They Built This House to Get Their Kids Outside

ByMyProperty Life

Nam Sua House was designed around a surprisingly current family concern: its owners wanted their children to spend less time in front of screens and more time connected to nature.

Instead of placing a garden only at the back of the property, TTDESIGN.vn used outdoor space to organize the house itself. The sequence moves from a front garden and shaded veranda into the social spaces, then opens again to a planted courtyard that separates the living areas from the bedrooms.

That garden does more than bring greenery inside. It creates privacy, helps ventilate the private spaces, reduces direct views toward the bedrooms, and makes nature part of the family’s everyday movement through the house.

Built in Tân Hiệp, Hóc Môn, on the outskirts of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, the house has approximately 108 m² of floor area on a 294 m² site. Its changing pitched roofs draw from traditional roof forms while helping rainwater drain quickly in the local climate.

Nam Sua House shows how leaving parts of a site unbuilt can become one of the most important architectural decisions in the entire project.

  • W72nd Penthouse

    Located in the historic Oliver Cromwell Building, The W72nd penthouse inhabits the top three floors of the historic building in the Upper West Side of Manhattan. With commanding views of Central Park, it’s an awe-inspiring refuge from the frenetic pace of NYC. The clients, a financier and a tech entrepreneur, one from Pakistan and the other a Detroit native, longed for a cozy retreat to counterbalance their busy lifestyle. The fusion of two cultural backgrounds are apparent in the mixtures of textiles and material selections throughout the home. With two growing daughters and a steady stream of houseguests, the project aimed to accommodate their family as well as act as a secluded shelter away from city life. The space is first met with a glimpse of a stunning oak herringbone floors and steel circular staircase that connects all three floors and serves as the central backbone of the space. Facing the staircase is the main floor living and dining area perfectly framed as the home’s first introduction to the space. The area showcases an eclectic art collection and a library for the voracious literary appetite of the homeowners along with objects of curiosity from the client’s travels. Instantly eye-catching is the dining area which features a stunning dining table and leather chairs and flanked by a banquette covered with a custom Suki Cheema textile. Adjacent is a small media room punctuated by a bright red Ligne Roset couch. The tiered floor plates provided a challenge for maximizing space as each level gets increasingly smaller as you go up. The design team began to think like a shipwright to design unexpected built-ins that evoke the feeling of being in a sailboat in the sky. On the second floor, up the oak and steel staircase, is small office, a bedroom with two beds in a unique head-to-toe configuration surrounded by figured maple built-in storage looking to the prominent views of the penthouse’s towering over Manhattan. Also, on the second floor is a bathroom, a small kitchenette, and a gracious balcony that continues to overlook to the busy cityscape below. The open spaces of the circular stairwell continue up to the third-floor feature integrated fire shutters that slide down to create privacy for the whole second floor. Continuing up the stairs is a generous master bedroom and master bath. The master bathroom is class wall to wall in hand- made colored Moroccan tile juxtaposed with modern fixtures and fittings.
