Alternating Courtyards Enhance Connection
The house boasts a rich history and preserves traditional cultural features of the Lai The village. A key highlight of the architectural design is its system of alternating courtyards, which form a continuous axis from front to back. This layout facilitates the flow of natural light and fresh air throughout the house, creating a harmonious living environment.
Open-Plan Living Space Encourages Intimacy
The open-plan living space seamlessly combines the living room, dining room, and kitchen. This design fosters a warm and intimate atmosphere, perfect for family gatherings. Large sliding doors open along the porch that extends the length of the house, connecting the indoor space to a lush, green garden.

With large windows that invite natural sunlight and wind, the bedrooms create a comfortable and pleasant atmosphere. From their bedroom, parents can gaze out at the green garden, enjoying the tranquil surroundings.
