Mr Hung House

Mr Hung’s house is located in Jackfruit Village, Co Dong Commune, Son Tay district, Western suburb of Hanoi. The land slopes gradually to the lake with spacious views. The house relies on trees naturally.  All the spaces are permeated by plants, wind and sunlight.

According to the topography, building platform is elevated to avoid termite, humid as well as ensure natural surface drainage.
