ZIP is a small house in Biên Hòa, Đồng Nai, Việt Nam. The owner want to have a warmly small enough space for the 5 members family, but that space must be where they want to go home and live with each other everyday.

All functions are arranged to be as lean as possible. The 3 bedrooms are located on a same floor and around the common area – Where all members can sit side by side and watch the night sky through the glass roof. Total area of each floor is only 80sqm. About the landscape, we don’t want to make it complicate. Clean, Clear and Natural is the goal. We keep trees that were there many years ago. They has witnessed many changes in the owner’s family, and now it will continue in a new environment. The main materials we chose are raw bricks and concrete in order to focus on the coherence of the space and light.
