Designing 3 solutions to prevent heat, the house in the West direction is cool in the summer sun

The house combines many practical solutions to limit heat radiation from the West, bringing a feeling of airy and cool.

Uoy Home is a house conceptualized, developed by architect To Huu Dung and 85 Design. The work has a special design, inspired by spacecraft across space – time. Located in the Central region, where the climate is hot, the western frontage also makes the house directly suffer from harmful sunlight. To solve this problem, the group of architects applied 3 solutions to limit heat radiation. One is treating with natural solutions, using trees for wall and roof gardening. Trees are decorated right from the front of the house. The second solution is technology, using XPS heat-resistant panels 3cm thick to cover outside walls subject to the main sun direction, preventing heat absorption. The third solution is to create wind convection by opening many doors to the East and South to catch cool winds. Thanks to that, even though it is a western house, the space inside is always cool. The first floor is a common living space including living room, kitchen – dining. Open space feels seamless with a garden. The glass roof in the kitchen area is capable of removing most of the UV rays and minimizing the heat impact on the interior space. The second floor consists of 2 bedrooms, a large bedroom for parents and a small bedroom for a son. The corridor leading to a private space on the 2nd floor has a glass railing made of tempered glass. Skylights are fitted with portable curtains to shade the sun. The roof floor spends most of the area planted with grass. This is also a place where families have fun together when they cannot go far.
