Through artisanal craftsmanship, for which D1 has connected with local craft villages to invite, the building was made alive with local materials and minimalist designs that bring upfront the charm of the materials themselves. Not only is this collaboration successful in creating a harmonic integration between architecture and nature, it also helped to preserve the traditional craft villages that had now been falling behind in the age of mass production.
To better adapt to the climate, all living functions are arranged vertically, for residents to relocate to the first floor with ease in times during rainy season when water floods the area.
This duplex villa is situated on a 600-m2 land plot adjacent to the Hoi An River in Quang Nam Province, Vietnam. Surrounding the project site is untouched agrarian land, shaded by nipas tree, a signature fauna of the area. Every year, this region witnesses frequent storms and floods. The climate is harsh with a long cold winter and rainy season.

The challenge of this project is to immerse the design into the beauty of the surrounding landscape and transfer the spirit of the locality into the project. The whole villa is covered with strong, durable coconut leaves, making the exterior look like a large tent if viewed from a distance.
The architects restrict wall partitions in order to maximize wide angles, enabling visitors to appreciate the majestic scenery outside. Common living spaces are allotted on the ground floor, in the middle of the first floor and under the porch, while the bedroom is moved further inside to ensure privacy. By making extensive use of open spaces, the building seamlessly blends with the surrounding nature.
