This article is more than a year old and may contain information that is out of date. Sorry about that.
This house was built in an old row of terraced properties, next to an apartment built in 1965. The house, in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, was completed in 2014 and is principally used a a holiday home for food lovers.
Traditional Vietnamese window shutters have been used to create a distinctive contemporary facade, and also function as light partitions to define spaces within the property.
