Hội An, Vietnam
Information
Hội An floods. Rather than defend against it, the ground floor is finished in materials that can be hosed down and the living rooms are on the first, which is what the old houses in the quarter have always done.

Scope Of Work
Architectural Planning
Two storeys around a courtyard, with the ground floor deliberately expendable.
Interior Styling
Terracotta, lime wash and rattan, all sourced within the province.
Furniture Specification
Everything on the ground floor lifts or moves. Nothing there is precious.
Lighting & Atmosphere
The courtyard is the light source. The rooms borrow from it through shuttered openings.
