“The ache for home lives in all of us.” - Maya Angelou
Da Huoai House is conceived as a multi-generational home in rural Lam Dong, Vietnam, designed for an elderly couple whose daily life is closely connected to agricultural work. Beyond serving as a quiet place for rest after long working hours, the house was also envisioned as a welcoming setting for family reunions whenever children and grandchildren return from the city. The project explores the idea of home not only as a shelter, but as a place of emotional return and reconnection.
In response to the clients’ needs, the house takes a restrained and practical approach. The spatial organisation is simple, efficient and easy to maintain, while remaining flexible enough to accommodate changing uses over time. This emphasis on adaptability allows the house to support different generations and patterns of living without unnecessary complexity.
Located in Da Huoai district, an area defined by a hot-humid tropical climate, frequent rainfall and the sloping terrain of the central highlands, the project draws on both contemporary design language and local architectural references. Its steeply pitched roof echoes vernacular roof forms and surrounding hillsides, helping the building sit naturally within the landscape while enabling rapid drainage during tropical downpours.
The overall site layout is arranged as a layered sequence from road to boundary wall, garden and veranda, creating a buffer against heat, dust and traffic noise from the street. At the front, a small courtyard with a long-standing yellow apricot tree relocated from the family’s farmland offers an informal outdoor gathering space. At the rear, an existing stream and durian garden were preserved as part of the natural landscape, helping shade the house from the west and improve the site’s microclimate.
A skylight positioned at the ridge of the roof brings filtered daylight into the center of the house, softening harsh sunlight and reducing glare while also allowing hot air to escape. Combined with the open-plan layout, this strategy improves natural ventilation, daylight access and visual connection to the surrounding garden. Inside, a small slide placed beside the main staircase adds a playful element to the central living space, encouraging interaction between generations.
Through its climate-responsive design and flexible planning, Da Huoai House balances everyday practicality with a strong sense of belonging, offering a calm, enduring setting for rest, gathering and return.
