The prompt for this project was to design a home that weaves together Vietnamese and Irish architectural influences, honoring the heritage of both clients. Eco-friendly features were central to the concept, including hempcrete walls as a sustainable alternative to spray insulation and a traditional thatch roof. The result is a home that feels whimsical, storied, and truly one of a kind.
