"The house is recognized at once by its planted facade that mediates the threshold between interior space and the street and uses vegetation as both screen and living surface."
"Each pot sits within a circular metal holder that can be opened for maintenance, allowing residents to replace soil, adjust plant types, and respond to seasonal change."
"Soil and vegetation become part of the architectural assembly, aligning with H&P Architects' broader interest in 'agritecture' as a way to integrate food production and living space within the city."
Flying Vegetation is a housing project in Thai Binh, Vietnam, featuring a unique planted facade that serves as both a screen and living surface. The facade consists of terracotta pots within a steel frame, allowing for plant growth and airflow. This design softens light and reduces dust while providing a green view from inside. The planting system is adaptable, enabling residents to maintain and change plants seasonally. The project embodies 'agritecture', merging food production with urban living, using familiar materials like clay and brick to create a vertical landscape.
