23o5 studio's tinted veranda playfully colorizes the 'loc house' in vietnam

vietnam-based architecture firm 23o5 studio was commissioned by family to create loc house in ho chi minh city — the space’s intention is to connect the family members’ activities together. the house’s common area features a small courtyard roofed by a veranda, where the children can enjoy the open space.

the house’s quirky windows are asymmetrical 

additionally, 23o5 studio’s colorful veranda casts wavy silhouettes on the wood clad floor. the house’s character then becomes an organic part of the environment, along with the plethora of greenery decorating the rooms. the architects intentionally left the open space untouched in order to facilitate communication between each other.

the sectioned roof casts an array of shadows, giving character to the house
