Amid the increasingly hectic rhythm of urban life, the demand for a living space that is modern, minimal yet fully equipped and emotionally rich is becoming clearer than ever. A modern style villa is not just a passing trend, but a statement of lifestyle: free, profound, and deeply personal.
Modern style villa townhouse designs are not as monotonous as typical tube houses, and they do not require as much land as large garden villas. The blend between the form of a townhouse and a villa creates a distinctive appeal for these urban villas.
At 3A Signature, we call this a contemporary way of living where architecture walks hand in hand with lifestyle.
A New Definition Of Modern Style Villas
A modern style villa is a refined combination between multi story townhouses and traditional villas. With façade widths often ranging from 6 to 10 meters, these projects are designed following a philosophy of simplified forms, optimized functionality, and seamless connection with nature.
This type of modern style villa is usually built on plots smaller than those of garden villas, yet still fully meets the key criteria and functions of a beautiful, high standard villa.
Unlike repetitive tube houses, modern style villa townhouse projects break away from rigid templates thanks to:
- Clear, defined forms with a free yet logical composition
- Open spaces that connect interior and exterior areas
- Contemporary materials such as glass, raw concrete, and black steel, harmonized with greenery and water features
The villa does not need to be overly large, but it should be spacious enough to breathe, to welcome sunlight, and for each family member to find their own private zone.
Architectural Character Of Modern Style Villas – Forms, Light And Materials
A modern style villa emphasizes clear lines that are understated yet full of character. At 3A Signature, every straight line has a purpose, and every curve carries emotion.
A recognizable feature of modern style villa townhouse projects is a relatively modest façade accompanied by a compact garden. Nevertheless, the project still satisfies key criteria: a generous building area, a distinctive design language that avoids the rigid look of tube houses, and a unified style between interior and exterior.
Today, modern style villa townhouse designs are a top choice for families owning urban plots of reasonable size because of the way forms, light and materials are handled. This design model satisfies three important criteria: suitable for the urban context, aligned with contemporary trends, and financially reasonable.
Simple Architectural Forms With Emphasis On Straight Lines
Instead of ornate decoration, a modern style villa uses square and rectangular blocks, or asymmetrical geometric compositions, to form a sculptural layout that is both minimalist and dynamic.
A modern style villa is sketched through an emphasis on forms and lines, creating an overall composition that is sharp and confident yet open and creative. Curved lines are thoughtfully introduced to soften the overall look, adding fluidity and a distinctive visual accent to the villa.
Contemporary Materials – Creating Familiar Yet Vivid Tactility
A modern style villa often applies familiar materials such as glass doors, steel, metal, concrete, stone and wood to create rich material textures. At the same time, smart materials are prioritized to save energy and bring lasting, environmentally friendly value.
- Large format tempered glass expands views and maximizes daylight
- Black steel and raw concrete create a sense of solidity and neutrality, well suited to the aesthetic preferences of modern elites
- Stone, natural wood and greenery keep the building from feeling “cold” and instead bring warmth and vibrancy
Open Spaces – Where Life Flows Freely
A common feature in a modern style villa is the extensive use of large glass doors as a primary design element. Oversized glass panels or sliding doors not only optimize views but also enhance the reception of natural light.
We do not design spaces simply to look beautiful, but for people to live well.
A modern style villa is a place where life flows naturally. Spaces are not divided rigidly by solid partitions but are organized using architectural techniques such as floor level changes, layered lighting, and material transitions.
Living room, kitchen, dining area and garden together form one continuous composition where natural light and breeze act as a conductor guiding the experience.
Open planning provides ventilation and a stronger connection to nature. This is an optimal design solution for both detached modern style villas and garden villas.
Light – An Invisible Yet Powerful Material
Light is not just a technical factor. It is an invisible architectural material. In a modern style villa, light is carefully orchestrated as part of the design:
- Skylights, large windows and light slots keep spaces animated
- Indirect lighting is handled via recessed coves, wall washes and timber slats to create depth
- Shadow play from trees becomes a living focal element that changes throughout the day
Harmonious Connection Between Interior And Exterior – Where Nature Becomes Part Of Life
Continuity between exterior and interior is critical in a modern style villa. We use a neutral palette of whites, beiges, soft greys and warm wood tones so that all areas feel cohesive. Materials, lighting and greenery do not merely complement each other; together they shape the emotional atmosphere of the home.
At 3A Signature, each project is designed according to visual logic and natural circulation flows. Whether it is sun oriented timber louvers or a green buffer veranda, everything is carefully considered to encourage interaction between people and their surroundings.
Modern style villa designs often adopt a consistent color scheme from façade to interior. Combined with open planning and carefully arranged furniture, this creates an airy living space where all areas of the house are harmoniously connected.

Why Modern Style Villas Are Increasingly Popular
Modern style villa townhouse projects are favored not only for their contemporary look but also because they allow owners to express their personal taste and lifestyle. Although not overly elaborate, these villas remain highly desirable thanks to several key advantages:
Strong Connection With Nature – A Modern Style Blended With Tropical Greenery
When designing a modern style villa, architects often regard outdoor areas as an integral extension of living space. Carefully curated green spaces become visual highlights, protect health, create fresh air for family members and naturally purify and regulate the microclimate
Reasonable Building Area
The building footprint of a modern style villa townhouse is not as limited as a tube house, yet not as vast as a large estate villa. Typical villa plots range from 90 to 150 square meters with façade widths of around 6 to 8 meters. Because of this, modern style villas are common in densely populated urban areas such as Ho Chi Minh City, where land use needs to be optimized.
Minimalist Design For Optimal Modernity
Modern style villa townhouse designs are increasingly popular thanks to their youthful, dynamic appearance created by innovative geometric forms and an open spatial layout. The modern style villa removes overly ornate details and instead uses new finishing materials and design elements to create clean lines that align with contemporary lifestyle trends.
Light And Natural Ventilation
Unlike many other housing types that can be flexible in orientation, townhouse villas are often constrained by the direction of the plot. Because of this, architects must handle daylighting and ventilation carefully to ensure comfortable, airy interiors and good feng shui.
Skylights, double height voids and large glass openings are ideal solutions to bring daylight in and distribute fresh air naturally throughout a modern style villa.
Emphasis On Functionality And The Owner’s Personal Imprint
Even on a modest plot, a modern style villa townhouse still offers all essential functions of a standard villa, including: living room, kitchen, dining area, bedrooms, bathrooms, showers, dressing rooms and balconies.
Integrating Smart Technology In Design
Integrating smart devices into a modern style villa significantly enhances comfort and energy efficiency, fulfilling the demands of contemporary living.
A modern style villa should not display technology ostentatiously but allow it to blend in subtly:
- Control lighting, temperature and security via smartphone or voice commands
- Automated blinds, door sensors, air purification systems and smart irrigation
- A unified user experience across the villa, without clutter from exposed wiring or bulky devices
We call this technology that serves life rather than controlling i
Refined Use Of Artificial Lighting
In addition to maximizing natural light, investing in thoughtfully designed artificial lighting contributes greatly to a warm and sophisticated atmosphere in a modern style villa.

Chi phí thi công thiết kế biệt thự phố hiện đại khá hợp lý và tiết kiệm hơn nhiều so với các mẫu biệt thự thông thường, dao động trong khoảng từ 1,5 – 2 tỷ. Đây là mức giá vừa phải, phù hợp với điều kiện tài chính của nhiều gia chủ.
Reasonable Costs
Construction costs for a modern style villa townhouse are generally more economical than for larger conventional villas, typically ranging from about 1.5 to 2 billion VND. This is a reasonable budget suited to the financial capacity of many homeowners.
At 3A Signature, we do not simply design a villa. We collaborate with our clients to craft a distinctive way of living:
- For owners who love nature: we expand gardens, integrate timber louvers, water features and buffer verandas so that nature becomes part of everyday life, not just something viewed from behind glass.
- For art lovers: we create spaces for display, accent lighting and emotionally engaging compositions so that every corner can become a source of inspiration, like a living gallery.
- For technology enthusiasts: the modern style villa becomes an intelligent organism where smarthome systems manage light, sound and climate along with daily habits, almost invisibly and with elegant subtlety.
Each modern style villa is like a living symphony where the architect plays the conductor, but the true melody always comes from the owner.
Design Process For Modern Style Villas At 3A Signature
At 3A Signature, designing a modern style villa is not just about composing striking forms. It is an artistic journey where people, nature and architecture are in constant dialogue. We believe every modern style villa is a living work of art that deeply reflects the owner’s lifestyle and personality.
Below are ten steps in our modern style villa design process, structured like a harmonious symphony:
I. People – The Origin Of Every Design
Listening And Personalization
Every client is a unique world. Our architects begin with in depth conversations to understand lifestyle, daily habits, emotional needs and aesthetic preferences. From there, we shape living spaces as if tailored specifically for that individual.
II. Nature – The Land As A Design Partner
Site And Environmental Study
We carefully analyze topography, climate, wind direction, sunlight, native plant systems and local cultural context. A modern style villa should not simply stand on the land, but live with it and move in tune with nature.
III. Architecture – The Journey Of Creating A Living Legacy
Concept Design
The first layout is sketched according to view lines, sun paths, prevailing winds and circulation patterns. Open, airy spaces are organized as an emotional journey, forming the foundation for the modern style villa language.
Architectural 3D Visualization
The project begins to “tell its story” through 3D renderings where massing, materials, light and greenery blend together. Every viewpoint expresses a spirit of modern living, solidity and character.
Interior Design Direction
From the architectural shell, we move inward, defining the primary color palette, materials, spatial rhythm, lighting and emotional tone. All components are orchestrated consistently to express the owner’s identity.
Interior 3D Design
Each room, from living area and kitchen to bedrooms, is modeled in 3D. The space is no longer just a drawing but a direct living experience, allowing clients to sense their future modern style villa visually and emotionally.
Technical Documentation
From concept to construction, technical drawings covering architecture, structure, M&E and interior details are completed with clarity and precision. Everything is transparent, from materials and dimensions to detailed cost breakdowns.
IV. Execution – Bringing Design To Life
Project Cost Estimation
We prepare detailed cost estimates for each category (shell works, finishes, interior, etc.), ensuring accuracy and efficiency while preserving the architectural spirit of the modern style villa.
Construction And Supervision
The entire construction process is supervised by the lead architect. Every detail, from metal joints and wall finishes to decorative lighting, is executed with precision and high aesthetic standards.
V. Preservation – Architecture As A Living Organism
Maintenance And Periodic Care
We do not stop at handover. Periodic maintenance packages including material inspection, plant care and equipment servicing help the modern style villa maintain its beauty, spirit and long term value.
