Although the new location is about 150km from the old house, far from the market, far from the center, and has no street lights, Huyen and her husband still chose to come here, buying an 800m2 plot of land in the middle of a vast tea hill.

“The idea of ​​a garden house close to nature between my husband and I started in early 2023.

At that time, after going through a stressful time of the epidemic, both of them thought back about their stressful and busy life, then discussed and planned to move to Moc Chau, designing their dream place," Ms. Huyen shared the reason for moving to a new land.

The garden house in Son La is far from the market, far from the center, and has no street lights, but every morning when she wakes up, Ms. Huyen can watch the poetic sunrise and hear the cheerful crowing of roosters.

To ensure convenience and aesthetics, Huyen and her husband divided the large plot of land into 2 areas. Of which, the residential area has a floor area of ​​about 120 square meters, the rest is space for the yard, parking space, warehouse and clean vegetable garden.

She revealed that she did not hire a designer nor use any blueprints, but instead researched and built her dream home with all her heart. This also helped the couple save money and be creative according to their needs.

“We chose each decorative item ourselves and arranged it beautifully. We bought the most basic items in the house ourselves, meticulously collecting them for a year from the start of construction until the house was completed,” she said.

Ms. Huyen said that because of the typical climate in Moc Chau, which is a long rainy season and cold winter, construction work encountered many difficulties. Not to mention the process of finding a suitable and experienced construction team was not easy because most local workers had not been exposed to the new designs that the homeowners desired.

In addition, some other factors such as lack of materials, construction conditions not allowing... made the time to complete the house of Ms. Huyen and her husband even longer, taking about 1 year.

The house is designed without any standards, harmoniously combining wood, glass, sunlight and natural wind.

“My husband, Giang, takes on almost all the work, from designing the space, choosing materials, supervising the construction, and even doing it himself when there are no workers.

There were rainy days with thick fog, but he still bent down under the porch, patiently hammering each wooden bar and adjusting each brick, just hoping the house would be exactly as he had envisioned it.

For me, it is those "imperfections" that make the house more real and soulful," the female homeowner shared.

Every item in the house is carefully selected, some are designed by the homeowner or collected from old objects.

Ms. Huyen's family house is designed in the style of a stilt house, with a rustic style, mixed with a gentle classic, inspired by nature and mountain life, focusing on using raw natural materials such as wood, stone and metal.

The space includes 4 bedrooms, 1 kitchen area and 1 common room.

The interior is mostly made of wood with warm tones, leaning towards natural elements, bringing a familiar, close feeling.

Green living space all year round helps members relax and relieve stress.

“We built the house with our own ideas, shaped by our experiences in daily life. Many items in the house were made by my husband himself or restored from old items, both saving costs and containing many memories. Simply put, this is a house created by hands and a persistent heart,” she shared.

In addition to the residential area, Huyen and her husband also decorate the garden space with many types of plants such as tea, flowers, fruit trees, vegetables...

They also decorate small landscapes, pave stone paths or build a small corner for drinking tea and relaxing.

The female homeowner admits that this garden house not only contains the efforts and life purpose of the couple, but also becomes a place to preserve the life values ​​they pursue: simplicity, connection and a healthy environment for their daughter to grow up.

“Every time we come home, we feel re-energized. And most of all, we feel at peace - something my husband and I have never had before,” the 31-year-old woman shared.
