From the outside, the villa embraces a humble posture, tucked beneath high, sloping tiled roofs and familiar, sweeping verandas. Few would guess that the building’s massing draws inspiration from the floating raft houses that bob along the water – a unique heritage of the Mekong Delta.
The calculated variations in floor elevations and roof heights create a rhythmic cadence mimicking the flow of water, while simultaneously optimizing natural air convection to keep the interiors effortlessly cool.
The home’s sense of shelter is further enhanced by a perimeter wall woven from over 10,000 hand-cut natural stones. From afar, the undulating gradients of the stone mimic poetic waves, ensuring absolute privacy and peace of mind for the homeowners.
