Tinh An House / STD Design Consultant

This house in Tinh An, Quang Ngai, Vietnam, exemplifies sustainable architecture and deep respect for the natural environment. The core of the design centers around a mature Barringtonia asiatica (fish poison tree), which is carefully preserved as the focal point of the home. Rather than removing the tree, it is integrated into the living space, creating a strong connection between architecture and nature. The tree's branches extend through a rectangular opening in the roof, drawing the outdoors into the home, enhancing the sense of openness, and allowing natural light and air to permeate the living areas.
