Dong Thu House / HIEN Architects

Dong Thu House is located in Dien Bien City, a city in the mountainous province of Northwest Vietnam with a relatively harsh climate - very cold in winter and hot in summer. The house is built with 3 floors on a 100m2 plot of land, from ensuring necessary functions and creating communal spaces to enhance connectivity for a three-generation family to meet the privacy needs of each individual. Additionally, there is a need to address the heat resistance issue, as the majority of the vertical surface area of the house is exposed to the adverse effects of westward sunlight.
