After 3 years of construction, Bat Trang Ceramic Community House has been put into operation in 2021. The purpose of the building is to showcase artisans’ works, retell the history of the village, and introduce the different materials and techniques used in pottery-making. With a total investment of 150 billion VND, the project is part of "The Center for Quintessence of the Vietnamese craft village” with the intention of developing craft villages and preserving the traditions of pottery craft more than 500 years old.

Bat Trang Ceramic Community House plays an important role in village planning. It is located at the gateway to welcome tourists, facing the Bac Hung Hai canal and connecting to the Red River. The building form is carefully considered to control construction density and height, create harmonious proportions and views, improve the canal landscape, and recreate the hustling and bustling scene of the canal’s ancient pottery market.

This five-storeys multi-functional complex takes inspiration from the artistry of ceramic production, with its architectural form mirroring the seven interlocking turntables, evoking the image of a ceramic artisan molding clay into overlapping curves that tend to expand gradually. This idea produces a visually captivating result where concrete frames folded into steps, optimizes the functionality of the space, function as display shelves or staircase between floors. From another perspective, the project is reminiscent of the image of Bat Trang's antique gourd furnace.

The open area of the 1st floor is created between these seven upside-down domes for public events. Skylights at the top allow for natural daylighting and cooling of the area, enabling hot air to flow upward.

In order to emphasize the rustic and idyllic characteristics of the pottery village, the reddish-brown color of rough ceramics is the main theme. The striking form of the building is cladded with fiber-reinforced concrete, which is light enough to be expanded upwards and easy to construct for the local builders. In addition, earthen bricks, mosaic ceramic, and pottery tiles are used throughout the building, making good use of materials that are characteristic of the Bat Trang craft village.

Bat Trang Ceramic Community House stands not only as a symbol of architectural ingenuity but also as a living tribute to the enduring legacy of the Bat Trang craft village, preserving its cultural heritage for generations to come.
