Vietnam's 'Urban Jungle' House Wins 4 International Architecture Awards
The house is 252 square meters and located in a residential area that is near a green park, with trees planted from the front of the house to the inside
Architect Vo Trong Nghia and his team has combined green trees into his design, which turned the house into an extension of the surrounding environment.

Inside the house, the architectural team “cut” a three-storey square through the diagonal direction of the section, providing natural ventilation and reducing the use of air-conditioning.
In the first floor, the living room blends with the greenery outside. Greenery inhabits every corner of the house, which is built a thick block shape, creating a private and quiet space. Each floor is a mini indoor park. The trees provide a cool shade and blocks the house from the heat or direct sunlight, which lowers the temperature on summer days.

The roof beams casts linear shadows into the house's interiors while allowing natural light into private spaces.
With the cool idea of bringing trees into the house, the project won the Architecture – Environment – New Category of Architizer A+ Awards.
