M VILLA: A Tropical Vietnamese Duplex by D1 Architects
There?s a lot to love in Hoi An, one of Vietnam?s most beautiful traditional towns. For starters, there are its glorious white sand beaches dotted with tropical palm trees. Then there?s the ancient trading port of Old Town Hoi An, which dates back to the 15th century. Even better, this area’s historic architecture is among some of the best-preserved in the entire nation.
A lush ?coconut forest? of palm trees along the edge of the river acts as a transitional zone, helping to further alleviate flooding concerns.
