I have been to the last house of the client. They love flowers and growing plants, especially organic vegetables, and spices, without chemicals.

There has been a wide range of house designing and building rules that exist many years ago in Vietnam and East Asia, particularly the Feng Shui rule. This sometimes made architects struggle with their design ideas. For instance, building the house of the wealthy or the front door and the headboard of the bed must be suitable for the owner’s ages. Moreover, the living room is always facing the main facade, which is the first place you have to go through when you want to enter the house, etc.

They even had to call for the co-operation from another start-up project in the fashion sector to have enough capital for the construction of the project.

In Vietnam, there are a large number of steel buildings. They can be easily found around the country and have been built for different purposes of use.
