A cozy single-story house for a family of four who love the freshness of nature, designed by MIA Design studio in the resort city of Vung Tau, Vietnam.

The remaining 180 square meters of the house were divided by architects into functional sections, while inserting "landscape sections" between them.

Living sections are connected by a long corridor that runs throughout the plot. The passage is adorned with a living fence made of climbing plants, which protects the rooms from tropical heat and creates whimsical patterns that change throughout the day as the sun moves.

The boundaries between internal and external spaces are minimized, allowing people to feel all the fluctuations of nature. When the "sections" are opened and closed, the house is naturally ventilated throughout its entire length. The building functions as a living body, fulfilling the mission of connecting people with each other and with nature.
