“Stacking Green” is just one small house from Saigon, a chaotic city with the highest density of population in the world. The house, designed for a thirty-years-old couple and their mother, is a typical tube house constructed on the plot 4m wide and 20m deep. The front and back façades are entirely composed of layers of concrete planters cantilevered from two side walls.
The distance between the planters and the height of the planters are adjusted according to the height of the plants, which varies from 25 cm to 40 cm. To water plants and for easy maintenance, we use the automatic irrigation pipes inside the planters.
The green façade and roof top garden protect its inhabitants from the direct sunlight, street noise and pollution.
