This image plunges us into the heart of traditional Vietnamese architecture, in Hoi An. The eye is immediately drawn to the depth of the frame, which cuts across the entire house to open onto a lively scene outside. Through the open door, we see a street vendor standing by the river, surrounded by colourful wares, as if suspended in time.
The dark wooden building, with its sturdy columns and weathered tile roof, evokes the architectural style typical of the old houses of Hoi An. The carved woodwork, closed upper shutters and hand-crafted details add a striking warmth and authenticity.
This contrast between inner calm and outer movement perfectly embodies the unique atmosphere of the old town: a place where past and present coexist harmoniously. The eye is guided by the lines of the wooden floor, which lead towards the light outside, revealing all the poetry of an ordinary moment in life.
