Modern Vietnamese architecture has been embracing the concept of filling homes with as much greenery as possible, and 'Stacked Planters House' is no exception. The home, which was designed by VTN Achitects, is literally filled with trees — old trees rise through gaps in the structural elements of the home, fully connecting it with nature and ensuring that the home's occupants do their part to keep the plants healthy.
Ho Chi Minh City in Vietnam has a temperate to tropical climate all throughout the year. This means that plant life can flourish there with very little effort or expertise needed. That has thus led many architects throughout the city, and indeed the country as a whole, to embrace the weather and build homes with spectacular gardens, courtyards, and other spaces for flora to flourish.
