# Hanging Vine Walls MIA Design Studio Decorated This House's Walls with Strings of Vines By Joey Haar | Published 2016-12-21 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/mia-design-studio References: [dezeen](https://www.dezeen.com/2016/12/20/mia-design-studio-drawers-house-vietnam-planting-courtyards/) & [miadesignstudio](http://miadesignstudio.com/) MIA Design Studio, a Vietnamese architecture firm, designed a house in Vung Tau, a small Vietnamese city, with an attractive foundation. Many of the house's walls are covered in [thin, stringy vines](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/verdant-house), and the courtyard is bursting with [local flora](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-by-the-grove). Though the house's actual walls are uniformly blanched with white, the plants throughout the building reflect a gentle and translucent green tinge throughout the halls and rooms. The total effect is one of brightness, with an [almost tropical air](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/bi-design-house) about it. The residents of the house love nature, which was the inspiration for the flora throughout. The small, one-storey building is set back from the main street that it is on, giving the residents some privacy that further contributes to the natural feel. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 6.6/10 - Popularity: 94% | Activity: 97% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Gen X - Top markets: Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### Key Themes Behind This Trend - **Biophilic Architecture:** Incorporating living plants and natural elements into architectural designs to create a connection to nature and improve occupants' well-being. - **Vertical Gardens:** Creating green walls or hanging vine walls to maximize space utilization and bring nature into urban environments. - **Translucent Green Tinge:** Using translucent materials or green tints in architecture to create a soothing and natural ambiance. ### Where This Applies - **Architecture:** Architects can explore innovative ways to integrate living plants and green walls into building designs, creating more sustainable and visually appealing structures. - **Landscaping:** Landscape designers can specialize in creating and maintaining vertical gardens, offering unique and eco-friendly solutions for incorporating nature into urban spaces. - **Interior Design:** Interior designers can incorporate translucent materials or green tints into their designs to create calming and nature-inspired spaces for residential and commercial clients. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Green Garden-Surrounding Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hillside-house-1.md) - [Modern Vietnamese Dwellings](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/tien-giang-house.md) - [Greenery-Surrounding Lush Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nest-house-1.md) - [Light-Filled City Center Gardens](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/secret-garden-2.md) - [Geometric Cave-Like Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/cavelike-homes.md) - [Climbing Plant-Wrapped Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nevogilde.md) - [Living Landscape Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hedge-and-arbour-house.md) - [Plant-Covered Concrete Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/villa-kd45.md) - [Oversized Roof Vietnamese Homes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/house-in-quang-yen.md)
