Rooftop garden of a three story residence in Nha Trang, Vietnam
MW Archstudio architects designed a beautiful three-story residence in Nha Trang, a coastal city in southern Vietnam. At first glance, the secluded, cozy garden on the roof is noticeable. The attractive roof garden, with which the building was crowned, has benches where you can relax and enjoy the sunshine. The narrow property, called “204 House”, 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 rooftop garden accommodation has been designed so that there is sufficient 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 create a balance and sustainability in the relationship between people, nature and architecture by using only materials from the region. For this reason, “204 House” was also built with local materials.
The residents of the house enjoy green plants not only on the roof of the building. Several trees at different distances penetrate through the floor panels of the multi-story building. This has brought nature into your own four walls and this can be felt everywhere in the house. The gates at the house entrance also take up the tree theme and are provided with tree-shaped openings that create a fascinating play of light.
“204 House” has a garage on the street side. The kitchen, dining area and master bedroom are located on the ground floor. 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 in the stairwell. Wood and warm, brown tones ensure comfort and an additional touch of nature.
