The River House is positioned in the suburbs of Hanoi, spanning three stories with sweeping views of the Red River. The homeowner requested effective sound insulation and full enclosure on the front while the rear of the house remains entirely open to embrace the river vista.

​

The interiors present a quiet, sophisticated dialogue between architecture and nature. Rooted in a refined yet understated modernism, the language of the home prioritizes calm, clarity, and material honesty. Natural light plays a central role in shaping the interiors. Windows are carefully placed to frame views, wash walls with soft daylight, and animate surfaces throughout the day. 

​

Crucially, the interiors rather than imposing a style, its responds to site, climate and light. This sensitivity is most evident in the way interior spaces open outward, through framed views blurring the line between inside and outside. The house becomes a vessel for stillness and retreat, combination of both human scale and natural rhythms.

​

The River House exemplifies a thoughtful balance of function and feeling, where restraint becomes richness and simplicity becomes depth. With a refined material palette and thoughtful spatial design, the interior offers a sense of comfort and permanence that feels both nurturing and timeless.
