Kengo Kuma is not just an architect—he is an explorer, constantly searching for the hidden beauty in nature and culture. He has traveled across the globe, from bustling metropolises to remote villages, seeking inspiration and learning from diverse environments. And when he arrived in Da Lat, he was captivated by its poetic landscapes, mild climate, and rich cultural diversity.
For five years, Kengo Kuma devoted himself to studying Da Lat—its history, culture, terrain, climate, and unique flora. He met with locals, listened to their stories, and delved into the traditional values they cherished. He wandered through vast pine forests, marveled at majestic waterfalls, and immersed himself in vibrant flower gardens.
These experiences became an endless source of inspiration for Kengo Kuma, shaping the core vision for Haus Da Lat: a living space seamlessly blending with nature, honoring local culture, and offering residents a one-of-a-kind experience.
