The project is a detached house located in a coastal rural area in Central Vietnam, characterized by a hot, humid tropical monsoon climate, with harsh hot and rainy seasons. One side of the land borders a national road, leading to high noise levels and dust, which, combined with the high humidity, significantly impacts daily life. Urbanization is rapidly taking place, and the local construction industry is still somewhat spontaneous, with the common "tube house" or "row house" style clearly influencing local architecture.
Recognizing the need for a breakthrough in housing concepts for this project, it was essential to address issues like ventilation, heat reduction, and operational cost savings. In doing so, the project aimed to contribute (even in a small way) to raising awareness about the importance of architectural design, microclimate research, and their impact on the local construction industry.
Overall Site Plan and Functional Layout of the Project: The site is located at a latitude of 15 degrees North, where cooling the building involves tackling the nearly direct sunlight exposure. The optimal solution was to choose a sprawling building layout, combined with a green roof design to reduce heat in the living spaces.
The roof is covered with green grass, almost entirely covering the rooftop area.
The building uses sliding glass doors to create an open space, allowing air cooled by water vapor from an artificial pond and green plants to flow into the house, pushing hot air from the kitchen through the back door, creating natural airflow. The soil from digging the pond is placed on the roof to grow grass, while the remaining earth is used to form a grassy hill in front of the house.
The front facade is oriented to catch the cool breeze from the pond and greenery, while avoiding direct sunlight exposure in the summer, creating shade for the living spaces.
Interior Design: The choice of a modern, minimalist style was made, with an emphasis on soundproofing in the interior design. The walls are constructed in multiple layers, with a soundproofing layer made from mineral wool (rockwool). In addition, decorative walls made of wood (acoustic material) are used to enhance sound insulation, optimizing the living experience for the inhabitants.
The kitchen is placed in front of a sliding door system to ensure sufficient daylight and to create an open space that facilitates airflow, ensuring a cool environment.
A small challenge was posed to change the thinking of rural dwellers in Vietnam, specifically in Central Vietnam, regarding the privacy of the bedroom. The bedroom is designed to be private, cool, and well-ventilated, with balanced and adequate natural light.
The house is designed entirely in a modern style, but still incorporates elements and experiences from the traditional "three-room house" model: "betel leaf in front, banana tree in back." The center of the house still features a worship room, maintaining balance and reverence.
Conclusion: Vietnamese rural architecture, particularly in coastal regions, needs clear and proper direction, utilizing existing advantages to develop in a sustainable, green manner. This small project hopes to contribute to raising awareness among locals about the importance of green architecture.
