A Modern And Luxurious Residence Built On The Foundation Of A Childhood Home

By Simona Ganea | Last updated on

The modern and luxurious residence you’re about to see has a lovely story which  started a long time ago when an old home used to occupy this site from District 6 in Vietnam. That house no longer exists, this refined jewel taking its place now. The building stands on the foundation of the old family home, keeping some of the memories alive.  The project was recently completed by Nelo Decor. The new family home offers a total of 600 square meters of living space organized on three floors and shares a special relationship with nature. Its owners wanted it to look refined, sophisticated in a simple and modern manner so the designers gave it full-height windows which welcome the outdoors in, green walls and iconic furniture such as the leather Butterfly chairs.

The ground floor contains a guest room, the kitchen and the dining area and has a direct view towards the swimming pool. The second floor houses two bedroom suites for the family’s two sons and the third floor is where the master bedroom suite is situated. The house has a powerful design inside and out, being built mostly using raw materials such as metal, rough stone and wood.
