The Rosemary house is a renovated homestay that located on a 1.500 sq. estate on the outskirts of Da Lat - the mountain town in Southern Vietnam’s central highlands. Nestled among the greenery of the property, the house does not directly contact with the city’s urban fabric. A small project but celebrating many years of love between each family members.
This compact residential project is a labor of love, driven by a husband's deep dedication to his wife of ten years—a milestone they celebrated with an intimate wedding on this very plot before its transformation. For the couple, this home is a nostalgic retreat during visits to her hometown, offering a warm gathering space for parents and siblings alike. Guided by her father’s wish to remain anchored to his garden, the architectural layout expands on this sentiment, creating inviting new spaces designed for hosting guests and creating shared memories.
Even Dalat is in tropical climate but it still has cool and pleasant weather with plentiful average annual rainfall. The house responds to the climate with open terraces on the southwest (sunny) side, between the living area and the garden. The combination of the built block and the surrounding vegetation creates barriers and thresholds that defines the public and private nature of various spaces and control access.
The house blocks placed on a sloping landscape and oriented towards the valley views. The big glass windows blurs the distinction between the interior and the exterior spaces.
The required functions for the owners is minimized, we just need to provide basic amenities. Besides, there are one living room, kitchen, dinning and four oher bedrooms for guests. All of them possess the fantastic view to the public garden through a private courtyard.
Every bedroom is a personality, just like brothers and sisters, but together they form a family.
As night get colder, the fire warms family members up.
Thank you for your time.
