AD9 architects has developed ‘lvs.house’ for a family that wanted all common and personal spaces to be as open as possible in order to create connections as well as easily supervise the activities of their two young children. the project exploits light and air circulation vertically by incorporating a series of skylights and a central atrium, connecting elements of nature with the people living inside. planters with lush greenery as well as small trees are strategically placed in certain parts of the building, further enhancing the relaxing, minimalist atmosphere inside.

‘we aimed for a minimalism approach regarding material usage in this construction, with the hope to revive the core value of basic architecture to bring a better and more positive life to the family,’ notes AD9 architects. the vietnamese architecture office clad the front façade of the house in a perforated metal sheet, which casts intricate shadows during the day while transforming the home into a shimmering lantern at nighttime.
