According to many architects, spending 10 billion is not enough to build such a house. However, the cost he spent was less than 70 million VND. Most of the "building materials" were used from discarded items, even a piece of wood from a dead person. The owner of this unique house is Mr. Pham Ky Anh. According to him, only the sofa set in the house was bought new for 20 million VND. Everything else is used from old items, you just need to be a little creative to make it new and beautiful.

Since the day construction began, people have labeled him as a “freak”, some say he is crazy, mentally ill. Yet now Mr. Anh’s “great project” has captivated many people. There was even a tycoon who, upon learning about Mr. Anh’s eco-house, came to discuss the matter of exchanging his house.

Accordingly, the price that this tycoon offered to negotiate was a villa in the center of District 1, where every inch of land is an inch of gold. However, Mr. Anh refused this offer. Because of all those years of dedication, this house is associated with many happy and sad memories, heavy with love and affection, for Mr. Anh it is priceless.

Mr. Ky Anh is very hospitable, kind and open-minded. “All the furniture in this house is the only sofa set that I bought for more than 20 million, the rest are recycled items. Everyone else threw them away, I found them still valuable so I asked for them, put in the effort to fix them up, and with a little creativity, they turned out to be genuine and unique items,” he smiled humorously.

Although not luxurious because the materials he used were all scrap, the arrangement was reasonable and pleasing to the eye.

The two bedrooms are completely off to one side, the remaining area is a common living space connected to the outdoor space. In addition, from the ground floor to the third floor, Mr. Ky Anh also placed more than 20 bird cages, with all kinds of birds, from cuckoos, magpies, red-whiskered bulbuls, doves, quails, and wagtails. Wherever you go, you can hear the bustling chirping of birds.

“I have planted two bougainvillea trees since I built my house. They are now 17 years old. Many seasons have passed since birds came to build nests and bees came to make honey on those bougainvillea trees,” he said. Mr. Anh used to be a school security guard. In 1995, because he saw his family’s difficult circumstances, a teacher at the school sold him a 40m2 plot of land on installments. By the end of 1997, he had paid off all his debts and started building his house. At first, he cast the foundation himself, then each pillar. When the pillars were erected, he covered them with corrugated iron roofs to temporarily live in, then gradually built the surrounding walls. It was not until 2014 that his family’s 1-ground-floor, 2-and-a-half-story house was completed.
