Living close to nature, respecting the environment, and cherishing nature has been a tradition passed down from our ancestors since ancient times when homes were surrounded by lush trees and gardens. Coupled with the concept of setback, providing cool and shaded areas, all contribute to creating an ideal living space for the house.
Thanks to the encompassing greenery, the house exists within a serene natural environment. Sunlight is cleverly filtered through layers of foliage, ensuring that the interior space remains cool and pleasant.
Continuing with that idea, Mộc House - the home of a young couple - is built in Phu Tho province, Vietnam. The design of Mộc House follows the simplest approach, arranging geometric shapes to provide a solution for a completely open living space that connects harmoniously with nature and the neighboring community. Mộc House is created by arranging functional blocks around voids and trees, and its exterior is designed to be open, allowing for ample exposure to natural light, greenery, and the sky.
The sustainable use of resources and optimizing energy consumption also plays a crucial role in this lifestyle. Energy-saving measures such as utilizing natural light instead of electric lights during the day or harnessing natural wind for cooling the space are given priority.
Moc House, despite being a small type of townhouse, is located on a corner plot in an unplanned residential area, making its land shape different from the typical square-shaped subdivided townhouses. After conducting a site survey, we discovered that the location has several advantages, primarily the favorable climate due to the presence of mature trees surrounding the area and the proximity to a long water body on the northern side of the plot. The only drawback we identified was the western orientation of the land. Taking advantage of the site's strengths and addressing its weaknesses, we designed setbacks on the western side and planted trees to create shaded areas, reducing heat radiation from direct sunlight. The glass panels are strategically positioned on the northern side to provide views of the surrounding neighborhood landscape while carefully calculating their placement to avoid direct sunlight exposure.
The system of vertical slat fences from the yard combined with the garden brings a sense of uniqueness while maintaining an open and inviting atmosphere, connecting with the neighboring village within the residential area.
