The “Stacking Green” house was constructed on a small plot of land (4 by 20 metres) in district 2, HCM City. The front and back of the house were made entirely of cantilevered concrete planters, each at slightly different levels in harmony with the height of desired plants.
The “Binh Duong School” was built in the middle of a lush forest outside HCM City, providing an open, breathable space for nearly 800 students who wish to learn and relax at the same time.
