BiBi House / Atelier TAs

The house is in a small ward in Dong Nai province in Vietnam. The owner is a young software engineer. He wants an "open house" for his kind mother and lovely sister. Their request is to connect people in the house with the altar because they want to celebrate some Vietnamese traditions' holidays, such as Tet, death anniversary, wedding day, etc. and they can easily organize rituals with their ancestors. With this request, we designed the house with two private boxes for the bedroom and some auxiliary spaces. Outside these boxes are the common spaces where is possible to gather many people on some traditional Vietnamese holidays. In between the two boxes is a big void with the function of being the dining room.
