Archdaily top 50 credits Vietnamese design

Four innovative structures, from Hanoi to Dong Nai, have been named in the list of best houses in 2020 by prominent architecture website Archdaily.

This 140-square-meter CH House in Hanoi's Ha Dong District provides a three-generation family a harmonious refuge. It boasts two facades: the outer layer is made of perforated cement blocks while the inner layer consists of steel framed glass. Trees dot the inside while common areas like the living and dining rooms are placed at different levels to replicate the notion of dynamic transitioning.
