The Red Roof by TAA Design has won the Dezeen Awards 2020 architecture project of the year. The house in Vietnam "invents a new typology, which addresses issues we face in the world today, where the urban is spilling into the rural," said judge Sally Mackereth.
Announced at the Dezeen Awards 2020 architecture show, this private home located in a small Vietnamese village won the prestigious architecture project of the year award, as well as being named rural house of the year.

The Red Roof by TAA Design also won in the rural house of the year category
Architecture studio TAA Design wanted to create a new kind of rural home that creates a closed cycle of growth, harvest and consumption.
The stepped roof section allows for the growth of vegetables, which are shared with the local community. The lower levels of the house are a series of courtyards used as gardens, spaces for communal activities and playgrounds for children.
This project is located in Kim Loc Hamlet in Vietnam
