The Vietnamese household traditionally followed the extended multigenerational pattern. The parents, their sons and daughters, their children, and unmarried siblings usually constituted a specific typology called “Tu Dai Dong Duong” (four generations under the same roof). Along with that, the formation of the land-ownership mentality in Vietnam in the past 30 years has led to a type of tube house, which is a variation of the traditional “shophouse.”
