Villa Tan Dinh
This is the House we designed for a female owner who truthfully desired for not only a comfortable but also convenient living space situated in center area of a hectic city. As always in our previous projects, we have been always did our best to create more spaces in our design stages in the context of less actual living space for human due to expansion of ?city building?.
During discussion with the owner, the first task to be consulted is to reduce the demand to the point where it is satisfy her needs, no more no less. And from that start, we can together create a bigger garden instead of a few small green zones at the entrance or at the doorstep.

The principal concept is to create a living space which hover above mini-garden, giving you the feeling of walking on bridges. All the primary activities in the house will be connected throughout empty zone between plants, water as well as natural light. Another distinguished features, the location adjacent to historical buildings of Sai Gon such as Tân ??nh Church, Tân ??nh Market. Also the house is located in the middle of district 3 which is considered the most ?condense? area of the city. In the early morning or afternoon, you can clearly hear the bell from the Church, or just walk out from the house a few steps you can directly be in touch with the ambience of ?alley? of Sai Gon, which can be seen as a specialty of Urban culture.
