MW Archstudio architects have designed a beautiful three-story residence in Nha Trang, a coastal city in southern Vietnam. At first glance, you notice the secluded, cozy garden on the roof. The attractive roof garden that crowns the building has benches where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine. The narrow property was called “204 House” and is located in a densely populated area with a lot of traffic.
The private residence covers an area of 445 square meters and was completed in 2016. The property with a rooftop garden has been designed to provide adequate ventilation and natural light during the day, without having to turn on the air conditioning. At night, energy efficient LED lights are used to illuminate the modern residence. The aim of the architects at MW Archstudio is to achieve balance and sustainability in theRelationship between people, nature and architectureto create by exclusively using materials from the region. For this reason, “204 House” was built with local materials.
The residents of the house enjoy onegreen plantingnot just on the roof of the building. Several trees at different distances penetrate the floor plates of the multi-story building. This means you have brought nature into your own four walls and this can be felt everywhere in the house. The gates at the entrance to the house also take up the tree theme and have tree-shaped openings that create a fascinating play of light.
“204 House” has a garage on the street side. The ground floor houses the kitchen, dining area and master bedroom. The primary living area is connected to an entertainment area and a bedroom and is located on the first floor. On the second floor there are two more bedrooms and a prayer room.
The interior of the residence with the enchanting roof garden is composed of natural materials. White marble was chosen as the material for the floors in the living rooms and the staircase. Wood and warm brown tones provide comfort and an additional touch of nature.
