Wood On The Wall - A Prefabricated Holiday Home With Country House Charm


A tree house with a difference - this is how the project of the talented architects of D12 Design can be described. The prefabricated house scores not only with a beautiful location and stylish façade design with glass - also inside the villa turns out to be a quiet beauty. Its high, wood-paneled ceiling, the solid floor, the charming interior in modern country house style provide a feel-good atmosphere. Incidentally, the natural material is present everywhere in the interior - the wood on the wall, for example, creates a seamless transition between the living and sleeping areas and completes the home.

Wood on the wall - the prefab house of D12 scores with a stylish façade design

The architects of D12 Design were tasked with completing a holiday home for a couple. The property is located deep in a forest area in Vietnam - the beautiful nature with tall deciduous and coniferous trees inspired the architects to a modern building with an abundant glazed façade. At the same time, the sloping terrain posed a great challenge. All the more - the builders set the target of an environmentally friendly construction. The only possible solution in this case was the prefabricated house - made of several panels, which are then only assembled on site. The architects deliberately chose low weight materials per square meter and built the house on steel beams.
It consists of two volumes - both face the forest and have access to the natural stone terrace with concrete garden pond. There, the family can entertain friends or relax at the weekend under the cooling shade of tall trees. As far as the façade is concerned, the single-storey villa is above all practically designed. A pitched roof successfully dissipates the rainwater, the abundantly glazed south west and east side let plenty of sunlight and fresh air in the living and sleeping area. Blinds provide opaque cotton curtains. The exterior walls are cleaned and painted with water-repellent facade paint. In addition, the house is protected from the nearby trees from the strong sun and wind.
The absolute highlight in the outdoor area is certainly the safety net that successfully replaces the balcony. It is definitely a sustainable alternative, because in this construction, the trees that grow in front of the house have been preserved. Yet another key advantage is the low weight of the net. It is accessible from both the living room and the bedroom. Floor-to-ceiling sliding sliding doors connect seamlessly inside and out, allowing residents to truly enjoy the convenient location of the house in the midst of nature.

Wood on the wall, on the ceiling and on the floor - the natural material as a connecting element in the interior

The interior also impresses with a simple but very stylish aesthetic - the narrow and long living area is divided into three zones - a small reading corner in front of the window form red floor lamp, designer armchair with soft cotton upholstery and a wooden chest of drawers. Native houseplants create a cozy ambience. Right next to the sitting area is a handwoven stool, a glass coffee table and a three-seater sofa bed. The shaggy rug in trendy anthracite color visually separates this area from the reading corner. The architects have designed the house with the idea of the highest living comfort - and according to the needs of the young couple, the living area is equipped with a small block kitchen.
The kitchen landscape is made of light-colored wood and blends in harmoniously with the overall picture - wood acts as a connecting element and is present on the ceiling as well as on the walls and on the floor. The grain of the natural material simply does not let go of the eyes and gives the interior a charming country house character.
The bedroom is puristically furnished with a double bed, small desk and chair. The house can easily accommodate up to four people. So the couple can invite 2 more friends. So nothing stands in the way of pleasant evenings outdoors. It is the perfect weekend house in the middle of nature - comfortable and stylish at the same time, equipped with everything you need (air conditioning, fridge and on request - TV). The costs are also within reasonable limits, since the house is anyway prefabricated in a hall anyway. In this way, it is possible to stick to the budget set at the beginning.
The house in Vietnam is therefore definitive proof of the numerous advantages of prefabricated houses, especially in protected, hard to reach areas. In addition, the modern design offers other advantages - the manageable costs, the numerous design options, the low weight, the quick installation (it usually takes place during a weekend). But the architects at D12 Design even went a step further - they integrated a safety net into the project and did not have to cut down the trees around the house. A thought-out, environmentally friendly concept that promotes nature conservation.
