Designers Duong Thanh Danh & Tran Ngoc Nhat feel that spiritual altars are key features of Asian homes but are not necessarily compatible with modern design tastes. They therefore sought to address this issue. They designed an altar Than Tai-Tho Dia.. This features refined detail from ancient Vietnamese architecture including the head of the temple roof, the fortress structure, the non-buried column and the base, resulting in the design of "Tu Bao Duong". A high quality material such as American red oak was an important element for the altar in order to respect the existing and traditional design but also as a key part of the reimagination for more contemporary living.
