THIÊN Y – HUẾ CITADEL

Bird House

Empire–Indochina in spirit, Birds House is governed by order and symmetry,

Its plan structured as three concentric squares. This reference draws its influence to both the classical style in Europe around the 1800’ as well as

The exuberance and colors of Vietnamese baroque taste, as such it has its roots in some of the most ancient citadel constructions

Similar to Lầu tứ Phương vô sư (pavilion of four sided ingenuity). Two levels compose the house, which in stark contrast to one another make a unique balance.

The ground is all mineral and ordained in cool blue and blue-grey tints, with it complex mathematically conceived local marble mosaic

and M Nien trompe l’oeil blue wall marbles.  

The upper one by opposition, being an authentic ancient Huế wooden structure

Restored into an ideal honey-moon hideaway, populated by wooden sculpted birds following the land’s cultural tradition.
