MCHU Villa by MAS Architecture
Located in Da Nang, Vietnam, MCHU Villa was designed in 2023 by MAS Architecture. This house prioritizes privacy while connecting nature and creating space for interaction with nature and family. The proposal offers a solution to develop a personalized lifestyle that balances living indoors and outdoors, with open fronts and backs, communal spaces for children’s families and private bedrooms for grandparents, with all areas connected through green spaces and open voids.
MCHU Villa in Da Nang, Vietnam
This villa is located in a new urban area along Da Nang river. The land is approached from the west, an area of 300 m2 (3,229 square feet), together with a special position of opening space behind the house. The owner wishes to build a completely comfortable living space for his extended family in the future, and bring a value that connects all members in many generations.
Designing a Family Home That Connects Generations
This position has opened up a way for us to develop new ideas to optimize the experiences of our clients. From the building concept of privacy separating between outside and inside and of open space between front and back, we are creating out a place to return, to “recharge energy”, to be able to roam in this house.
Living Space on the Top Floor
The overall solution is raising the common living space to the 2nd floor to open the connection with landscape behind the house, this solution helps separate the motor traffic accessing the house from internal traffic, contemporary creating the almost completely separated privacy from the west sunshine and noise in front of the house.
Creating Natural Ventilation and Privacy
The architectural block is separated and connected by a traffic corridor, with open spaces inside and outside the house, creating natural ventilation into common living spaces. Green layers including trees and water are also developed under this connection that make family members enjoy nature through spatial connection points and bring members closer together.
Central Kitchen and Bedroom Views
The kitchen on the 2nd floor is considered the central point of common activities that covers adjacent spaces such as swimming pool, living room, mezzanines and traffic corridors. The private spaces of bedrooms on the 3rd floor are also designed with views and large loggias facing the central point.
Aluminium Louvers and Exposed Concrete Walls
The outside aluminum louver/slat system combines with the exposed concrete wall to create a solution to adjust the direction of sunlight and natural ventilation. It also solves the privacy problem of outside and inside views.
Personalised Lifestyle and Privacy
We strongly believe in the philosophy of building a personalized lifestyle, promoting privacy and always looking inward. So that we can experience a balanced life in the midst of increasingly crowded urban areas.
