concon story
Hanoi has numerous little alleyways, secret passages and long paths of peaceful intervals in between the chaos and disorder. Like black voids that link light to light. The old Noi Mieu alley was an open alley. People can reach Hang Ngang, Hang Dao, Hang Duong, Hang Bac, and Hang Buom street through Noi Mieu alley. From being quiet, rusted and reserved...suddenly erupted into commotion. The commotion then falls back into silence. Then the old silences have been buried by time and urbanization. Now, from Noi Mieu alley, we can only 'pass by' other streets by looking through small windows that open like eyes. From the eyes of windows, secret nooks and crannies of Hanoi appear. What remains of a 'long-lived' Hanoi still lingers in the shredded silence. A Hanoi Old Quarter is recreated in Concon House. Like how architects use architecture to dialogue with tradition. You will have the opportunity to discover and converse with the little secrets of Hanoi's Old Quarter through the windows in the small rooms stacked like matchboxes.
