Text description provided by the architects. Nestled among dense four-story buildings, Linh Nam House emerges as an architectural enigma, accessible only through a 1.5-meter-wide alleyway. Harmoniously integrated into its surroundings, the project creates a unique "urban valley" within the evolving cityscape.Save this picture!In the bustling rhythm of urban life, rooftops are often forgotten, but the Linh Nam House reversed that logic. By maintaining a modest height and utilizing adjacent boundary walls, the rooftop transforms into an expansive elevated space. Bathed in sunlight and breeze, this area becomes a stage for family memories—a playground for children to freely explore and a serene setting for parents to gather during intimate outdoor gatherings, infused with warmth and connection.Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!The architectural space is meticulously crafted to allow natural light to permeate deeply. Moreover, the rays of the day seep through open structures, gently caressing unique material surfaces before lingering in hidden corners, as if each space in the house tells its own story. Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!Save this picture!In imagination, when the strong overhead light becomes the protagonist,  the house transforms into a mystical cavern.
