Excerpt: Weekend House by MIA Design Studio is conceived as a space to thoroughly connect people and nature, utilizing light, wind, trees, and flowers. The layout plan connects all architectural elements, while gardens alternate between living spaces for privacy and communication. The architectural facade of the residence features a random series of large and small openings in a large wall, connecting the ground and sky.
Project Description
[Text as submitted by architect] The house is located in Lagi Town, Binh Thuan province, which has a typical tropical monsoon climate. The client’s desire is to have a space having three separate bedrooms to relax on weekends with a family with a moderate budget in 1.4Ha land. The project carries the challenge of adapting to the local climate with two distinct seasons, wet and dry. With the combination of local workers and materials to optimize construction time and cost to create a large, airy, clean and close living space. In addition, solving insects is also an interesting point of this project.
The architects conceive this as a space to thoroughly connect everything. A space filled with light and wind, trees and flowers that creates the connection between people and nature. The layout plan is a straight traffic route to connect all architectural elements as bedrooms, kitchen guests, toilets… together, and gardens are designed alternately between living space to create more privacy and natural communication. The architectural facade is simply a random series of large and small openings in a large wall that is across the land. This is a thin line connecting the ground and the sky.
The garden landscape has a countryside atmosphere with straight clusters of trees. Besides, there are many spaces for tree shades in an outdoor space for the homeowner. The living room is the heart of the house with a view through the inner flower garden to the endless landscape space outside, forming layers of light and shaded. This is not only a space for people but also a place where light, wind, flower scents … blend and dance.
