Nestled in a densely populated and bustling alley in District 10 (HCMC), Nature Curtain House is only 2.2 meters wide.In the context of townhouses being close together, the problem arises when designing house is to solve outside noise, limit visibility from the opposite neighbor’s house, and at the same time bring in natural light and green space.Outside the facade, horizontal concrete windows combine alternating green areas like a large natural curtain shielding the interior space from outside influences.Inside townhouse is the airy space of the living room and kitchen.The ceiling and floor of the living room both use concrete structures to create continuity in the design from outside to inside.The split-floor structure helps make the space larger, and moving the stairs up to the floors is also more reasonable when there are flat breaks.The skylight area not only regulates the wind but also brings natural light from the roof to the ground floor.Light is also reflected through the glass tile railing and sliding glass door.The gaps in the steel ladder also contribute to creating light gaps, naturally eliminating the boredom of the atrium space.Hence, House still full of light even when all the lights are turned off.The first and second floor bedrooms are located in the front area, behind the concrete beams and are completely shielded from outside influences by trees.The 3rd floor is an altar area overlooking the playground, combined with green areas to create a fresh space.

Inside townhouse is the airy space of the living room and kitchen.
