The Shelter is a private residence designed by Nha4 Architects in 2015. The home is located in Thai Hoa, Nghe An, Vietnam, and covers an area of 753 square feet. “The Shelter” locates in a low-land annually flooded, a rural area of Nghe An province, Vietnam. The purpose of project is fundamentally to combine a shelter in a high level to avoid the annual flood while still maintain the daily memorable space of owner. A stone foundation was constructed as high as the maximum flooding level. An open-space is towards the existing garden. The appearance of “The Shelter” is a symbiotic unity with the old house.
