Located in Vietnam, the VH6 villa is a beautifully designed residence covering an area of 350 square meters. Despite being called a villa, it is situated in a bustling urban area.

This villa offers spacious and open rooms with diverse views of its surroundings. The western side of the house features an open area that provides a view of the entire interior of the house. This area is also the warmest due to Vietnam's climate.

This 4-story house is occupied by a small family with two children who embrace a modern lifestyle. They make use of the open space on the western side to allow natural light into the house.

The design of the villa is simple, consisting of cube-shaped structures arranged harmoniously. The exterior of the house is equipped with wooden louvers that can be opened and closed. This system is used to control the entry of light into the house and also serves security purposes. Depending on the weather or the owner's mood, the house can appear open or closed from the outside.

Another unique feature of this house, apart from its exterior, is its floor plan, which narrows as it goes up, creating a varied and unique massing.

The first floor serves as the public area of the house, featuring a vehicle garage, a wooden terrace, and a front and side yard. Upon entering the house, visitors are greeted with a living room that seamlessly connects to the dining area and kitchen. Large glass windows are used on the sides of the house to create an open and spacious atmosphere. The first floor also includes a guest bedroom, a children's playroom, and a bathroom located under the staircase.

On the second floor, you will find the master bedroom for the parents, a media room, and a void, creating high ceilings for the living room below.

The master bedroom is quite spacious and includes a walk-in closet and a bathroom with a bathtub. This floor provides privacy for the parents, except in the media room.

Moving up to the next level, there are two children's bedrooms, a play area, a bathroom, and a balcony. The bathroom is separate from the bedrooms and can be used by both the children and other guests on this floor. The play area is directly connected to the bedrooms. Although the main staircase ends on this floor, there is still a circular staircase leading to the topmost floor of the house.

The circular staircase leads visitors to a spacious bedroom and an expansive open balcony. The glass gable roof above the staircase provides ample natural light to the children's play area. With its numerous open spaces, this house promotes the well-being of its occupants.

The gable roof design also indicates that, beneath its modern exterior, the house also considers its surrounding neighborhood. The architect also provides the option for the homeowners to open or close the house using vertical wooden louvers throughout the entire structure. Unique and simple in design.
