Vietnamese architect Vo Trong Nghia originally designed the house for an affluent artisanal family that produces high-quality ceramic products.

The ceramic cloak protects the house from the sun during the summer and from the harsh wind in the winter, with the holes ensuring that the house still enjoys plenty of natural light.

Large gaps allow the trees and plants from the elevated gardens to burst through the terracotta-coloured façade.

Architect Vo Trong Nghia hopes that the personality and heritage of Bat Trang craft village is evident in the site’s architecture. In an effort to do this, he decided to wrap the property in a wall made of perforated red clay ceramic tiles that he commissioned to be produced in the village.
