Crazy House - Dalat
Crazy House is in Dalat. It is a free form structure that is being built out of reinforced concrete by a fascinating
Lady. She is the daughter of a Russian man and a Vietnamese woman. In Dalat she is called the Crazy Lady. She
has a degree in Architecture from a university in Hong Kong. The building is her home but more than that it is a
hotel which is now open, even though it is not complete. You may have a room in a tree or a cave. The rooms start
at $35 USD. There are rooms and gardens and everywhere is concrete. Concrete animals, trees and mountains. There
is a concrete house that has elements of a temple and a chalet. In the main building is a restaurant and the lady’s
office. This is a must see when in Dalat. Besides being an architect, developer and hotel proprietor I think she
is also a romantic.
