This extraordinary four-story townhouse, designed by AZ85 Studio, is where four families spanning three generations find connection and comfort. Amidst a sea of old-style townhouses in the heart of Phan Rang, Vietnam, the narrow Bread House is boldly distinguished by a unique iron lattice facade, interwoven with lush greenery. From a common living area that’s connected to a quaint backyard on the ground floor to the four master bedrooms on the upper levels and self contained penthouse suite, every square meter has been thoughtfully utilized to fulfill diverse needs. Natural light floods through large windows and a skylight, falling upon crisp white minimalist decor schemes that provide a peaceful haven from the urban environment.

The TV wall has a floating effect, suspended above a low wooden media shelf. A frame TV displays artwork, adding color and interest to the simple white and wood decor palette.

Four wooden dining chairs and a matching dining bench seat 8+ diners in the compact eating area. A modern chandelier loops above the table, creating a bright focal point. Wall lights and uplights illuminate the attached backyard, adding to the atmospheric glow when dinner time rolls around.

The staircase design builds a backbone of warming wood tone through the home. Storage areas are tucked in beneath its treads, constructing useful storage areas for the whole family.

A huge skylight above the stairwell brings a cascade of sunlight. Handblown glass pendant lights tumble through the light-filled void, creating a dramatic, sculptural installation.

Up on the second floor of the townhouse, just off the staircase, an open vanity area rests between a WC on the right and a shower cubicle on the left.

The grandparents room is situated at the rear of the second floor, where it benefits from a secluded wooden terrace area. The outdoor area provides a peaceful relaxation spot for the family elders away from boisterous youngsters and also promotes air circulation. Another master bedroom is located at the front of the second floor, overlooking the street.

The grandparents bedroom is a serene scene. A floating vanity table keeps the floor clear and spacious. A round mirror reflects light from the window.

The gray upholstered bed stands upon a complementary, tonal gray bedroom rug. 3D abstract artwork instills eye-catching texture.

The self-contained top floor also features a small bathroom, a laundry room, a mini kitchen area, and spacious terraces at the front and back.

Green areas are incorporated all around the house, giving the home the ambiance of a mini resort. The greenery conjures feelings of tranquility and calm in its close-knit residents.

Because of the metal shutter component, front terraces become a private and valuable extension of the home.

White decor and warm wood tone accents cleanly define the minimalist living room, where family members congregate for conversation, watching TV, cooking, and meals. A wooden sofa is built into the room perimeter, placing it flush against the staircase to save valuable floor space. A modern wall light accentuates 3D relief art.

The open layout extends when sliding doors are retracted at the rear of the room. Sunlight washes through a wood slatted canopy above a bed of lush green plants. In the kitchen diner, a wooden dining table merges with the central kitchen island to form one streamlined volume.

A second set of glass doors adjoins the parking area. Metal shutters close behind the vehicles, concealing them from the main street without shutting out the daylight.

There are a total of 4 master bedrooms over the 2nd and 3rd floors, and a smaller bedroom in the self contained 4th floor suite. The rooms are decorated with modern accent furniture and abstract bedroom wall art to add bold style and personality.

Two bedroom pendant lights are poised by the pillows to offer reading light. Floating nightstands are on hand for storing reading material.

A comfy chair and side table fashion another inviting reading nook under the light of the window.
