TOOB studio breathes new life into 20-year-old terraced house

TOOB Studio has restored Long Biên House, a 20-year-old 2.5-story terraced residence, with minimal structural reinforcements to retain its original open composition. Rather than complete demolition, the design preserves and strengthens the existing building in Vietnam, creating a multi-functional space while reducing costs and construction time. Above the modified original structure, a newly constructed block introduces improved views and a stronger connection to the surrounding neighborhood.

Long Biên House stands out with vibrant layered exterior

With the rapid urbanization of Vietnam, many homes built in the early 2000s no longer align with the functional or aesthetic needs of the younger generation. This shift, marked by evolving lifestyles and preferences, has driven TOOB Studio’s design approach to updating Long Biên House thoughtfully, avoiding the wastefulness of unnecessary demolition.

This refreshed aesthetic is met with warm responses from neighbors, highlighting the home’s successful integration into the local environment.

  • Music Box Residence

    The Music Box Residence was designed around the intimate and communal qualities of music and family. The steep lot, with views towards Mt. St. Helens and Mt. Rainier dictated a multi-level structure. On the lowest level, surrounded by concrete walls, resides the timpani rehearsal room. The husband, a member of the Oregon Symphony, required space and acoustic separation for practice. On the main level sits the piano studio where the wife’s students come to learn and play. Her studio opens onto the main living room and covered outdoor living area for recitals and parties. The upper level houses the couple’s children, parents, and guests. Continue up and an electronic roof hatch pivots open, revealing a rooftop deck, complete with commanding views of forest park, the city and mountains beyond. The “U” shaped plan has large volumes on both sides with a glassy two-story entry space in the middle. A long bridge, with a bamboo forest below, leads from the sidewalk to the main entry. The exterior, clad in black stained siding; reminiscent of “shosugi ban,” or charred wood, pays homage to their Japanese ancestry.
