Local studios Ra.atelier and Ngo + Pasierbinki work on the new 'House in Quang Yen' located in Vietnam defined by oversized terracotta tile roof shelters. The space is perfect for hosting large gatherings and for comfortably sleeping as the family has owned by the garden for generations. One side of the garden by the south has a large pond and the north side has two yards that are an extension of the kitchen.
Ngo + Pasierbinki and Pa.atelier explain that "The heart of the old garden was the half-moon pond with mountain miniature, countless bonsai pots, a front flower garden built by the grandfather and a vegetable garden by the grandmother. The new garden is constructed on two new half-moon curves intersecting at two points, shaping a square which is the footprint of the new house in the middle of the site."
