TM House is a modern and natural house built in the central region of Vietnam, an area with an extremely harsh climate. In recent years, the El Nino phenomenon has occurred more frequently, and the temperature is gradually increasing and is expected to reach a record high. In the summer, the hot sun combined with dry winds from western Vietnam blowing into the city, along with the urbanization and cementization process, makes the climate here even more extreme. In the summer, you may feel like you are being burned even when you are inside the house. Therefore, the main goal of this project, besides meeting the needs of a family of 8 members, is to minimize the impact of extreme climate phenomena on the users. By utilizing renewable energy sources from nature, creating a living space close to nature, and reducing the amount of emissions throughout the operation process, we aim to reduce energy consumption and contribute to protecting the living environment for future generations.
To achieve this, we created protective layers for the entire house and used many glass doors and windows arranged in a reasonable way to take advantage of light and wind. In addition, we limited the use of environmentally harmful materials, recovered and reused water resources, and dedicated a lot of space for water surfaces, grass fields, and green trees - they are perfect natural materials for absorbing heat radiation. From there, we reduce energy consumption as well as contribute to protecting the living environment for future generations.
In this project, we needed to design enough space for a family of 8. Therefore, we arranged all the technical spaces and garage in the basement. The purpose of this is to allocate more space for common living areas and the garden on the ground floor. On the ground floor, we arranged 3 bedrooms and 1 gym room around a large common living space consisting of a living room, kitchen, and dining area. These spaces needed to be spacious and closely linked to each other and to the outside garden landscape, making the garden space an indispensable part of the house. To achieve this, we used the technology of hollow box floor spanning. This technology enabled us to create a spacious living room, kitchen, and dining area without the need for many load-bearing columns or walls, optimizing space and reducing the amount of concrete used in construction. This hollow box floor is made from recycled polypropylene plastic, contributing to reducing environmental waste. In addition, we used large foldable glass doors to increase the efficiency of space usage and provide a comfortable and airy feeling.
On the second floor, we arranged 3 bedrooms, a reading room, and a prayer room along the longitudinal axis. All bedrooms are oriented towards the main garden area and avoid the direction of sunlight and hot winds blowing from the west. The outer protective layer consists of a sunshade system made of recycled plastic and wood that covers the entire second floor, which helps to limit harmful UV rays during peak hours and increase personal privacy. When necessary, this system can be easily moved. Inside, there is a large movable glass system that is very flexible in expanding the space significantly.
On the rooftop, we allocated a large area for planting grass, which acts as an excellent thermal insulation mat that can prevent heat radiation from penetrating the spaces below. This helps to reduce energy consumption from air conditioning and promote sustainable construction. The remaining area includes skylights that bring in light and wind through automatic sensors
At this moment, as we have just completed the project, the El Nino phenomenon cycle has begun. The temperature is about to exceed the threshold, but with the reasonable arrangement of protective layers and green spaces such as grass and water surfaces, the house has significantly contributed to reducing heat, improving air quality, and protecting health.
