Thanh Nhut, Hoi An Dong
A house, a food garden and a dome for the night sky, on a 315.8 m² plot. Scroll to walk in.
This is not a picture of a plan. It is the 3D model, cut 1.2 m above the floor and seen from straight above.
Raise the cut, and the walls grow out of the paper.
At the gate, the drawing becomes a place.
The front steps lead to the workshop. The front door is round the side, up from the east path.
Each room stays a drawing until you reach it.
Entry hall. Straight ahead, the kitchen is still a drawing.
The telescope pier. One concrete column that rises through every floor to the dome.
Kitchen, dining and living. Through the glass, the garden is still a drawing.
The rear porch, 3 m deep, with room for a long table.
Then the food garden: fruit trees, berries, herbs, and bananas round the compost.
Look back. The dome is up there, and that is the way next.
Up past the balcony as the light goes. The drawing turns to night with it.
The roof terrace, with pads for portable scopes. The dome's door faces it.
Inside, a 12-inch Dobsonian on the pier that rose through the house.
The shutter opens, and the walk keeps going.
From the ground to the sky. Up here, clear of the roof, the Southern Cross.
This device is struggling with the live walk. Watch the film
Thanh Nhut, Hoi An Dong
A film of the walk: the floor plan that becomes the house, from the gate through the kitchen and the food garden, up to the dome and the night sky.
The live walk did not start, so here is the film of it.
Concept, not for construction. The plot boundary is fitted on imagery and not surveyed.
