Arriving at Hai Hau (Nam Dinh), going on the country roads, sometimes the houses with stubby roofs will look beautiful.

This is a roof house built in 1975 by Mr. Tran Cong Tam's family, 70 years old, in Group 4, Yen Dinh town, Hai Hau.

The roof is completely made of rice straw with a thickness of nearly 1 m, the inside is linked by very solid columns, ribbons and sesame.

Thanks to this structure, the house is always warm in winter and cool in summer.

To make the roof of a straw house more expensive to make concrete ceiling.A set of roofs costs at least 10 million VND to buy good quality rice from fields, bamboo and wood materials, workers and about 5 years to change once.

On the roof of the house, there are 5 small straw mounds, called Roms or "five happiness", are bamboo and steel bars, which are rolled to catch the roof, avoid windstorms and also decorate the roof.

Under the roof there is a very solid sesame system.

The house has been going on for more than 40 years but is still very solid so far, only the roof is 5 years instead.

The owner of the house is a bonsai cultivator.This year, 70 years old, health is weak, he switched to growing ginger.The old ginger garden gives the house a different setting.
