We searched high and we searched low, went left and right for someone that would capture our vision and interpret it perfectly in cement and hardwood. One day, emerging from one deep Pinterest dive, after hitting the bottom of the Architectural Digest, we suddenly had a craving for vegan food!
Another internet scouting it is, the keyboard went “click clack” for another ten minutes until the cursor finally landed on the homepage of “Uu Dam Chay ”. We headed there to try vegan “Bun rieu” but instead, fell in love with Uu Dam’s architecture.

Greeted us at the sidewalk, was a glass chamber entrance, giving us a peek of what’s waiting inside. As the aroma of green tea leaves introduced itself when the doors were pushed open, we saw a giant buddha figure made entirely out of bamboo strings, so beyond beautiful, it’s hard to believe that it is real! Held together by clear acrylic strings, the figure looks like it’s hovering above the wooden furniture and just below the modest yellow flickering lights on the ceiling. As the chairs patiently waited for their sitters to finish mesmerizing over stone brick walls and sculpted obsidian figures, the search for an architect came to an end.
Whoever wicked enough to construct this out of pure imagination must, must be the one designing LePine House.

The wicked mind in question was Le Hung Trong, an accomplished, talented young architect .
An email was sent and the following week from when 4 bowls of vegan bun rieu was devoured, ideas, blueprints, 3D models came rushing in like a breeze.
