36 Blue/white
This house explores several design ideas at one time to make up an interesting composition that is held together through the blue/white colors. It is my favorite in this collection although the detailing is not as deftly handled as some of the other better crafted houses. Notice that the ladder (not a normal element on the front of Sài Gòn houses) pinches narrower in the middle -- I wouldn't want to have to scramble down that ladder in an emergency. Call it a decorative element.
