Uncle Ho's stilt house is a two-story wooden architecture with a tiled roof. The house was built in 1958 with the architecture of the Tay-Thai ethnic stilt house in Viet Bac province. The house is 10.5 m long, 6.2 m wide, two floors high.
Before starting the design work, great President Ho Chi Minh talked to architect Nguyen Van Ninh very carefully about his aspirations for the house. He wanted a stilt house to remind him of the time he lived in Viet Bac. The first floor should be filled with fresh air, the second floor has two rooms, there are partitions between these two rooms so that he could place his bookshelves. He also wanted to have corridors all around the house.
The stilt house is the residence where Uncle Ho spent the longest time and his last days of his life. The house appeared companies with many important events in the country. This is both architectural and cultural heritage, which contains great spiritual values. (Photo: VN Express)
