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.

No glass box shower enclosure
No glass box enclosure around the shower area.
Shower, taps and lavabo
Shower, taps and lavabo that are neat, pretty and easy to replace; plan all in-wall water lines for the future in advance. Built-in lavabo, flip-up cover. The architect suggests brands - looks are what matter most.
Space for soap and shampoo
A tidy place for soap and shampoo.
Bathroom sockets
Bathroom sockets that are waterproof, enough for: smart toilet, towel dryer (optional), anti-fog mirror heating pad / mirror, hair dryer, essential oil diffuser...
Mirror and mirror light
Mirror and mirror light: show the face clearly, look good, decorative - the mirror does not need to be perfect, slightly artistic.
Relaxing atmosphere
Relaxing atmosphere: ivory + wood colours; greenery; artistic decor (paintings, textured paint...).
Question
Foot rest / seat bench in the shower
Should a foot rest / seating platform be built for showering? Good for the elderly, but not sure it suits young people.
