Vietnamese architect Dan Viet Nga has created a unique home like no one else in the world.
In fact, it is called Crazy House "Han Nga Guest House».
It is located in the city of Da Lat, Lam Dong province in Vietnam. His life this house started as a personal project architect.
He was not supposed to be a hotel or a tourist attraction.
But after the completion of the house will definitely stand out from the rest.
The city itself was established as a spa resort in the 1890s. And now in this city a unique guest house.
Naturally, it has managed to create cheap.
And that financial difficulties associated with construction and maintenance of the house, forced him to open his creator to the public.
Madhouse appeared, largely due to the tales.
He looks like a huge tree - something average between the world of Tolkien and Disney, interspersed with elements in the style of Gaudi and Dali.
Throughout the house there are natural forms - often in the form of animals such as giraffes and bears.
This large organic space spiders are fighting for a place under the sun. Rectilinear house can not be called, and inside it is like a maze.
If Uncle Walt Disney lived today, he would surely come up with something like this.
Although the creator of House Dan Viet Nga studied to be an architect, this madhouse she created without the aid of any auxiliary architectural resources (eg, drawings!).
She just made a drawing, in which he outlined his vision of the house. And then hired local artisans and craftsmen to her fantasies come true.
"Tree" in the center of the house appeared thanks to local banyan tree - fig tree.

As if reflecting the chaos of nature, the windows of the building - uneven, and the entire house is almost no right angles.
Yeah, this place is hard to describe. The local People's Committee says it is - an example of expressionism.
The local municipality for many years was against the construction of the house. Officials are worried about safety, not to mention the aesthetic appearance.
Dalat is famous for its villas and boulevards in the French style. Madhouse not quite fit into this exquisite cityscape.
But Nga was very determined, and eventually surrendered to the authorities under its pressure.
The guest house is not less than 10 themed rooms, each of which has its own animal.
There is a room dedicated to the tiger, kangaroo, eagle and other animals. Architect associates them with different nationalities, whose representatives stay in this house.
For example, here's the eagle represents Americans who Nga describes how big and strong (and which, incidentally, are paying about $ 30 a night at this hotel).
On the other side of the building, there is an ant room dedicated to the Vietnamese, which should symbolize their national traits such as diligence. Nga is often called "crazy Dalat." Maybe it is not so and crazy.
