Natural light and ample greenery are key ingredients to a healthy and comfortable home, and Phong House is designed to maximize those two components. The home in Vietnam features a latticed facade that lets light and air pass through onto the patio freely, and the spaces in the facade are expressly designed to hold planters, turning the home's exterior into a modular vertical garden.
Since Phong House is located in Vietnam, the weather is often pleasant enough to spend time out on the home's attached, partially enclosed patio. Further, the weather is amenable to keeping plants alive and healthy, which is all the more reason to create the kind of modular gardening playground that VHL.Architecture, the studio behind the home, went for.
