silaa architects connects nature with dorm spaces in vietnamese timber hut
designboom_silaa architects insterted SAHI W&D, a small timber hut, in hue city, vietnam. the hut is designed as part of a homestay project where tourists can spend their holidays in dorm-style space. located at the corner of the site, the project aims to encourage the connection between people and their surrounding elements, and between people themselves.
the architects emphasized the concept of ‘connection’ by alternating the volumes and creating gaps between them to encourage interaction. the arrangement of the separated volumes – hosting sleeping spaces, rest rooms and the kitchenette – along two stories, created the open volumes that include the common spaces, terraces and voids. through these gaps, people can enjoy the communal areas and the surrounding greenery all under the same roof with skylights.
