Nha Xuan Tay is gently perched atop a low hill in Xuan Tay commune, offering uninterrupted views toward the distant Gia Lao Mountain, roughly 8 kilometers away as the crow flies.

This elevated position not only provides visual access to the surrounding natural landscape but also allows the house to engage with prevailing breezes and changing light conditions throughout the day, reinforcing its strong dialogue with the site’s rural character.

Nha Xuan Tay is situated on a gentle hill in Xuan Tay commune, with expansive views toward Gia Lao Mountain, approximately 8 kilometers away in a straight line.

Xuan Tay House is gently perched atop a low hill in Xuan Tay commune, offering uninterrupted views toward the distant Gia Lao Mountain, roughly 8 kilometers away as the crow flies.

This elevated position not only provides visual access to the surrounding natural landscape but also allows the house to engage with prevailing breezes and changing light conditions throughout the day, reinforcing its strong dialogue with the site’s rural character.

With Nha Xuan Tay, we aimed to create a modest, nature-connected home —one that emphasizes atmospheric architecture through minimal materials, simple construction, and minimal interior decoration.

Dong Nai bricks and tiles
A small internal courtyard is placed at the heart of the house —a playground for children (they can climb out directly from their bedroom window)

At Nha Xuan Tay, Dong Nai bricks and tiles create a warm, breathable envelope suited to the tropical climate. A central courtyard, both a playful space and a passive cooling core, channels breezes through the home. These elements reflect G+ Architects’ values of local material use, climate sensitivity, and human-centered design.

The veranda plays a vital role in Nha Xuan Tay. It appears in multiple layers, each adapting to a different function: outside -interstitial -inside
