard; then allocating two corridors to connecting the roof. This way created a courtyard and big walls. These are porous walls which can bring breeze into the house.

建筑师们受到传统住宅的启发，想要设计出一套具有传统建筑结构的房子，同时要有三个独立的空间和斜坡屋顶，但要使用一种现代而强大的建筑语言。同时，最大限度地提高通风效率，将屋顶分成两部分，并有一个庭院，然后分配两个走廊连接屋顶。这种方式创造了一个庭院和大墙。这些墙是多孔的，可以把微风吹进屋子。

The Vietnam traditional house is stretched from front to back creating continuous functional spaces. These spaces’ boundaries are estimated by light with different intensity and darkness. The layout utilizes the wind direction of the local area in different seasons. Approaching the house firstly is the front yard made bY the hollow clay bricks, which can absorb the rain itself and reduce the heat on the floor Following is a buffer space which created the light transition from the yard to the living room, dining room and bedroom.

越南传统房屋从前到后伸展，创造了连续的功能空间。这些空间的边界是用不同强度和黑暗的光来估计的。该布局利用了当地不同季节的风向。首先是由空心粘土砖建造的前院，它能吸收雨水，减少地板上的热量。下面是一个缓冲空间，使院子到客厅、餐厅和卧室的光线发生了过渡。

The kitchen area and other functional spaces are located on the north side and go along the house, which is an advantage to traditional cooking when many family members come and visit. The mezzanine accommodates with two bedrooms, a relaxing and reading area and a long corridor connecting all spaces in the house through two stairs on both ends. We want to have a continuous space between the functional ones in and out of the house, so that the children can play and move freely, throughout the house without being confined by separate walls.

厨房和其他功能空间位于北面，沿着房子走，这是一个优势，比传统烹饪时，许多家庭成员来参观。阁楼配有两间卧室，一间放松和阅读的区域和一条长廊，通过两端的两层楼梯连接房子的所有空间。我们希望有一个连续的空间之间的功能进出的房子，这样孩子们可以自由地玩耍和行动，在整个房子，而不被单独的墙壁。
