Crazy House

Pretty crazy, the brainchild of the architect daughter of a high ranking communist party member. She moved to Dalat and created this amazing place. It used to be the family house and hotel and hotel rooms, all wonderfully themed and called things like the Honey Room, Bear Room (or similar). No longer rented out as a hotel I’d imagine it makes a small fortunte from visitors. I’ve never seen anything like it. Imagination gone wild in the form of reinforced concrete, amazing carved wood, plaster and chicken wire. There’s a limit to what reinforced concrete can do though, I think and some bits are particularly wobbly. Don’t think it would pass any building regs in the UK! Kind of makes it all the more amazing. The threat of danger in an unregulated world!

Some wobbly bits!
