Earthenware House is a renovation project of a narrow tube house located in Lái Thiêu—a region known for its Southern Vietnamese ceramic craft tradition dating back to the 18th century. The homeowner, a building contractor and craftsman, wanted to retain the original structure while integrating nature, light, and artisanal textures to nurture daily creative inspiration. We approached the design as if shaping a piece of fired clay. The house is formed by three interconnected volumes, reminiscent of three clay pots embracing one another, solid yet earthy, raw yet harmonious. A rooftop terrace was added to accommodate informal gatherings under the open sky, echoing the communal lifestyle of the region. Greenery was introduced in a way that makes the house feel as though it has grown from the soil itself. To express the tactile essence of terracotta, we selected materials such as ceramic bricks, reclaimed wood, raw steel, and developed a new wall finish made from local clay mixed with cement and additives – evoking the feel of fired earth while adapting to the local climate. Interior details were handcrafted by the owner – from ceramic handles to recycled-material furniture – making the home a deeply personal dialogue between past and present, nature and people, culture and sustainable architecture.
