The Blooming Bamboo Home is a housing solution for millions of Vietnamese people suffering from natural disasters such as storms, floods, landslides and drought.

According to H&P Architects, the users can build the house by themselves in 25 days using local materials and can be mass produced.

Earlier this year, the Bamboo Blooming House won the International Architecture Award 2014, an annual prize awarded by the Chicago Athenaeum Museum of Architecture and Design in collaboration with the European Centre for Architecture Art Design and Urban Studies.
