Houses: Vo Trong Nghia & The Work of VTN Architects

Rejecting the idea that green architecture is merely planting trees on buildings, our architecture provides an eco-system for people to connect with nature. We merge natural energy and natural materials to produce net-zero buildings for society. Therefore, trees are used not as decoration but as an essential component of our houses. They interact with the buildings to limit water and flooding, to filter light and sounds. We recycle water. We bath our spaces with natural light and fresh air provided by natural ventilation. Hence, our houses do not require air-conditioning and have minimal energy consumption. We apply solar panel on our roofs with a reasonable price. Even though our houses are artificial creations, they become an eco-system, welcoming birds, insects, and animals to live side by side with humans. See more
