Overview

The First Seed
in the Heart of Đà Lạt

 

Hoa Màu is more than just a café — it is the first seed of the Đà Lạt Art Village dream. A place where artists meet, ideas bloom, and kindred souls harmonize together. Built from the renovation of an old house belonging to the people of ancient Đà Lạt, this space will blend a cozy café with distinctive pastry flavors, an ideas centre where artists come to connect, and a meeting point for souls united by art.

The Story

An Old House
Awaits Its Rebirth

 

Hoa Màu — a name that carries within it the gentle essence of Đà Lạt and the vitality of fresh ideas. This will be the first "seedling," created through the renovation of an old house. Start with a small café renovation, but build a step-by-step action plan to quickly evolve into a community and cultural platform.

Space Renovation

An Old Warehouse
Reimagined

 

The ground floor is reorganised into 12 zones — from a front yard waiting space and display zone, through café seating and kitchen, to an Ondol experience room, back yard garden, takeaway kiosk, and cavana. The existing structure is preserved and renovated with minimal intervention.

Existing Site

Before the
Transformation

 

The existing building — an old house in the heart of Đà Lạt — holds the character and memory of the city within its walls. The renovation approach respects this heritage while breathing new life into every corner.
