This garden house grows enough food for three generations of one family

Vietnamese firm, <a href="http://votrongnghia.com/">Vo Trong Nhia Architects</a> are no strangers to blending <a href="http://inhabitat.com/tag/green-space">green space</a> into living space, but their latest design, the Binh House, offers one large family of three generations the option of producing enough food for the entire brood. The architects were charged with creating a comfortable home environment that would be suitable to every age, allowing for communal family areas as well as individual spaces right in the middle of a busy neighborhood.

The concrete home, which is located in a high density neighborhood in Ho Chi Minh City, is a large space that houses a family of three generations.

The architects were charged with creating a comfortable home environment that would be suitable to every age, allowing for communal family areas as well as individual spaces.

Further challenging was the fact that many heavily populated cities in Vietnam are destroying natural tropical green spaces to meet the needs of the population.

As part of the architect's ongoing "House for Trees" series, Vo Trong Nhia Architects used the Binh House design to reconnect the family space with nature, creating a veritable jungle inside the home.

The home is a multi-level design stacked lush green spaces on every floor.

Large sliding glass doors allow for optimal natural light throughout the home.

The glass separations also help create an open space at the inner core of the home where family members can easily interact between other rooms.

The home is filled with green plants and large trees that shade the interior spaces, providing a nice, even temperature throughout the home.

Additionally, the green spaces, many already vertical, offer flexible growing options for the large family.

To further reduce energy consumption, the service areas like the kitchen, bathrooms, stairs and hallways are located on the west side of the home.

The layout of the Bihn House was strategic to reduce energy consumption.

The Binh home was designed for a family of three generations.

The home is heavily infused with greenery.

The Binh House was constructed with all natural materials.
