three-layered brick shell enhances airflow within nam house by cta in vietnam
Briefly

Nam House showcases a bioclimatic design that effectively mitigates urban heat through natural ventilation, layered construction, and strategic shading, creating a cooling environment.
The 250mm thick outer shell comprises a solid brick layer, an air gap, and an inner 4-hole brick wall, which collectively optimize thermal comfort and reduce heat transfer.
Raked mortar joints in the brick walls create shaded areas, minimizing solar heat absorption by 14-16%, enhancing the house's thermal performance and interior comfort.
Z-shaped shades are integrated to maximize natural ventilation, ensuring continuous airflow and cooling, while maintaining comfort even when the house is unoccupied.
