Apparently,

in Ho Chi Minh City,


 there is a lack of trees and open spaces,

 so Vo Trong Nghia Architects designed and built a three-level residential home in Ho Chi Minh City that is overflowing from within with fiddle leaf fig plants, various palms, and winding vines, views of the exterior show that the driveway, balconies, and perimeter fence have also sprouted leaves,

 the latest project in the firm’s “House for Trees” series, the Stepping Park House is a commentary on environmental issues in Vietnam caused by a lack of green spaces,

 the top floor of the building has an open slatted design with spaces that are filled with even more greenery, 

corridors, staircases, and rooms are lined with natural dividers that add color, block sunlight, and ventilate the space,
