Welcome to the Dakbla River hotel complex in Kontum, Vietnam, where guests can relax in a café with striking bamboo decor.
Bamboo café design in Kontum, Vietnam
Set on a corner site, the café is composed of two parts: a main bamboo structure with a flat roof and a nearby concrete kitchen. The main building is surrounded by a pond and faces the main street and the Dakbla River, with the hotel and restaurant to the west. Thanks to the open structure and the natural shape of its columns, the café can be ventilated without air conditioning, even on the hottest days. The café now serves breakfast, dinner, and tea for hotel guests. It is also a popular choice for wedding receptions.
Bamboo café design in Vietnam
The roof of the café is supported by several bamboo columns. The material is extremely durable and protects the space from wind during the rainy season, and the wood was treated with traditional local methods. The atmosphere feels close to a rainforest, surrounded by natural beauty. Large sofas and wooden tables provide generous seating for guests. During the day, sunlight filters through the interlaced roof; in the evening, large pendant lamps create a romantic mood, while the pond reflects the light. Using local materials was an economical and characterful choice, and the café quickly became a favorite gathering place for local residents. Architects: Vo Trong Nhia
