Suoi Hai Lake, Vietnam
Located on the outskirts of Suoi Hai Lake, the SuoiHai Villa designed by Nham Chi Kien of APDI and Phong Landscape, is made of local materials, as beehive rock is a finite and natural resource, merging the inside space with the outdoors.
The construction site boasts an exceptional location, offering a panoramic view of the lake, followed by the majestic Tản Viên peak.
There are no man-made structures within this picturesque landscape; it remains entirely untouched by human development.
From a cultural perspective, the Tản Viên mountain range is considered sacred and is the origin of the famous Vietnamese legend of Sơn Tinh – Thủy Tinh, which has deeply ingrained itself in the Vietnamese psyche.
Everything originates from the context, and the structure will appear as if it has emerged, blending seamlessly into the natural landscape.
The house is oriented along the direction facing the lake to maximize the number of spaces with a view of the magnificent landscape.
On the other hand, garden structures are also integrated, resembling “fragments” of smaller natural elements that flow into the building, blurring the lines between inside and outside.
