Beasts House

Villa No. II · Animated life

Beasts House.

The most traditional of the three houses — an authentic Huế wooden dwelling, relocated from a nearby coastal village and carefully restored.

It is partly set above its own pool, creating subtle changes in level and perspective.

Beasts House draws directly from origins, being composed almost exclusively of primal materials: rough stone, Lào Cai slate and basalt, an ancient wooden structure, and massive furniture made of unpainted hardwood.

Beasts House detail

Decorative motifs and carvings follow Huế traditions in their most elemental expression. Mythical beasts from Vietnamese culture appear throughout, alongside Western cosmic counterparts, reflecting Huế’s long and layered dialogue with the West.

It is a place where the line between architecture and creature blurs — where dragons coil along beams, phoenixes alight on lintels, and the four sacred animals stand sentinel.
