Information
The House Y/Z concept addresses the housing crisis and suburban preferences by blending Vietnamese vertical urbanism with American suburban houses. Inspired by the narrow, communal alleyways (“Hem”) in Vietnam, these dwellings create a dense, vertical urban form. Although House Y/Z units are spaced further apart, the shared courtyard serves as a communal space. This design offers single-family homes a choice between a vertical tower and a flat-lying unit, converting a medium fixed lot into a space for indoor and outdoor activities, promoting a denser, quality living environment.
