THIÊN Y – HUẾ CITADEL

Flower House

Three levels, five bedrooms, large open living space

Main facade of Flower house, and pool side

“The semi-open ground floor follows the principle of the nhà sàn, opening the house to the land

The structure gently inclines toward arriving guests, sheltered Beneath a wooden roof with a stepped awning

inspired by Ancient models

 

Beyond a forged-iron gate unfolds a garden inspired by

Cham art —  whose kingdom once reached its northern border near Huế 

— Composed of sculpted stones, fountains, & antique statuary.

Inside, a monumental carved-stone chimney warms the short winter months.  Handmade lighting,

fine leather seating, ancient artworks, and an interior well complete the ensemble.

The pool is adorned with artists’ floral mosaics and includes massage jets as well as a children’s area

The floral element holds a particular place here. In the Western tradition, the flower is the only part of life untouched by original sin 

In Huế, it is frequently associated with metamorphosisthe passage from vegetal to animal. 

This theme recurs throughout the house. The four traditional flowers of Việt Nam
are vividly carved into the ancient lim-wood gates by a prominent local master carver, overlooking the pool.”
