The Design
About Nha Nhim 홈스테이
냐 님(Nha Nhim)은 베트남 달랏에 위치한 홈스테이 건물이다. 대지는 폭 약 8미터에 길이가 훨씬 긴 협소한 형태이며, 지형이 고르지 않고 지반이 약하다. 모든 요소를 지면에서 들어 올려 생활 공간을 넓히고 계곡을 향한 조망을 열었다. 지역에서 나온 폐자재를 수집해 건물 전반에 재사용했다. 나무껍질과 가지, 시험용 콘크리트 블록에 새로운 생명을 부여했으며, 인근 섬유 공장에서 나온 자투리 원단은 재활용해 여러 부분에 활용했다. 크게 경사진 지붕은 차가운 밤바람을 막아주는 동시에 낮에는 시원한 바람이 통하도록 한다.

- Production Technology
- Barks, branches, test concrete blocks were the materials that we gave them a new life in this project.
- Design Challenge
- The site challenged the architects with its narrow and prolonging parameters, where the length significantly overshadowed the 8-meter width. The terrain is extremely bad with undulating, uneven terrain, weak soil, which can cause landslides.
- Research
- Although we exploited a lot of things inside, we still kept the harmony with the context by using the traditional materials. Instead of neighboring buildings, Nha Nhim Homestay was lifted entire all of the elements to solve the problems such as: expanded the living space, created green space and circulation space for the narrow area. It also opened the view to the valley, not prevented by near buildings.
- Inspiration
- During the field trips to Dalat, we had to drive around to listen to local stories and what the local resource offered us. We found so much potential in waste materials from the area. Therefore we decided to collect and upcycle them. For instance, waste materials from local textile factories were classified and recycled into different parts. External wood cells were reused in ceiling modules and fences were made of tree branches.
- Project Duration
- The project started construction & operation in 2017 in Da Lat, Viet Nam
- Operation Flow
- The purpose of the project was a building not only stay but also business. The project included the main house and additional tubins. One of the most difficult we have to solve was the weather which was really cold in Da Lat. We created a big slope roof to avoid cold wind in the night but still received cool breezes in hot weather during the day. Moreover, we divided the project into several small elements to have good ventilation, natural sun light, reducing the use of artificial energy, causing harm to the environment.
