Rustic Asian Home With A Traditional Essence

On a Rustic Asian Home at the foothills of Annamese Cordillera, central Vietnam, Hue people hold the role of family in high regard, placing family ties above everything else. These values led one family of adult children to commission a home design in which their elderly parents could enjoy retirement from leisure hobbies and gardening. Designed by an architectural firm Limdim House Studio, this 75 square meter home was designed to be easily habitable for the elderly couple, with a comfortable but minimalist aesthetic. Traditional, rustic elements have been used to achieve a quiet appeal that is reminiscent of childhood in the countryside. An open interior plan promotes natural light and ventilation.
Although Hue is one of the largest cities in Vietnam, the lifestyle is very peaceful. This quiet spirit is conveyed in a traditional home exterior where rustic stone walls attractively contain a welcoming courtyard. Local to the city of Hue, an ancient style of simple clay tiles, called “Liệt” tiles, gives the home exterior its traditional coronation. A modest window of glass wash window interrupts a warm, buff image.
Plant beds on either side of the gate entrance lay a green welcome into the front yard. Inside the gates, two outdoor chairs and a small coffee table sit on the sun-stained tile. Directly behind the outdoor seat, a large window draws a connection with the interior space.
Double doors give entrance into the home by a stepped concrete threshold. Small planters adorn one side of the wide front entrance, while a new head-shaped planter looks at the other.
Inside the home, a minimalist arrangement was planned as the most convenient, low-maintenance solution for the elderly couple. The sitting room features a custom built sofa design with storage subtly under its concrete base. A low chair and coffee table make up the rest of the small seat, where a glass vase provides a simple centerpiece.
The concrete sofa base also forms the foot of a modern staircase design, with black metal balustrades forming a striking pattern. On the 100m2 site, only 50m2 was used in the footprint of the home. The rest of the plot was left available for growing vegetables and flowers and enjoying a quiet lifestyle.
The home is used almost exclusively by the retired couple, so the compact living space is concise and functional for two. The kitchen island is a multi-purpose piece that is used to prepare food, cook on the kitchen counter and eat, which frees up floor space for other things and activities.
The interior of the house is lighted with a rustic indoor-outdoor appeal. A large stone feature wall climbs the double-height dwelling, creating a natural tonal beauty that invites the eye to wander to high altitudes.
A number of wooden bar stools line the front of the concrete kitchen island, while wooden cupboards build a panel of rich wood tone across the back of the open concept room. The door to the left of the kitchen leads to a guest room, while the other enters a powder room.
A wall full of lush windows in the double high void ventilates the home. A wooden ceiling fan helps air circulation.
The modern staircase design climbs to a narrow mezzanine landing, where access to the master bedroom is made by a wall of glass sliding doors.
A glass roof gives the shower room a bright and open outdoor shower feel. A rustic ladder board completes another attractive stone feature wall that wraps around the wet belt.
A guest room on the ground floor faces the entrance courtyard. A wooden desk is joined with a small wall mirror to form a flexible space that can be used for writing tasks or as a toilet. In addition to the traditional unit, a glass vase filled with flowers creates a homey touch.
Upstairs in the mezzanine bedroom, the stone-headed wall fits perfectly into the en-suite bathroom design, which is separated by a clear glass wall. The glazed wall lets natural light into the room and increases visual space. The daylight filters through a striking terracotta block bathroom wall that creates a pattern of arches.
The bedroom is minimal but serves the needs of the homeowners most appropriately
Back on the mezzanine landing, a traditional lounge chair is inserted into an unused corner to create a comfortable reading area.
Ground floor plan, showing the compact open plan living space with kitchen and dining rooms, plus two bedrooms and two bathrooms. The courtyard design behind the fence gate was designed to promote an intimate atmosphere that would evoke memories of childhood for the retired couple. Recovered simple clay tiles and blocks of baked bricks were assembled to draw parallels with traditional houses in the countryside, and to paint a quiet palette of earthy brown tones.
Mezzanine floor with landing and sliding glass wall access to the master bedroom and en-suite bathroom.
Section drawing, shows the rustic contrast of stone, wood, concrete, and nostalgic clay roof tiles. The bricks that were picked up from old houses served the new house with a traditional color palette. The material palette built notoriety that helped house the old homeowners in their new environment. This diagram also illustrates how the sun path affected the window sill, and how ventilation mapping created ultimate comfort within the home.

Lush Vietnamese Villa for Multiple Generations

Veiled in the elegant splendor of nature, this beautiful Vietnamese Villa is the majestic home of a three-generation family unit. Designed by Nghia Architect, delicate curtain crawls fall around the edges of long terraces, creating amazing pockets of peaceful privacy. A contrast of cool concrete and warm wood flows from the modern home exterior into contemporary living spaces. Long skylights bring in sunlight flowing in to blur the boundaries between indoor and outdoor space. Circular light wells drill concrete overhangs on the porch to allow trees to push through toward the sky. Floor plans and a video preview of this fabulous family home are included at the end of our tour.
The modern home’s exterior shines with an inviting light that adds to the mystery of the covered curtain crawls.
The home was designed to serve the different lifestyles of the three-generation family. While the grandparents are getting used to the traditional Vietnamese lifestyle, the younger family members are familiar with a modern, multicultural way of life.
The elderly family members have lived in this area of Vietnam for a long time, so they have built strong bonds with their community, and enjoy interacting with their friendly neighbors on a daily basis. A permanent porch around the perimeter of the home offers plenty of places to have fun. A round light well brightens the area, which is mainly shaded by a concrete overhang.
A mature tree stretches up through the well of light, where it seeks the sun.
There is a second circular cut that makes room for an outdoor spiral staircase.
A solid wall separates the porch just behind the stairs, building a large privacy screen that overlooks the garden.
The privacy wall separates one of the bedrooms and its adjoining terrace area.
A tracery color image gives the concrete wall a warm aesthetic.
An outdoor chair furnishes the bedroom terrace to create a place for quiet contemplation or reading.
Curtain climbs sway nicely in the breeze.
The second and third generations of this family travel home to Vietnam only a few times a year, so this unique home was designed to include large spaces that would accommodate festive family gatherings and social events.
Because there are big differences in the lifestyles of the family members, due to age and culture, various indoor and outdoor living spaces have been created to suit different needs and desires.
Large community spaces were flexible, so they could be opened or closed. Habitats peacefully connect with the lush gardens and courtyard.
During the construction of the family villa, much of the native pine forest was preserved.
The villa structure extends in different directions to adjust the landscape, and to protect the pine trees as their own gardens.
Although large, the architectural structure manages to blend well with its natural environment.
Thanks to its green veil, the house is distinguished only by the outline of its upper and lower roof lines. Raw concrete and natural wood grain form a rustic look that coincides with a modern lifestyle.
The high-end design of the roof canopy gives the building a thin, gravitational redefining look. As it borders the length of the building, it creates a wide, 30-meter-long open porch with no sign of a structural pillar.
Wooden slats open the side of the building to connect with the nature-kissed porch.
Inside the villa, a wooden dining table seats eight to ten people at a dinner party. A light dining room chandelier falls in front of the special sight. The open porch forms a place where homeowners and guests can gather after dinner, to take a breath of fresh air or to admire the rain.
Behind the dining room, a contemporary kitchen is equipped with all the modern appliances needed to arrange large family gatherings.
Green plants and sunlight characterize the cheerful walking paths of the home.
Light windows open the connecting corridors to the blue sky.
The family home is divided into three main blocks.
Two private dormitories, each with its own lounges, are located on each side of the structure.
The central block is home to the kitchen and dining room, which serve as the primary community space and as a link to all areas.
A glass wall room is raised above a private garden, with the bathtub located above to absorb the green view.
Footsteps meander through the lawn.
A designer chair provides an elegant stop against a board-shaped concrete wall.
A pivot door makes a secret entrance into one of the master bedrooms.
Ripe pines dwarf the large villa.
Local birds jump up on the porch, where hammock seats await on lazy afternoons.
When everything is closed, the beautiful wooden shutters completely envelop the main block of life to a wonderful effect. Sunlight steals floor-to-ceiling windows to add to the naturally striped aesthetic.
At sunset, LED lights are turned on in the floor to illuminate the wooden lath home exterior.
The first floor plan illustrates the layout of the three main blocks, with the communal kitchen dining room sandwiched between the two private sleeping blocks. Guest rooms are located at the back of the house, adjacent to the housekeeper wing and storage space.
On the second floor plan, we find two more bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs.

Vietnamese Villas: Airy Courtyards & Lush Green Borders

Nature has revitalizing effects that are great for mental health, but often we are pretty much removed from it in our modern homes. In built-up areas, there may be limited space for gardens, or they may not offer enough privacy from the nearest neighbors. Courts offer an opportunity to correct this. Surrounded by the home itself, there are no curious eyes from the next door, and the central location of the green space encourages passage through it as one moves from one inner room to the next. Designed by Kaizen Archi, These two bright and modern Vietnamese villa concepts are centered around their airy courtyards, which provide happily cooling ventilation and a serene 360º garden view.
Measuring 26 feet by 30 feet, our first Vietnamese villa design is a modern apartment that is surrounded by an abundant garden shore of mature shrubs and palm trees.
The two-story house is arranged in a square formation, with a courtyard split inside.
The modern facade is shielded by high walls to ensure privacy of the road that goes near the front entrance.
Once inside the villa, the aesthetic remains clear and modern with fresh white walls, ceilings and floors. Natural wood elements and beige fabrics warm the color palette, and solid black accents provide heavy visual anchors.
The large and airy living room is an open layout that encompasses the kitchen and dining rooms behind the lounge.
Retractable glass doors adjoin the living room with the outdoor terrace, which increases the usable space. The indoor-outdoor living arrangement also ensures plenty of cooling airflow through the Vietnamese villa.
The kitchen installation fills the back of the living room with rich wooden cabinets. Compatible wood effect panels reach up to the ceiling line to extend the aesthetics and make a much grander statement. A coordinating kitchen island separates the kitchen from the dining room and adjoining living room.
The lounge is spread out in a peaceful courtyard design with mature trees and a deck for dining in the fresh air.
Wide windows create sun-drenched bedrooms with beautiful views of the green borders. The end of a couch matches the earthen upholstered bed, while two chairs join the cool gray bed and a concrete retaining wall.
Within the master series, a low partition wall separates the sleeping space from a toilet area.
Espresso bedding coordinates perfectly with the deep shadow of the headboard wall. A private terrace awaits just outside the sliding glass doors, with a soothing view of the tropical treetops.
The bathroom has a fabulous view of its own that can be enjoyed from the bathtub.
Two outdoor chairs and an inviting hanging chair find shade under a short roof overhang and a few small trees in raised planters.
On one side of the house, a narrow courtyard area extends along the high perimeter wall, which is softened by overhanging plants and a border of dense greenery.
Home arrangement.
Our second Vietnamese villa design measures 7.5 meters by 30 meters in Binh Duong,

Behind the perimeter wall, the front entrance serves as a shaded outdoor seat.
A round coffee table creates a dark core for the living room layout, and adds a balancing element to the large black TV screen.
Sliding glass doors connect the living room with an airy patio, which then leads to the kitchen dining room. A large, glass dining room chandelier captures the light from double-height windows.
Gray kitchen stools mojose match the gray upholstered dining chairs, while the kitchen cabinets bring a warm wood tone to the room.
The brandy color reappears in a padded bed design in the master series.
Beige bedroom rug easily merges with the wooden chevron floor.
Modern bedroom hangers are suspended on either side of the bed, where they complement the metal finish of two luxury liter units.
A pair of bathroom mirrors hang from the ceiling of the vanity area, where LED perimeter lights cast a comfortable glow.
Inside the modern nursery, a step platform lifts the child’s bed off the floor and provides storage space underneath.
Sky blue closets are built in at the end of the bed, where they adhere to a children’s workspace.
In the home office, warm orange accents add energy to black, white and wood grain decor. A designer chair makes a chic reading song between two bookshelves.

High-end furniture and richly toned color palettes create high-end spaces within these three polished Vietnamese homes. This high-rise image is peacefully balanced with pepper of green spaces inside, in the form of attic courtyards, hidden terraces and integrated indoor planters. The effects of Mother Nature dominate in the character and harmony of these interiors, evoking a sense of calm and encouraging a slower pace of life at home. In a fast-moving world, we should always have time to stop and smell the roses. There is also plenty of inspiration for impressive living rooms, kitchens and dining rooms, elegant bedrooms, creative outdoor living spaces and modern staircase designs.
A concrete living room builds a bold television wall treatment. Elegant modern media highlights the wall-mounted TV screen, while a stack of bookshelves builds a warm wooden tower.
White marble tiles flood clean, space expanding floor treatment through the living space and home entrance.
An impressive staircase design ascends to the second floor of the home amid a burst of lofty indoor plants that spring from a small indoor patio beneath the walkways.
A modern L-shaped kitchen surrounds the dining area with a row of contrasting gray and white cabinets.
The dining table is integrated into the side of the kitchen island to create one streamlined piece. A woven dining room hanger brightly illuminates the dining room. See more inspiration for dining room hangers here.

A second bedroom is decorated with intricate brandy and a gray color scheme. Sebastian Herkner’s large floor lamp Oda illuminates one edge of the bed, while a smaller alternative illuminates the other.
A narrow shelf provides the simple TV wall, providing a cornice for a small decorative vase and some additional greenery.
The next bedroom is double with fully equipped furniture, which includes custom cabinets, a floating desk and a window seat with storage.

The sculptural stool is the Spinning chair designed by Thomas Heatherwick for Magis. A small indoor patio echoes the curves in the furniture with its free-form border.
The rectangular dining table is set against a large indoor planter, which provides more opportunity for happy greenery.
A round roof window provides the plant with natural sunlight.
The skylight also brings extra daylight into the black kitchen design.

Polished Vietnamese Homes With Green Spaces Inside
A Tranquil Vietnamese House With A Courtyard
Do you like Architecture and Interior Design? Follow us …
A dreamy, nature-affected home stands on the riverbank of a small village in Hoi An ancient city of Quang Nam province, Vietnam, elegantly designed by lequang architects. Surrounded by a typical agricultural landscape, the 180-square-meter home was designed to quietly merge into the greenery of the local landscape. The homeowner is an environmental expert, and she wanted her son to grow up in a natural environment, and benefit from the living education that this experience brings. This house serves as a quiet base for such a way of life and also for the life of birds and insects thanks to a serene courtyard where small creatures can visit and find shelter among the bushes.
The beautiful courtyard design forms the beating heart of this peaceful home design. Glass walls open each of the living spaces to the soul a soothing sight of sun-stained green foliage, wild birds and visiting butterflies.
The wooden framed double glass doors are fully retracted to allow the interior and exterior spaces to be seamlessly connected. With the courtyard at the core of all living spaces, walking naturally finds its way through nature several times a day.
A deep blue accent color paints a rich coherence across all interior and exterior living spaces. The color creates a wonderfully contrasting background for the bright and diverse wood tones of the doors, furniture and trim.
A traditional regional rug lays a burnt orange base for the living area. A large and striking wall piece establishes a colored connection with the floor covering. A modern sofa refreshes the decorative palette with cool upholstery.
There is a vertical piano on the other side of the home living room where the homeowner and her son can ring the keys during the breeze from the connected courtyard. An elegant wooden and rotating lounge chair sits listening to the presentation.
The homeowner, Ms. Giang, sees her home as a mini-community center where she can arrange meetings with her environmental group.
Ms. Giang also arranges meetings with her neighbors here in this nature-affected home, to grow and nurture strong community bonds. A communal rural village lifestyle is what she hoped for when he planned his relocation here from the crowded city of Saigon.
A display of ceramic flower vases marks a convenient shoe storage buried beneath the edge of the courtyard.
Outdoor lights create an atmospheric glow across the foliage in the courtyard as night falls.
Wooden slatted ceilings create a comfortable cover over the interior spaces. A kitchen peninsula and elegant bar stools provide a comfortable dining area.
The ground floor rooms of the house are raised around the edge of the courtyard and include multifunctional elements …
… The floor of the main dining room also serves as a long bench for the garden.
Small raised beds arrange the garden as an interactive space to change plants and engage in light work for happily during remote hours outside.
The floor bench is a discreetly attractive place where neighbors come to chat at the edge of the courtyard garden.
The sunken dining room also serves as a place for work and collaborative teamwork. Natural rattan roller blinds can be deployed to offer extra shade when and where needed.
As the front entrance leads directly into the courtyard, visitors to the home immediately present the spiral organization of overlapping space. In the design, the house first inspired the traditional shop layout, as seen in Hoi An ancient city. This concept has developed into a coiled compound, such as a helical shell, that makes it resistant to flooding. The result is an immediate impressive first and lasting impression.
The upper gallery overlooks the courtyard and entrance through slender metal balustrade and beautiful wooden pillars. Inexpensive local materials were used for the attractive modern building.
Pre-engineered steel forms the structure on the ground floor, leaning against thick walls. The exposed structure of the house becomes a form of visual expression.
Internal and external boundaries of space are transformed and changed as they are retranslated within different everyday scenes.
The literal shape of the areas changes to accommodate the activities of the homeowner, her son and their visiting neighbors. The mix of spaces are just moments tied around the garden rectangle, which is always the main focus of the home and its changing purpose.
In a distorted site perimeter, the rectangular garden transforms the mass into a living being. In the words of the architect, “The house is like a tree, it creates different spaces, different shades, it becomes beautiful not only by the parts exposed to the sunlight but also in the parts that fade into the darkness. I think that the unification of a tree is how a ‘structure’ becomes an ‘architecture’. ”
This “rolled up” version of the traditional storehouse sees the space unfold gradually higher from the center, with the high retaining perimeter wall effective for holding the heavy rain. In contrast, the ancient storefront layout is linear with a series of courtyards that unwantedly caught the rain inside.
