Waste from local factories has been upcycled to build a house in the Central Highlands city.
 |
This house with one main block and three small cabins is situated on the side of a mountain. It’s used as a homestay.
 |
It is built on a narrow, but prolonging parameters (the total area is 260 square meters but the width is only 8 meters). It also slopes, narrowing at the back. The main architect of the house, Vu Hoang Kha, described it as “chili-shaped” land.
 |
The blocks are placed along the length of the land, and connected by a long path that curves toward the slope.
 |
The house was praised by the US architecture magazine Archdaily as “giving so-called ‘garbage’ a second chance.” Archdaily hailed the idea of using unique materials which are also cost-effective and eco-friendly.
 |
Fences are made from tree branches
 |
Left over external wood cells from local factories are reused in ceiling modules.
 |
Throw-away test concrete blocks were cut into cubes and aligned carefully to recreate the iconic talus slope of Da Lat.
 |
Living room on the ground floor in the main block.
 |
Kitchen and dining area are also located in the main block.
 |
The small cabin
 |
The house and cabins are lifted from the ground to give the house more open space for activities, better view for bedrooms and privacy.
 |
Each cabin has its own outdoor relaxation area.
