In addition to the design of wooden barricades throughout, the architect also combines with a glass door system to help the house both have an impressive appearance and open up the cool space inside.
DCG house is a family house located in a quiet residential area, in Thu Duc City (District 2).

Architect G+architects said that the project, in addition to creating a common space that connects everyone in the family, also needs to ensure a certain privacy for them. Because the house is in the northwest direction, the architect offered a solution to design a wooden door system throughout the facade to limit direct sunlight combined with internal glass doors. Both layers of doors can be opened and closed flexibly to regulate sunlight and wind into the house and increase the interaction between interior and exterior space. The house is located in a quiet residential area in Ho Chi Minh City, built on an area of ​​110 m2. The house is designed with two-layer facade, the inner layer is a glass door, the outer layer is a wooden lamination system. During the day, the sun penetrates the blue system and prints shadows on the interior space. At night, the wooden bar creates a blurry view from the outside into the interior space, ensuring privacy but equally interesting. As for the space solution, the common spaces on the ground floor and the second floor are opened up to get more light for family activities. In addition, it also creates a contrast in proportion between the public and private volumes in the spatial layout of the house. The idea of ​​establishing the relationship between the public and the private space is also through the solution of soft separation by movable walls creating continuity for the library and indoor playground functions. Thereby, users can actively control the limitations in space. This is also convenient for ventilation from front to back of the building. With this work, architect G+architects shared: “We want to show the concepts in space definition that adapt to the different living habits of the homeowner along with architectural solutions for each climate context.
