Award-Winning Architect Vu Hoang Kha's Innovative Homestay Project
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Award-winning architect Vu Hoang Kha's Nha Nhim Homestay in Da Lat City, Vietnam, is a pioneering architectural marvel that repurposes waste materials to create a sustainable living space. The project, initiated in 2017, redefines traditional architectural norms by upcycling waste materials from local textile factories and utilizing barks, branches, and test concrete blocks to construct a unique homestay on the slope of a mountainous area.
The Nha Nhim Homestay, awarded the Bronze A' Design Award in 2021, stands as a testament to the architect's commitment to sustainability and innovation. The project not only offers a comfortable stay but also integrates business elements, featuring the main house and additional tubins. Overcoming challenges posed by the cold climate of Da Lat, the design incorporates a large slope roof to mitigate cold winds while allowing cool breezes during hot weather.
By dividing the project into smaller elements, the design maximizes ventilation, natural sunlight, and minimizes the use of artificial energy, contributing to environmental preservation. The project's unique approach to sustainability and its successful integration with the surrounding environment make it a standout example of modern architectural innovation.
