Green boxes

The project comprises a set of housing units reserved for specialists who both live and work within the Phu My community where heavy industrial sites and a commercial port are located in Bà Rịa – Vũng Tàu province, Vietnam. The rapid evolution of industry is currently giving rise to a multitude of environmental challenges. As a result, the project’s main focus lies in enhancing the quality of life in this area.

Our idea is to create hanging ‘green boxes’ measuring between 2 to 3 meters for each apartment which is suitable for a wide variety of activities, such as a garden or a terrace. After a working day in the factory, this becomes a space for relaxation and communion with nature.
