Louis House

House-building notes

The home-building journey of Văn, Như & Louis 🏡

This is the journey of Văn, Như and our baby Louis as we build our family's first home — a warm and cozy nest, a place we long to come back to every day.

We love the rustic charm of natural materials, the greenery tucked into every little corner and the early sunlight streaming through the windows. A simple, welcoming home that carries our family's own touch.

This site keeps a record of our journey, from the first days of preparation, with MM++ Architects and the Butecco construction team alongside us, to the day the whole family officially moves into our new home.

The notes and questions are arranged in 3 ways: by topic, by construction sequence and by area. Pick whichever suits you; all three hold the same notes.
