5 days agotextural brickwork shapes trung tran studio's breezy 'nang house' in rural vietnam
Nang House sits in the rural outskirts of Hanoi, Vietnam, a place where new construction presses steadily into long-established village patterns. Designed by Trung Tran Studio for a three-generation household, the residential project works with the grain of its surroundings rather than clearing it away. Mature trees occupy the garden, and every one remains in place. Their canopies shape the roofline and guide circulation, producing quiet pockets of shade that soften the presence of brick and tile.
