A five-story wooden house made of precious timber, with a total value of about 30 billion Vietnamese dong, took over 2 years to build. At the end of August, a 28-meter-high five-story wooden house located in the center of Ha Tinh city was put into operation. Local residents living nearby are deeply admiring the new structure.

The owner of the house himself, Nguyen Van Lan (75 years old), shared that in early 2015 he bought 600 wooden blocks in Laos, including 22 units of precious timber 28 meters high, and then shipped the materials to Vietnam. Before construction, Van Lan visited the forest protection department to obtain a construction permit.

তিনি decided to build the house on a 180 m2 plot of land in the center of Ha Tinh city. When discussing with the architect, he was informed that building more than 3 floors would not be possible. It was not easy to draw completely accurate blueprints for building specifically 5 floors. During the wet season—due to rain, work was suspended for 3 months.

At the end of April 2015, Nguyen Van Lan erected the first two wooden pillars. According to him, this was the most difficult stage — organizing the operation of cranes on a narrow plot. At the peak of work, there were more than 100 workers on the site simultaneously.

The front door is made of glass, and the house's design features engraved carved figures. The homeowners plan to use the first 3 floors for business and the 4th and 5th for family living.

In Laos and Thailand, such timber is used for building boats. Therefore, a house made from such materials is expected to be very durable. The electrical system in the house is equipped to all modern safety standards. Surprisingly, an elevator is installed in the house.

When Van Lan was building the house, many people asked why he didn't find a larger plot of land to build an even more beautiful house, but the owner said: "what we have now is very pleasant and beautiful, nothing more is needed."

Hoang Quoc Huan, Director of the Ha Tinh City Forest Protection Department, stated that all the timber for building the house was imported from abroad, with a full package of documents and in compliance with legal grounds.
