Do you wake up each morning longing to be surrounded by the enchanting beauty of chrysanthemums? Step into Daisy House, where the owner’s passion for these vibrant flowers has bloomed into an architectural marvel. Inspired by the owner’s love for chrysanthemums, every inch of this house is designed to reflect the elegance and charm of these blossoms. Let’s explore this unique abode that combines nature’s wonders with exquisite craftsmanship.
A Blossoming Metaphor
Within the cozy confines of Daisy House, chrysanthemums take center stage. The image and colors of these beloved flowers are artfully woven into the design, both in its entirety and in every intricate detail. Despite its modest size and sloping layout, the house is ingeniously maximized to create a sense of space and openness that will take your breath away.
Embracing Nature’s Caress
One of the standout features of Daisy House is its seamless connection to the outdoors. Two terraces, which occupy a third of the total area, effortlessly link all the rooms, blurring the lines between indoor and outdoor spaces. These verdant pockets, teeming with lush vegetation, act as natural lungs, continuously refreshing the air throughout the day. Imagine waking up to the gentle caress of a cool breeze, accompanied by the delicate fragrance of chrysanthemums.
Harmonizing with the Elements
Nestled in central Vietnam, Daisy House must navigate the challenges posed by its harsh climate. Striking a delicate balance between maximizing natural light and minimizing heat, the architects opt for raw materials and neutral colors. Additionally, the house is graced with small portals adorned with trees, resembling colossal air conditioning boxes. This ingenious design feature ensures the interior remains comfortably cool, even on the hottest days.
A Sustainable Haven
Daisy House doesn’t just captivate with its visual allure; it embraces sustainability with open arms. By harnessing the gifts of nature, such as sunlight, wind, and greenery, this architectural gem becomes a sanctuary of energy efficiency. Connecting seamlessly with the environment, it allows the owner to relish these natural wonders in the most eco-friendly and delightful manner possible.
