Saha Casa Boutique in Da Nang uses flowing organic forms, naturalistic curves, and a bold yellow stone tone to contrast surrounding glass-faced high-rise hotels. The five-story building features a basement and rooftop pool, including a cantilevered swimming pool that extends six meters with a specialized acrylic glass front for panoramic coastal views. Interior and exterior surfaces use granite terrazzo to modulate sunlight and wind while providing tactile texture. A central atrium with a fish pond and plantings anchors the ground floor, and soft arches, vertical gardens, emerald carpets, and layered corridors create a multisensory experience of stone, scent, sound, and greenery.
Atop the building, the cantilevered swimming pool stretches six meters beyond the edge, making a bold statement. Its glass front, crafted from specialized acrylic panels, provides sweeping panoramic views and creates a feeling of weightlessness, connecting the design with the coastal surroundings. Throughout Saha Casa, the architects focus on shaping a multisensory experience through the cool touch of stone underfoot, the fragrance of plants carried on the breeze, and the gentle sound of water.
The Vietnamese team at Ho Khue Architects draws on natural imagery, particularly caves, to shape the shell of Saha Casa Boutique. Its flexible plan alternates between open and closed spaces, where soft arched doorways and windows frame corridors, gardens, and rooms. This contrast between solidity and void is accentuated by the use of granite terrazzo, a traditional, environmentally friendly material whose rough texture modulates sunlight and wind.
A central atrium, suffused with natural light and dotted with a fish pond and decorative plantings, anchors the ground floor of Saha Casa Boutique. From here, hallways branch out like arms, leading visitors through spaces layered with greenery and soft curves. Emerald carpets and vertical gardens guide the eye between floors, creating a sense of nature and inviting guests to explore as they move through the building.
