Tube house

Tube houses (Vietnamese: nhà ống) are a vernacular architectural form of shophouse endemic to Vietnam, characterized by their narrow width and multistory structure.^[1][2] Common throughout the country, tube houses have proliferated as a result of limited building space and property taxation policies assessing only the first floor width of homes.^[3] In Hanoi, tube houses originated at the end of the 19th century.^[4][5][6]
