The Dom-Ino project reimagines a neoclassical villa by transforming it into an open, multifunctional space that facilitates a deeper connection between the community and the Saigon River. By removing walls and partitions, the architects created a structure defined by open floor plates, a lightweight frame, and sloped verandas, reminiscent of Le Corbusier's Dom-ino system. Elements like a curved roof clad in rattan and a vibrant spiral staircase enhance both aesthetics and functionality, while thoughtful landscaping enriches the riverfront experience and reinforces the bond between architecture and nature.
The project transformed a neoclassical villa into an open structure that reconnects architecture, the river, and the community by removing walls and partitions.
Three key elements define the reorganization of the structure: open floor plates, a lightweight frame, and sloped verandas, reflecting Le Corbusier’s design principles.
The gently curved roof and rattan cladding soften the steel frame, introducing tactile contrasts, while a blue spiral staircase serves as a sculptural focal point.
The design preserves and enriches vegetation, creating shaded pockets that enhance the spatial experience and symbolize the renewed connection between people and the river.
