Designed by the studio of Japanese, Vietnam-based architect Shunri Nishizawa, Thong House has the form of a stack of cubes built around a main staircase, the latter acting as the building\u2019s spine and running continuously from the ground level all the way up to the roof garden. Various areas have been laid out around this main axis that offer an alternative to the traditional Vietnamese family lifestyle which comes about mainly through the use of large open spaces without walls, allowing the family to interact and connect in many different ways.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-25776 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure

the floor and floor-to-ceiling rotating windows that open out onto the lush, tropical backyard garden. While a mezzanine overlooking the living room hosts a study and a guest room, above that, a large dining and kitchen area covers the entire first floor, offering ample space for gatherings and socialising. The bedrooms on the second floor above are the house\u2019s most private area, their exteriors covered with carved wooden panels bearing the same leaf motif as the living room floor. Minimally furnished and with generous openings to the neighbourhood and an adjacent park, the house has been rendered mostly in concrete \u2014a material that perfectly matches the shady interior and adds to the project\u2019s contemporary character.<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-3' class='gallery galleryid-25776 gallery-columns-1 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div
