Vietnamese design studio ROOM + Design & Build creates the Secret Garden located in the busy city of Ho Chi Minh. It is a townhouse location that has a hidden tranquil space that allows residents to unwind and take a break from their busy lifestyles.
The center of the location has a garden filled with light -- the home has four-levels and embodies a contemporary design language that celebrates the beauty of nature. It is tucked between two alleyways and other buildings, which were a challenge for architects to work with. Additionally, as the home covers over four stories, every single detail including the windows, rooftops, and exterior is filled with plants for a lush greenery look.
