Passing by one of the most dreamlike streets in Danang – Han Thuyen, you will definitely not regret to spend a few seconds contemplating “The Little House”, which is extremely original, not only by the extraordinary outlook, but also the latent beauty of the house’s interior.

Situated on a prominent corner lot in the Zilker neighborhood of Austin, this Mid-Century inspired home presents the unique opportunity to activate two street elevations while maintaining a sense of scale and character within the neighborhood. An exposed glulam roof structure radiates from a single steel column, wrapping and folding around the corner to create a home with two striking facades. Tucked to the side and back of the lot, the second story is sited to help de-scale the corner and create spectacular vistas of the folded roof and the courtyard below.

On a rugged slope in the hills of Valparaíso, we inserted a dwelling unit under the existing structure of a parking lot, modulating it to the plot of pillars and beams, achieving a gentle adaptation to the original construction. Highlighting the dense structure grid, which was the main call to design the layout, the unit is set into two levels underneath the access level, where the parking slab keeps its original use.
