Corner House
June 17, 2020
TOOB STUDIO designed a 5-storey townhouse built in the 2000s at an intersection of Hanoi lively streets for a middle-aged woman.
The street corner is an unconscious interchange of journeys and various individuals that create livable scenery. The house owner, born and raised in Hanoi, likes the daily life that takes place in the area. The architects aimed to build a place where architecture and humans are integrated into this atmosphere. Hence, they came up with an architectural renovation with simple and flexible shapes.
Traditional details such as shutters, closeup wooden doors, purlin structure with tiled roof have been integrated into modernism space in order to create different perceptions from various perspective.
The large surface covering the exterior acts as a protective boundary to ensure the occupant’s privacy. The edges become less solid due to adaptation of visual methods that allow light and sound to go through. Residents are always able to maintain the relationship between inside and outside of the house by the openness of these boundary sections. Thus, the act of opening or closing contributes to diversify and identify the house's apperance.
