"The road is quite difficult to move; it's the rainy season, so it is muddy and slippery. You go through the slope, and then you will see a large pine forest and tea hills; the land is behind that area." We moved quickly and saw the land through the description of the forest guard. The house was built when the Covid epidemic was very tense in big cities. Although the COVID epidemic did not cause difficulties in travel in the Moutain area like Di Linh. However, limitations in human resources and difficulties in finding materials caused the construction project to be pending and last for about two years. The house's location at the top of the hill also requires careful consideration in choosing building materials and construction methods. As an area where lightning strikes and tornadoes often occur, we chose a house with small wooden structures, tile roof, double-layered brick walls, and rammed earth floors to minimize the risk of exposure to magnetic fields. Because the house slopes towards the Tea Hill Valley, any waste plan (construction or residential waste) must also be treated and considered before going downstream. With little rainfall in the dry season, water harvesting is also essential for garden irrigation. The Big water reservoir was dug halfway up the valley to collect the water from the upper part. When it rains, water falls on the roof and floor, is led into an underground pipe, and sent down to the reservoir.
The house is arranged in a North-South direction according to the terrain. The East direction opens towards the valley, and the West toward the main road. The house has large open doors on the East side to welcome sunshine. On the contrary, in the West, the walls are thick, and the windows are small to limit visibility from the outside and reduce heat radiation. The entire house's activities are within 50 square meters of the ground floor (Cooking, Eating, Sleeping, Toilet). The small loft is added as a reading and meditation space, with a balcony opening towards the sunrise.
In terms of structure, we change the traditional wooden structure by reducing the span and size of the pillars and beams. Usable functions are arranged horizontally, elongated instead of symmetrically arranged, and open to four directions. This helps save wood usage and can use planted trees, which are a few years old. Rammed earth is also considered and researched to reuse soil from reservoirs. Finally, we believe our effort will also somewhat limit the downstream impact, even if it is just a tiny piece of research.
