Vietnamese architect Dang Viet Nga's dream was to create a house like no other in the world. Situated in the city of Da Lat (Vietnam) the Crazy House was initially a personal project, not intended to be a hotel or a tourist destination. Once completed, its true potential became evident. It had cost a lot of money and it was the financial burden of building and keeping up the house that led the creator to open it to the public as a guesthouse with ten themed apartments, each having an animal as its subject. Nga envisioned them as a homage to the various nationalities that stay there...
(If I remember well, Da Lat was a place well known for its psychedelic marijuana among American soldiers...If the local people keep the ancient tradition of growing the healing herb, it would be really nice to smoke a joint ant then visit or stay at the Crazy House...)
