VCN Nha Trang House | PHSA | Pham Huu Son Architects

In the rapidly urbanizing landscape of Vietnamese cities, VCN Nha Trang House stands as a compelling example of how modern architecture can harmoniously blend with nature. This five-level townhouse, complete with a rooftop terrace, offers a thoughtful solution to increasing housing demands and rising real estate prices in Nha Trang.
 
Designed to optimize functionality for diverse family needs, the first and second floors are dedicated to business operations, while the third floor features two independent apartments alongside a shared living area. The main resting spaces are strategically placed on the upper floors, ensuring optimal comfort and convenience.
 
The building's facade makes a striking impression with its sophisticated use of finely fragmented and layered natural stone. Long, horizontal lines not only create a sense of spaciousness but also serve as a unique visual highlight. Cleverly placed sunscreens and green elements are interspersed, softening the material's rigidity, mitigating direct views, and preserving interior privacy.
 
A truly distinctive feature of VCN Nha Nha Trang House is the strategic placement of greenery throughout the home, from exterior to interior, and from top to bottom. This creates a unique microclimatic ecosystem, leveraging every potential to optimize space and cultivate a green environment right within the home. Greenery is also strategically placed along the staircases and corridors, as well as on the rooftop garden, offering a refreshing green sanctuary and an ideal escape from the urban hustle. This lush vegetation provides expansive natural views and plays a crucial role in improving the microclimate, purifying the air, and enhancing family well-being.
 
At VCN Nha Trang House, the focus is on maximizing natural energy sources through passive architectural solutions, aiming for significant energy savings. In addition to a central elevator system, the staircase system is designed with three different open orientations, bathed in light and surrounded by greenery, creating a pleasant and relaxing experience when moving around. Large windows and glass partitions with carefully calculated ventilation slots ensure continuous air circulation, keeping the house consistently airy and cool. Strategic sunscreens help control solar heat while maintaining light and views, minimizing reliance on air conditioning.
 
The central skylight continues to play a pivotal role in distributing natural light to every corner, creating a consistently bright and airy space. The harmonious combination of light, natural ventilation, and air convection design not only significantly reduces electricity consumption for lighting and air conditioning but also provides a unique living experience close to nature, where rain, mist, and sunlight all become an integral part of the living space.
 
The interior of VCN Nha Trang House is a perfect blend of modern, minimalist design and comfort, creating a luxurious living space. From the living room overlooking the skylight to the kitchen with a serene river view, and the elevated bathroom surrounded by lush greenery, each area is designed to offer a living experience close to nature while ensuring maximum convenience.
