Cultivating Community: The Vision of Jackfruit Village
Nestled in Trai Lang Village, Co Dong Commune, Son Tay town, Jackfruit Village sprawls over 1.7 hectares, enveloped by a serene lake in the South and South-west. Adorned with 38 jackfruit trees and 13 pomelo trees, the site epitomizes the rustic charm of Northern Vietnamese countryside.
The Essence of the Project
At the heart of Jackfruit Village lies the Meditation House, a sanctuary for reflection and communal gatherings. Radiating outwards from this nucleus are residential units, ingeniously nestled amidst the jackfruit and pomelo trees to harness their natural shade. Elevated house platforms mitigate against termites and humidity while facilitating surface drainage. Each dwelling harmonizes seamlessly with the local flora and terrain, offering residents an immersive experience in nature.
Redefining Hospitality
Jackfruit Village pioneers a novel approach to hospitality, blending the comforts of modern living with the charm of rural life. Guests are invited to immerse themselves in the local farming community, residing in a variety of accommodations ranging from detached villas to semi-detached abodes. The integration of agricultural practices ensures a daily supply of organic produce, while a range of amenities—including local cuisine, swimming pools, and traditional spa facilities—promotes cultural exchange and holistic well-being.
Fostering Community and Connection
Central to the ethos of Jackfruit Village is a sense of belonging and interconnectedness. The design encourages communal living and fosters connections with neighboring villages through cycling and boating routes.
Sustainable Design for a Harmonious Future
In its architectural expression, Jackfruit Village embraces sustainable principles, utilizing locally-sourced materials such as adobe bricks and thatched roofs to blend seamlessly with the natural landscape. Each building incorporates environmentally-friendly features, including biological septic tanks and wastewater filtration systems, ensuring minimal ecological impact.
A Sanctuary of Serenity
Above all, Jackfruit Village seeks to create a sanctuary of simplicity and tranquility, offering guests a glimpse into the timeless beauty of Vietnamese rural life. By honoring local traditions and nurturing community spirit, it aspires to foster a sense of harmony and well-being for both residents and guests alike.
A Vision of Tolerance and Harmony
Jackfruit Village embodies the spirit of tolerance—towards nature, towards fellow beings, and towards oneself. Rooted in the rich tapestry of local culture, it stands as a beacon of harmony amidst the tumult of modernity and urbanization.
