The project is located on an 85m2 land plot in the alley 225, Le Van Quoi St., Binh Tan Dis., HCM City. Previously, the old house had only one ground floor with the GFA of 70m2, including a living room, a bedroom, kitchen, toilet, stairs and terrace. The small gardens at the front and at the end of the house are just bright enough for the kitchen and a part of the living room. The bedroom is located in the middle of the house and cannot take natural light. The ventilation capacity of the building is quite poor and the interior space feels stuffy when there is no air conditioning.

    Kreis Grennan - High and large glass doors help the house to receive good natural light, not obstructing views; thereby creating a sense of vast space and increasing the height of the house. Besides, indoor pond makes sense of being close to the environment, combining with large trees reduces the temperature of the wind blowing into the house.
