Set on a slice of country carved into the hillside in Ciudad Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam, this beautiful timber-clad structure is one of iii-holiday homes designed to take total advantage of the bounding main views. The other ii houses are clad in stone and respectively glass, the choice of materials giving each one a unique identity. The Timber House was designed by studio MM++ architects and completed in 2018. The architects predictable the fact that the panoramic views toward the ocean might become obstructed by future constructions and designed the house in such a way to allow information technology to optimize the viewing experience. They did this by raising the business firm on a platform and giving it a vertical spatial arrangement.

It houses the outset floor of the house, with ii-bedroom suites. Big louvers offer information technology privacy without completely blocking the natural light or views. The social area includes the usual combination of living room, kitchen and dining expanse and highlights the panoramic views while also creating a seamless connection between the indoor and the outdoor.
