Ha Noi-based architectural practice, Landmak Architecture, has designed the Semi Detached House project. Completed in 2014, the stylish family home is located within the new urban Gamuda Gardens Township, in Vietnam.
According to the architects: “The luxury and warm interior design is requested to meet demand of most Vietnamese families in particular and South East Asia in general (the client target is that at least 70 per cent of visitors become interested in design). Therefore, personal characteristic, special solutions, and natural materials should be removed and replaced by loose furniture which creates the simple and reasonable sense.
“When the ‘semi detached house’ (SD House) has been built, we joined in the project with the theme of typical family in Vietnam with three generations: 60-year-old old couple, 30-year-old young couple and a 5-year-old nephew.
“The advantage of the SD House is the corner position in a row of house, therefore, its view is really beautiful and much of light. The great difficulty, however, is not allowed to change space function (such as break or remove walls) because it is fixed by the primary design. So light partitions, furniture, and back drops are used to make visual connection.
“As the living room is quite narrow (there is an adjacent garage), the low-reflection glass is used to deepen space. TV cabinet is designed with sliding door on surface to adjust vision and feeling. TV niche is especially considered in order to protect the surface when there’s no need to use because of strait way.
“Materials, furniture, floor timber, curtains, décor lamps, etc. with colour tone (white, grey, cream, wood) create a modern space mixed with some vintage pieces. Orange decorative arts and materials are used at some points to make the luxury space cozy.”
