Hanoi Architect Wins Recognition at Asia Architecture Design Awards

The Ngo (Alley) House (D.O.G House) in Hanoi has been honored as one of the recipients of the Asia Architecture Design Awards (AADA) held in Singapore on July 17.

According to Arch Daily, it is highly essential to create a living space that embraces nature in order to promote balance and tranquility amidst the bustling urban environment, rapid development, and disrupted ecosystem of Hanoi.

The Alley House is a remarkable example of a passive cooling house, designed to preserve the native architecture of the traditional tube house. This unique dwelling maximizes green spaces throughout, from the inviting entrance to the picturesque courtyard and roof garden. The interplay of natural light and wind traps in the alley garden and courtyard creates a refreshingly breezy atmosphere. Additionally, the thoughtfully designed roof garden aids in heat reduction and insulation, enhancing the overall energy efficiency of the building.

This house is a unique retreat that offers a peaceful sanctuary amidst the bustling city. Unlike traditional tube houses that strive to be connected to the main street, this house is designed to create a tranquil garden. Through the strategic use of silence, it effectively controls the noise and chaos of the city, while its green infrastructure beautifully complements the surrounding concrete jungle. The Alley House embodies the current trend of environmental preservation, while also cherishing and preserving both tangible and intangible cultural elements.

The AADA also recognizes other outstanding Vietnamese architecture projects, such as the Mai Chau Culture Resort in Hoa Binh, the Grand Tourane Nha Trang Hotel, Tre Dining in HCM City, and the Xuan Thao Residence in Long An.
