Veil of Terracotta
Project type
Residence
Location
Vietnam
Area
80m2
Veil of Terracotta is a deeply personal residential renovation, the childhood home of the founder of The Illuminist Concepts, reimagined as a quiet dialogue between memory, material, and time.
Rooted in familiarity yet shaped by maturity, the project transforms a modest townhouse into a contemporary sanctuary where light, shadow, and ventilation define daily life. The terracotta veil acts as both protection and expression: filtering light, softening the urban edge, and creating a layered relationship between interior and exterior.
Scheduled for completion in 2027, Veil of Terracotta reflects a return to origins — a reinterpretation of home through architectural restraint, emotional continuity, and a renewed respect for climate, craft, and lived experience.
