Couple turn house into wildlife ‘playground’


Located near an old factory, a home in Saigon lures birds and squirrels with its green appeal.

Watching birds and squirrels descend on an old factory in Go Vap District, the owners of a 64.5-square-meter plot opposite decided to fill their new home with abundant greenery. The 17-square-meter front yard boasts a starfruit tree, with a lush vegetable garden situated on the roof.

The sloped, well-drained roof garden attracts plenty of neighborhood wildlife.

The young owners insisted the architects include a mutli-purpose ground-floor area that could serve as a playroom, storage facility or even an extra sleeping space.

The open-plan living space is additionally lit by a kitchen skylight.

The cozy third-floor, wood-paneled master bedroom looks out over the surrounding neighborhood.

The naturally-lit workspace overlooks the roof garden, giving users the opportunity to expand their vision beyond the screen or desk.

Its durable, porous facade lends the house a welcoming, though private character.
