Naman Villa

Naman Villa is a residential project on the famous Non Nuoc Beach in Da Nang, Vietnam. The development comprises 40 villas in four types, A through D; the design presented here is for the Type A villa, developed jointly in architecture and interior by lead architect Nguyen Hoang Manh, with interiors by Steven Baeteman and Truong Trong Dat. The brief is a high-quality, elegant and luxurious beach house that still feels like the coast. The planning strategy is deliberately narrow and dense, so the design must maximize privacy while creating natural garden rooms for each villa. Every villa is multi-dimensionally landscaped, with a private pool and tropical garden. The bedrooms are raised to create privacy and open views, while the lower volume integrates living, kitchen, dining and an additional bedroom, connecting pool and landscape. Water features are placed on the roof and within the lower volume to cool the house and add aesthetic value; density is mitigated by giving each villa its own light-gathering garden, wrapped in green. The design philosophy is to use internal space and external landscape to deliver a luxurious family feel. Local materials are chosen to reduce transport cost and budget, and the simple, smooth forms keep construction economical. The house is designed to withstand hurricane conditions while maintaining natural cross-ventilation. Project details are limited in the source material.
