Text description provided by the architects. Kai House is located in the new urban area of Hai Duong city, Vietnam. The whole 72 m2 area with two frontages at the fork of the road, the land and the frontage becomes an attractive “problem” for architects – owners. The owner is also the architect of the house. Green architecture is the direction of development that he and his associates are aiming at, optimizing the space, especially the flexibility of using and bringing garden, green trees into the living space. In other words, open space is the highest priority in the design process

The house was built on the land 72 m2 but the first-floor area only 46 m2, the remaining land for the garden. The façade is distinct from the surrounding architecture, the house is characterized by individuality and personality. Trees are naturally introduced into the home as a cooling and greening solution. Spacious garden, separated from the house with the road, so the house kept the privacy and quiet.
