Facing the West, a tube house in Hanoi dons a wooden face to mitigate solar radiation, promoting internal tranquility and privacy. The 120-meter-square home is located in a Hanoi neighborhood. To make the house stand out, architects decided to create a special facade with wood lamination, reducing solar radiation, and helping to shape the exterior. The front garden is raised to create space for a garage. The house is designed with two open sides in the front and the back, ensuring maximum lighting and ventilation. A staircase is placed at the back to utilize more living space, often spoiled by the traditional tube house shape. Floor-to-ceiling windows allow tons of natural light to penetrate the abode. The basic spatial structure of a normal tube house is often in the form of a staircase acting as main axis, but architects of this house broke the tradition by placing it to the rear. https://e.vnexpress.net/news/life/style/hanoi-tube-house-narrow-in-shape-broad-on-design-4121856.html Tweet Other same category • TOP INTERNATIONAL KINDERGARTEN IN HANOI • Hanoi Cuisine • Tet is coming soon • Vietnam property firms gear up for the post pandemic recovery • Saigon cafe peddles to cycling enthusiasts • Da Nang house of wind that began with a love story
