The past and present meet in this award-winning house, creating a cultural dialogue that celebrates the love for Saigon’s architectural heritage.
In Saigon, there is a story about Van Duong Phu, an architectural masterpiece, built by Mr. Vuong Hong Sen, a culturist, an academic, and a famous collector of antiques who had deep knowledge of southern Vietnam and wrote many books about Saigon. At the end of his life, he wanted to convert his house into a museum in order to prevent the antiques from being stolen and to introduce Saigon culture to visitors. Alas, after his death, the house has been abandoned, and the spirit and soul of the place was forgetten.
