Wishing to have an ancient space to worship ancestors and gather children and grandchildren, Ms. Nguyen Thanh Nga's family (Dai Bai commune, Gia Binh district, Bac Ninh province) built a traditional house with the architecture of a Northern village. Photo: Happynest

The project was built on a 900m2 plot of land, including a 5-room wooden house, a large communal house, a garden and a surrounding fish pond. Photo: Observer

The 5-room wooden house has traditional architecture with a length of more than 15m, a width of more than 10m, using tali lim wood imported from South Africa. Photo: Happynest

The structure has a total of 36 wooden columns with diameters of 36cm, 33cm and 30cm respectively. Photo: Brand & Law
