Architecture. ConceptMODEL. Stacking Green house covered in plants by Vo Trong Nghia. A dozen layers of concrete planters create a vertical garden on the facade of this house in Ho Chi Minh City by Vietnamese architects Vo Trong Nghia. Built for a couple and one of their mothers, the building is 20m deep but just 4m wide, typical of the narrow but long 'tube houses' common in Vietnam. Concrete planters span between the side walls to cover the front and back facades, and are spaced according to the height of the plants. At the rear of the house, an exterior staircase is positioned between the planters and the back wall, while glazing separates the front of the house from the plants. Automatic irrigation pipes fitted inside the planters allow for easy watering and maintenance. A rooftop garden provides shelter from the noise and pollution of the streets below. Inside the house, there are few partition walls in order to maximise views of the green facades and encourage ventilation.

The rooflights also allow natural light to penetrate. Photographs are by Hiroyuki Oki. Explore, Collect and Source architecture & interiors.
