Foreign magazine praises Xuan Hinh's 5,000m2 mansion
In a recent article, DesignBoom magazine introduces the unique architecture and folk culture preservation thinking in the Dao Mau Museum project by artist Xuan Hinh.
According to DesignBoom design magazine: Located in a village near Hanoi, Xuan Hinh's mansion spans 5,000 square meters with a 50-year-old fruit garden, preserving the beauty of a modern landscape with pine trees and bonsai trees.
There is a small house here where comedian Xuan Hinh and his family relax on weekends. The design integrates new functional areas such as housing, a gallery and a kitchen around the old house, which now serves as an exhibition area for artifacts.
Being a nostalgic person, artist Xuan Hinh designs living spaces in a style imbued with traditional Vietnamese features.
The use of ancient tiles stems from the artist’s memories of regional traditions. Artist Xuan Hinh revealed that the project was built from 5 million ancient tiles and 1 million ancient bricks.
The mansion was built from 5 million ancient tiles and 1 million ancient bricks.
"Traditional ancient bricks and tiles collected from historic houses in the surrounding areas dominate the house's collection, symbolizing the commitment to preserving architectural heritage in the context of ongoing urbanization.
The use of these tiles stems from the artist's memories of ceremonies and the sacred atmosphere created by incense smoke penetrating the tiled roofs of temples", DesignBooom magazine writes.
"The King of Northern Comedy" spent many years searching for ancient tiles all over the country.
Not only is it a unique architectural work with ancient tile design, Xuan Hinh’s property also continues traditional art forms. The mansion emphasizes the importance of Mother Goddess Religion, a Vietnamese belief system, and displays mystical art, deeply rooted in the national culture.

Also according to DesignBoom, because of his love for traditional culture, artist Xuan Hinh wants to preserve the traditional cultural values of the nation for future generations. He also took the trouble to collect many things related to the Mother Goddess worship to display in the space of his house. Xuan Hinh once shared:"I want to contribute a small part to preserving the unique folk cultural values of Vietnam."
Not only is it a unique architectural work with ancient tile design, this place also displays paintings and objects related to traditional art forms.
"The King of Northern Comedy" believes that the house is also a place for him and his wife and children to relax after the hustle and bustle of life."I'm not a braggart, let people gossip. I believe that a house is a nest, a place where family members, parents, and children return after stressful working hours outside.", he shared.
The furniture used in the house is also made of wood, selected and arranged by Xuan Hinh himself.
In his old age, artist Xuan Hinh no longer appears as frequently as before. He accepts fewer shows, choosing a quiet life in his hometown, happily enjoying the countryside with his family.
