1508 London are set to deliver interiors at Haus Da Lat, a luxury living development in Vietnam that blends innovative architecture and interior design, untouched natural beauty and heartfelt hospitality.
Overlooking one of Vietnam’s most picturesque locations, the Xuan Huong Lake, Haus Da Lat occupies a five-hectare estate in the heart of the city. The project, developed by The One Destination in collaboration with Terne Holdings Singapore and BTS Bernina Private Equity Fund, comprises of a residential element consisting of 68 Sky Villas and Sky Mansions, a commercial centre, an all-suite luxury hotel, a wellness centre and a private members club.
Leading the architectural vision is Kengo Kuma and Associates (KKAA), whose sensitivity to context and ability to harmonise architecture with nature will culminate in organic forms that evoke the surrounding natural landscape, using local materials and layered textures to mirror the pine forests and terraced hillsides.
Drawing inspiration from the site’s distinctive setting and Da Lat’s blend of urban design and natural beauty, 1508 London will lead the interior design vision, resulting in a collection of meticulously curated interior experiences.
Commenting on their appointment on the project, Hamish Brown, Partner at 1508 London, says: “We’re honoured to be part of this landmark luxury development in Vietnam, collaborating with such a world-class team. Our design philosophy – grounded in measured principles and inspired by history, geography and the architectural vernacular – will shape our creative approach.
“This project presents an exciting opportunity to bring our diverse, multicultural design expertise to a vibrant new market. We look forward to crafting spaces that offer truly unique and memorable experiences for both our client and their guests in Da Lat.”
Lighting will play a vital role in shaping the guest experience – setting the mood, ensuring safety and accentuating both architectural and natural beauty. The lighting design, entrusted to Isometrix, will subtly play with shadows, mist and filtered sunlight to heighten serenity and understated opulence.
At the core of the estate is a resort managed by InterContinental Hotels & Resorts, blending local elements with its architecture. Inspired by the city’s pine forests and pinecones, the design seeks to blur the lines between the building and nature, creating a timeless architectural symbol.
The InterContinental at Haus Da Lat will provide various amenities, including restaurants, a wellness and therapy area, an indoor 4-season pool and conference and event spaces for up to 1,000 people.
“Expected to be put into operation in 2027, InterContinental at Haus Da Lat is not only a breath of fresh air but also changes the concept of tourism and resort for customers who appreciate the special natural and cultural values in Da Lat,” adds the representative of the investor of Haus Da Lat.
Haus Da Lat will also include the Haus Wellness Centre – the result of a partnership between Chiva-Som, leveraging decades of holistic expertise, and Mitchell & Eades, taking the lead on spa design and bespoke programmes encompassing fitness, mindfulness and integrative therapies.
Additionally, Haus Private Club Da Lat, due to open at the end of this year, is set to become Vietnam’s first ultra-private members’ club. The Club will be operated by Copper Beech, renowned for creating exclusive private club concepts with personalised concierge living experiences.
Known for bespoke, high-end clubs such as Soho House and The Groucho Club, the company is trusted in developing ultra-private membership clubs that foster community, discretion and cultural connection, and exemplifying discreet luxury.
Matt Hobbs, Founder & CEO of Copper Beech, concludes: “We’ve seen tremendous interest from our global network. Vietnam feels new, yet deeply rich in culture. Guests aren’t simply seeking another luxury escape – they seek meaningful connections through architecture, art and authentic human interaction. Haus Private Club embodies just that.”
