Modern Tropical: Terraced Timber House in Vietnam
Who can resist the aspirational lure of a beautifully designed tropical house? As we head into the darker half of the year in the northern hemisphere, those of us living in colder climates will be doing a lot of daydreaming about warm weather escapes. If you were to mentally construct your modern dream home in a lush, temperate place like Vietnam, it might look a little something like this.
Located in the southeast seaside city of Nha Trang, where winter tends to be dry with a steady temperature around 82 degrees Fahrenheit, “Timber House” by MM++ architects is a luxury getaway with outrageous views of nearby mountains and Nha Trang Bay. One of three vacation villas in a row, the home is carved into the hillside to take full advantage of the scenery.
