     To date, with global warming, the problem of climate comfort is always interested by architects to find the solution of housing design that providesclimate comfort for residents. Thanks to the unique coastal tropical environment in Vung Tau city,  Hybrid methods which combine passive and active technology in architectural design were applied to create tropical climatic comfort conditions in the living space of the dwelling and energy saving for the project.
