The K.house is a garden house in the center of Phan Thiet city. It is a construction entirely based on the memories, lifestyle, and habits of the old house where the family lived for over 30 years. Memories of a sandy path leading from the small gate to the house, with two long rows of sugarcane on both sides, later replaced by two rows of apple trees, and then by a row of houses. When the house was conceived, the aim was to create a Tropical Modern space while ensuring two main tasks. One was to optimize the two available garden areas, and the other was to preserve old values, such as the small path leading to the house, and the old spaces (altar room, mother's bedroom, well...) are still maintained. The locations are almost intact to maintain a familiar feeling in family activities. The challenge was that the house could be divided into two spaces for two families (multi-generational) to use with all functions, such as kitchen, dining table, living room, and bedroom. It can be opened and closed flexibly when needed, ensuring functionality and privacy. The backbone and main traffic axis connecting the front and back garden (courtyard) are two long parallel corridors. You can fully feel the sound, smell of grass, and cool view no matter which room you are in. Although there is only the ground floor, we use a large exposed iron truss system to increase height and ventilation, inspired by typical resort buildings in Mui Ne, such as Saigon Mui Ne Resort (Architect Nguyen Van Tat), Jibe Beach Club... Combined with natural materials, such as Thanh Hoa yellow and black tangled stone. Simple furniture combines wood with leather, and rattan lanterns to give the space a tropical atmosphere.
