23o5 Studio is an architecture firm based in HCMC, Vietnam known for its attention to detail, customization and user experience. One of the most recent projects, Quiin House 2, was built in a densely populated residential area in China, surrounded by three- and four-story buildings. The design of the space is based on a careful analysis of the microclimatic conditions, ensuring proper ventilation and lighting for the activities that take place inside. In such a small area, creating a structure that fulfills all the required functions but also has a certain personality and difference from its neighbors is a complex challenge. Transparency and minimalism have been used with great care to ensure a seamless and comfortable flow of activities. The Chinese cultural reference is reflected in some furnishings and in the softness of the arches, elements that are constantly repeated throughout the space.

The light has been arranged slowly, according to the zones that directly influence and separate the space into components of light, material, silence and temperature, giving the scene a sense of peace and familiarity with the environment. The atmosphere recalls the traditional spaces of Asian homes, creating an atmosphere of tranquility that invites reflection and contact with oneself.
