Mr. Vo Ngoc Minh Nhat, owner of the tourist destination “Immortal Flower Forest”. The birth of this tourist spot was also quite random. Mr. Vo Ngoc Dung, 54 years old, lives in Dao Duy Tu Street, Ward 4, Da Lat City, which is a farmer. In 2020, he rented out 6 sao of gardening from a landowner in Xuan Tho commune to grow immortal flowers for sale to flower shops and ornamental plants in Da Lat to make flower baskets to sell to tourists. Young man Vo Ngoc Minh Nhat, 22 years old, his son Vo Ngoc Dung, who had just graduated from an art school in Ho Chi Minh City once visited the garden with his father, was overwhelmed by the beauty of the immortal flower garden. Then he advised his father not to collect flowers anymore, but left the whole flower garden to welcome visitors. Immortality is a unique flower because when it is dead, each flower retains the same shape and color as when it first bloomed. In Dalat, immortal flowers have been planted for a long time, but the colors are quite monotonous, mainly yellow and orange. Meanwhile, the immortal flower garden of Mr. Vo Ngoc Dung’s family has a variety of colors such as white, yellow, orange, purple, red, pink … due to the variety imported from abroad. This flower has good resistance to pests and diseases, takes less care, the time from seeding to flowering is about 5 months and the tree will bloom continuously for about 2 years before having to replace another litter. The beauty of immortal flowers. Mr. Vo Ngoc Dung said that in the past, the economic efficiency from growing immortal flowers was quite precarious because each kilogram of flowers sold only about 40,000 VND. One person can cut 5-6kg of cotton / day. While the average wage of labor is 200,000 VND / day / person, the flower selling fee is only enough to pay the labor cost. However, since moving to tourism, the economic efficiency is much higher. The tourist destination “Immortal Flower Forest” is completely free for visitors, families only sell soft drinks and coffee at the price of 20,000-40,000 VND / cup. “Normally we welcome about 50 guests, on holidays, the ceremony welcomes 200-300 guests. Income from selling water to visitors is much higher than from cutting cotton to sell by weight “, Mr. Vo Ngoc Dung affirmed. Highway 20 from the center of Da Lat city to Xuan Tho, Xuan Truong (Da Lat) communes has now become a tourist road with many famous “chek-in” and “Immortal Flower Forest” with the Rustic beauty but no less romantic is a special highlight that makes this road even more attractive to visitors from near and far.

POM House is a small house located on a hillside in Son La province. Like the hill villages of Vietnam over the past decade, the economic development has led to the construction works, making the city more and more cramped. The hill is now a cake with many pieces cut and leveled for a “more convenient” city. When designing the house, the group of architects aims to develop urban and its impact on nature. So half of the land area is for construction and the rest is for natural elements. The eaves are built around the yard as a solid limit to protect the “land” from the impact of construction works. The courtyard is inspired by the patio of the traditional house for midday shade. The living space in the house is arranged quite simply, including a large common space, where all activities take place and is a space for family members to connect. The two side spaces of the house are designed to be smaller as private spaces for rest. Each space is connected to a shared garden but has its own vision for each space. The V-shaped roofs with the lowest point in the middle divide the house into residential and auxiliary spaces. The roof is designed to open to the outside and is carefully calculated to cleverly welcome natural light into the house in the late afternoon when the light intensity has decreased.
