Kha Tu Ngoc and her husband Pham Huy Duc are seen in their two- square- meter house in Ho Chi Minh City on May 2, 2018.

Tucked away in winding alleys, nestled under new condo developments or sandwiched between street food stalls and shops, the tiny houses are easily missed by the unattentive passerby.
