This is a mansion in a guarded and gated community, one of Saigon's brand-spanking-new neighborhoods for the nouveau riche. Unlike the rest, this mansion is smothered and covered in green ivy. Perhaps you can make out the shape of a rooftop and the reflection of second story windows.
Considering the house can't be more than a decade old, I'm gonna go out on a leafy limb and say the complete plant cover was a deliberate design idea. A plant shield just may be my favorite idea for my future house yet. Forget the underwater treehouse with a firepole, which I've been dreaming of ever since--well, today's Monday, so since--forever. I'm gonna throw a vapor barrier on my house and turn it into a plant. Just imagine all the fertilizer I could buy with the money I save on home cooling.
