I RESIDENTIAL LANDSCAPE
In the memories of many people, the veranda is not only a transition space between inside and outside of the house, a cover from the sun light, rain but I can catch the cool breeze, but also a place where children sit and wait for their grandmother’s cakes coming back from the market, where mothers pick up vegetables or the family gather to pack cakes for Tet holiday in VietNam. In this house in Tay Ninh, apart from two awnings arranged at the front and back of the house, there are also two other verandas inside the house, surrounded by old fish-scale tiles reused from the old house, creating emotions for this particular space. The home would be interesting on its own if it was built from the stories of the people living in it. The first brick of the house was actually constructed by family members from the moment they told their stories. This is a house for two generations, common accommodation with two bedrooms, living space, kitchen, dining area. The homeowners have the same passion for nature and love simple, rustic things, especially the husband who is also an artistic and romantic soul. They have two lovely little girls who always want to be close to their parents. However, there was a concern about a long narrow house and everyone in the house being separated.
