Nestled in the tranquil landscape of Tinh An, Quang Ngai, Vietnam, this 92m² residence is a striking example of sustainable design that celebrates its natural surroundings. The home's design revolves around a mature Barringtonia asiatica (fish poison tree), which the architects preserved and integrated into the structure, rather than removing it. This thoughtful decision not only highlights the tree’s beauty but also reflects the project's commitment to environmental sustainability and the preservation of local ecosystems.
At the heart of the design is a seamless connection between architecture and nature. The tree, positioned in the living room, serves as a captivating focal point, symbolizing the home’s bond with the natural environment. Its branches stretch through a rectangular opening in the concrete roof, establishing a breathtaking visual link between the indoors and outdoors. This integration invites abundant natural light into the space and facilitates a constant flow of fresh air, creating a healthy, airy atmosphere that promotes both comfort and serenity.
Designed with retired seniors in mind, the house emphasizes accessibility, safety, and ease of movement. Features like wide doorways, minimal steps, and non-slip floors ensure the home is comfortable and secure for older residents. The layout promotes low-maintenance living, with energy-efficient systems that balance sustainability and comfort. A central courtyard garden, nestled between the communal areas, bathroom, and two bedrooms, brings in ample natural light and fresh air, enriching the overall living experience. The courtyard also serves as a vibrant gathering space for grandchildren, offering a dynamic area where family members can play, socialize, and bond in a safe and engaging environment.
The home accommodates both elderly residents and young children, with a step-free design that ensures easy mobility for all. The single-story layout allows each room to open to green spaces, encouraging natural airflow and eliminating the need for air conditioning. Large glass doors dissolve the boundaries between indoor and outdoor spaces, seamlessly connecting the living areas to the lush surroundings. These expansive views of greenery foster a sense of tranquility and reinforce the home’s deep connection with nature, while also allowing natural light and ventilation to flow freely throughout.
The main entrance, positioned on the east side of the house facing the street, strikes a balance between privacy and subtle interaction with the outside world. The façade features an unfinished concrete block wall with recessed glass doors, offering seclusion from the street while allowing clear views from within. The kitchen and dining areas, located near the street, are energized by large glass doors that connect to the outside world. This lively space benefits from abundant natural light, balancing the home’s peaceful interior with an active exterior.
The use of unfinished concrete blocks for most of the walls enhances the home’s rustic, sculptural appeal, harmonizing with the simplicity of the landscape and surrounding greenery. The choice of unburned concrete blocks also reduces the project’s carbon footprint while providing a natural texture that blends seamlessly with the environment.
Inside, a minimalist aesthetic is complemented by locally sourced reclaimed wood, adding warmth and texture to the space. The use of reclaimed materials creates a modern yet serene atmosphere, perfectly aligning with the architect’s vision of tranquility and sustainability. The combination of concrete, reclaimed wood, and nature throughout the design creates a home that feels like a natural extension of the land, rather than a foreign structure.
The architect’s vision for this home is clear: to create a sanctuary that fosters peace, well-being, and a deep connection to nature. Through the integration of the Barringtonia asiatica tree, the thoughtful selection of materials, and a focus on environmental harmony, this home in Quang Ngai stands as a model of sustainable architecture and a peaceful living space for its inhabitants. It’s a testament to the power of design in nurturing both human well-being and environmental stewardship.
