하노이의 전형적인 집들 가운데 하나였던 이 곳은 생동감 있게 골목 전체와 조화를 이루면서도 휴식을 취할 수 있는 그런 공간으로 만들 고자 건축가는 의도했다. 이 곳은 오랫동안의 해외 생활을 마무리하고 고향으로 돌아온 젊은 남성을 위한 공간이었는데, 그는 프라이빗한 공간이면서도 열린 공간이길 원했고 느긋하게 휴식을 취할 수 있는 시간을 누리면서도 친구들과 평화로운 공간을 공유하고 싶어하기도 했다. 또한 건축주의 절친인 그의 강아지를 위한 공간도 필요했으니 개가 편안하게 지낼 수 있는 공간이 필요했고 이 둘이 함께 자연을 누릴 정원도 필수였다.
이러한 모두를 갖춘 집을 만들기 위해 건축가는 자유로우면서도 열린 디자인을 제공하기로 했으니, 기능의 경계를 모두 제거하고 조용하면서도 열린 그 모든 것이 충분히 갖춘 작은 집이 탄생하게 되었다.
If we consider the whole street as a lively symphony that mesmerizes people with its rapidly rhythm, then the house would be a rest creating that small but soulful gap, just enough for people to drown into the life's melody.
The house in a typical Hanoi alley was designed for a young man who have just came back to hometown after a long time living abroad. He wanted a house with private space but also open, a place where he can have some nice relaxing time and a place he can share with friends as a peaceful hideout. This client also has a best friend living with - his dog, so this house must be a friendly space for the dog, must have a garden for both to enjoy nature.

Based on the needs of the client and the location of site plan, the architect offered a free and open design, all the boundaries of functions are disappeared. The house is quiet but open - a small house with just enough of everything.
In a crowded and busy city like Hanoi, people take advantage of every single area they have. This house and its garden stand humbly among all the blocks of raising buildings. Instead of using all the land or keeping a indoor space for ourselves, the house stands back to offer the whole alley a green space, a small but precious gap in a 'inch of land is an ounce of gold' urban. Front gate is built by alternated bricks which created the sparse fence separated the house from the street but at the same time shared the green space with neighbors.
The plan area is only 40 sqm. Inside, the whole space is connected even when there are no walls to fixed the functions for any space. Light and ventilations are bringed into the house in general and particulary for each space. The architect chose natural and rustic materials for the house to bring the close and comfortable feelings, but still quality for a simple lifestyle.
