Charming Timber House Stays True To The Views And Its Beautiful Location

Set on a piece of land carved into the hillside in Ciudad Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, this beautiful timber-clad structure is one of three-holiday homes designed to take full advantage of the ocean views. The other two houses are clad in stone and respectively glass, the choice of materials giving each one a unique identity. The Timber House was designed by studio MM++ architects and completed in 2018. The architects anticipated the fact that the panoramic views toward the ocean might become obstructed by future constructions and designed the house in such a way to allow it to optimize the viewing experience. They did this by raising the house on a platform and giving it a vertical spatial arrangement.

It houses the first floor of the house, with two-bedroom suites. Large louvers offer it privacy without completely blocking the natural light or views.
