D-Dalat Project, located in Trai Mat – Da Lat, spans an area of 22,000m².
Although still at the concept stage, even its very first sketches have unveiled a breathtaking vision: “An unexpected visit of extraterrestrial friends who begin a new life on a distant planet.”
This imaginative idea serves as the inspiration, guiding the architecture, spatial design, and technology throughout the entire project – a cultural, entertainment, and creative complex of a new scale.
The journey begins with the Event Grandstand – an expansive space for music festivals, community gatherings, and large-scale celebrations. More than a venue, it is a place of connection, elevating local pride and collective spirit.
Adjacent to it is the Food Truck Street, where visitors can savor diverse flavors from different regions in a lively, open, and youthful atmosphere. Beyond food, it is a cultural crossroad where culinary experiences become a universal language.
Running through the project is the Light Garden – the central spine, both landscape and immersive journey. At its heart, the central lake represents the first landing site of our “extraterrestrial friends,” surrounded by glowing fantastical flora and creatures. The field of giant flowers, light tunnel, shooting star gate, and open-air cinema plaza all combine to create a multi-layered exploration – both dreamlike and artistic, awakening every sense of the visitor.
Further above lies the Glowing Meadow with the Soul Tree – the symbolic heart of the project. Shaped with gentle cascading branches glowing softly like a living breath, it represents the life force of the land. Here, people can pause, reflect, and connect with nature through light and form.
Along the path, visitors encounter the Village Guardian Beast – a monumental art installation, both landmark and protector. Nearby is the Harvested Forest, where surreal trees glow from within, evoking the story of construction and creation. At the stream’s end lie crystal formations sparkling like gemstones, leading toward the Spirit Village – a cluster of 3D-printed hive-like dwellings, symbols of advanced technology harmonized with traditional forms of shelter.
House No. 5 – the Multipurpose Arena – is the project’s entertainment core. The ground floor features a restaurant, an axe-throwing zone, and the immersive Meowolf experience inspired by the five elements. The first floor hosts the Arcade VR, while the third floor offers a future-themed exhibition showcasing Earth’s artifacts and knowledge for all ages.
Equally unmissable is Glowy Ramen – a signature restaurant where cuisine transforms into a sensory performance. Each bowl glows in a dreamlike ambiance, blending the familiar with the extraordinary.
Finally, House No. 2 rises like a monumental Energy Cocoon – a symbol of incubation and new beginnings. The ground floor hosts a restaurant, while the first and second floors open into an expansive world of electronic games. More than entertainment, it is a fusion of modern leisure and symbolic architecture, a highlight of the entire project.
D-Dalat is not just an entertainment complex. It is a living tapestry of architecture, technology, and art – using the language of imagination to elevate real-world experience. A place where people rediscover joy, connection, and creativity amidst the misty highlands of Da Lat.
