Green Peace Village Apartment

Facing the typical long and narrow urban plot (6m wide, 40m deep), this 5-story serviced apartment building, created by Ho Khue Architects (ALPES), serves as an ecological solution to reconnect people with nature. Inspired by the terraced fields of the Northwest, the building mass is divided into two large voids combined with a central skylight, guiding natural light and air to circulate throughout every floor. The room modules are staggered, creating private garden spaces with 1–2 green corners for each apartment, while also opening up areas for community interaction. The subtle contrast between the modern, comfortable interior and the rustic exterior shell made of unburnt cement bricks, granite, and traditional terrazzo has transformed the building into a sustainable green oasis, bringing a sense of peaceful rural soul into the rhythm of urban life.
