Euro Village 2 is one of the most preferred living areas for Da Nang's wealthiest citizens.

In this area, the most wanted location belongs to Libellule Villa.

The premise merges seven land plots, and possesses three-sided street access with a desirable land area of nearly 2000 square meters, with a dominant, unobstructed river view scanning 180 degrees from the South to the North.

In such a privileged location, HOMA architects emphasize the importance of nature by transforming the land plot into a large Koi pond, on which large concrete dishes define a floating garden that supports the building columns.

The mass-void interlace maximizes the contact between humans and nature, recalling the image of a damselfly beside the pond.

From a closer viewpoint, the villa has unique features such as a submarine observation tea room where one can watch fish at 4.5 meter underwater, an infinity swimming pool, and a Koi pond right next to it, in the garden.

The swimming pool, therefore, gives an immersive nature feeling.

From a sustainability-oriented perspective, 110 square meter of rooftop solar panels helps reduce 30% of the monthly electrical bill.

Besides, the double façade made from local stone is crucial in protecting the interior from direct sun radiation.

The roof extends in long-span wings that efficiently provide shading and comfort to the room and garden below.

The construction took two years and cost approximately 5 million US dollars from groundbreaking to delivery.

The villa ages well with the local climate thanks to the quality of local materials and carefully studied design.
