Homestay for A+ Architects

Nha Nhim Homestay was built in Da Lat City where had a cold climate in a tropical country like Viet Nam. The site challenged the architects with the length significantly overshadowed the 8-meter width and there was not any scenery in the context. The design team decided to lift all of the elements to create an open space for the homestay, stick to the topography and created viewports from and within the premises. This project was a story of giving so-called “garbages” a second chance. An architect’s adventure of creating something meaningful from the trash.

Production Technology

Barks, branches, test concrete blocks were the materials that we gave them a new life in this project.

Design Challenge

The site challenged the architects with its narrow and prolonging parameters, where the length significantly overshadowed the 8-meter width. The terrain is extremely bad with undulating, uneven terrain, weak soil, which can cause landslides.

Project Duration

The project started construction & operation in 2017 in Da Lat, Viet Nam

Operation Flow

The purpose of the project was a building not only stay but also business. The project included the main house and additional tubins. One of the most difficult we have to solve was the weather which was really cold in Da Lat. We created a big slope roof to avoid cold wind in the night but still received cool breezes in hot weather during the day. Moreover, we divided the project into several small elements to have good ventilation, natural sun light, reducing the use of artificial energy, causing harm to the environment.

Research

Although we exploited a lot of things inside, we still kept the harmony with the context by using the traditional materials. Instead of neighboring buildings, Nha Nhim Homestay was lifted entire all of the elements to solve the problems such as: expanded the living space, created green space and circulation space for the narrow area. It also opened the view to the valley, not prevented by near buildings.

Inspiration

During the field trips to Dalat, we had to drive around to listen to local stories and what the local resource offered us. We found so much potential in waste materials from the area. Therefore we decided to collect and upcycle them. For instance, waste materials from local textile factories were classified and recycled into different parts. External wood cells were reused in ceiling modules and fences were made of tree branches.
