Located in Hoa Binh province. The project encompasses a series of new pavilions that loosely enclose by these neighbor new version of French Colonial villas style . Treated as a found object, perceptions of the original building are framed by the new interventions, which reference its scale, proportion and materials. The pavilions are articulated as autonomous rectilinear sculptural volumes, but in turn frame views back to the villa, refocusing attention on its form and details. The primary claddings of the new buildings—timber shingles and vertical slats—draw attention to the subordinate use of the same materials in the original architecture local, there utilized only on the front gable end and window shading, and on the sub-floor skirt respectively. The exterior spaces to the sides and front and back of the property are divided into room-sized courtyards by the new building volumes and the swimming pool look down to the hills and the pond next by to the traditional well, treated as another architectural volume—lending exterior spaces the quality of interiors, and vice versa.
