Inspired by old Vietnamese houses, we tried to bring the essence of them in this space. A house in local people’s life is not only a place to stay, sleep and come back to every day after a long working time but also is where people make important events of a lifetime like holding their weddings, worshipping, welcoming new members, sharing moments. From generation to generation, all of the architectural features from the shape, the lines, curves as well as colors of the house present its unique and beautiful culture, history, and tradition. Looking at the house, you can partially imagine the way people live in nature and the way the living environment affects residents.
Materials like wood, clay, brick, bamboo and straw have been used and seen in nature. Food brings all the colours and aromas. Vietnam is one long-coloured table. Everyone around it enjoys its company, sharing, find meaning in the art of cooking.
Back from the open kitchen with fresh herbs and vegetables, they prepare meals daily. The roof of an old Vietnamese house creates a frame above the kitchen hearth.The centre of this space is where hands artfully create all the traditional recipes.
