Anchor House / MM++ architects

Floating amidst the jungle of the Mekong Delta rests Anchor House – monastic minimalism anchored in the tropics, an idyllic spot to retreat to and spectate the surrounding natural environment. Situated on a patch of land enveloped by foliage, the concrete hull is submerged in the jungle, with its sail-angled roof providing shelter from the elements. The graceful open form, with austere interiors, raw finishings, internal mezzanine, exposed terrace, and glass-encased lavatory, give rise to multi-layered decks with multi-faceted experiences - bathe in inspiration and soak up earth’s offerings, or retire into sobriety and cherish the simple pleasures of everyday life.
