Text description provided by the architects. This project is located on a typical townhouse plot, with a building footprint area of 5m x 14m. The client, a middle-income family, requested a design that accommodates their diverse needs while adhering to a limited budget. The design team aimed to create a compact yet functional and comfortable living space.
The architects devised a layout that positions the house in the middle of the plot making space for the front and back courtyards. This configuration allows for a double-sided open space functioning as a means of cross-ventilation and ample natural light penetration into the interior spaces. The two-story house features a ground floor dedicated to communal areas: a living room with an integrated ancestral altar, a kitchen and dining area, and a relaxation corner. The staircase, bathroom, and storage are strategically laid out to one side, maximizing the front-to-back open flow of the main living spaces.
The upper floor houses three bedrooms and a shared bathroom. A central skylight, blended with greenery, connects the two floors. Balconies in the front view were omitted in favor of covered arched entryways to maximize space. These entryways are embellished with climbing plants that weave along the arches, adding a touch of nature to the facade. Due to the young age of the children, the interior walls are clad in high-skirting tiles for easy cleaning.
Hoa House is a model for young families with moderate budgets and multifaceted needs. By optimizing the layout and positioning while incorporating minimalist interior design, and integrating natural elements, this project delivers a comfortable, functional, and inviting living environment for all family members.
