Living imperial grace within the Citadel’s walls
Thiên Ý Villas

Gardens & pools

Nature invades the home, and the garden becomes its extension — with its doors, awnings, sofas, statues, fountains, wells and lanterns.

Under Ms Thu’s care

The Huế garden house — the nhà rường — recreated. A garden that keeps renewing itself, tended every day by Ms Thu and her gardeners.

Water as architecture

Three pools, drawn into the houses

Water — ponds, lakes, streams — is a key element of Annamese feng shui, and the villas were conceived in dialogue with it. In the Beasts House, an ancient fisherman’s nhà rường is built over its pool. The Flower House’s children’s basin flows in gentle curves into the dining room. In the Birds House, the central staircase descends straight into the water, as into a village well.
