Explore Eden Villa in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, a 2017 masterpiece by DQV.Architects. This modern house marries privacy with nature, offering a retreat for a large family. Spanning three floors, it features an innovative ‘close-outside-open-inside’ design.

The ground floor unites living, dining, and library areas, while the first floor hosts three bedrooms encircling a communal entertainment space. At its core is a sunlit indoor garden, with large sliding windows and timber screens enhancing light and air flow. The second-floor master bedroom overlooks an internal balcony, offering a serene escape. Materials like rough stone, timber, and porcelain highlight the villa’s simplistic elegance and natural harmony.

At the heart of Ho Chi Minh City’s burgeoning urban scene lies “Undefined Living,” a 2021 minimalist apartment by DQV.Architects. Breaking free from the monotony of identical living spaces, this abode is a celebration of asymmetry and wabi-sabi—a concept that finds beauty in imperfection. The designers have reimagined traditional layouts, creating a seamless flow of bright, airy rooms that maximize natural light and foster a connection with the space. From the curved walls that defy convention to the versatile furniture that challenges form and function, Undefined Living is a testament to living simply and authentically in Vietnam’s vibrant metropolis.
