A house made of red basaltic soil in the Central Highlands town of Da Lat has attracted many a curious visitor with its quirky charm. 

The unique house is located near Tuyen Lam Lake, about 10 km to the south of Da Lat, and features a map of Vietnam on its roof.

Artist Trinh Ba Dung built the house from red basaltic soil, a symbol of the Central Highlands. The unbaked red clay can withstand the impacts of both sun and rain.

The house, consisting of two main sections surrounded by water, is reached via a small bridge.

One chamber is used as a bedroom, with its walls decorated with Central Highlands themes.

The center piece of the dining room is a large table with giant chairs, also made of red basaltic soil.

Both heating system and bathroom are also kitted out in soil.

This bed stradles a pond.

Only the roof frame is made of wood.

The house has been recognized by Vietnam’s record books as "the most unique and first unbaked red basaltic soil house" and "largest unbaked red basaltic soil house with Vietnam’s map on the roof."
