With the footprint of only 25 square meters, our team was faced with the challenging task of making this unique project "feel" bigger than it actually is.
We call this project The House of 2-Halves mainly because this building has two primary functions. The top two floors are designed for a private residence while the ground and mezzanine level allows for "public/commercial" use.
The use of exterior materials was very important since it needs to visually describe these two types of functions. At the same time, the interior also needs to reflect this duality usage of the space which means we have to make sure that the materials we use can be functional for external and internal applications.

A premier co-working space, CirCo has been expanding consistently since 2017. This co-working office, located in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City, is the fourth location for CirCo.
As with any co-working space, the primary purpose is to be flexible, adaptable, and open. The unique challenge of creating such space is to make it personal for every user but also allow it to give a sense of engagement where people come together to share and develop their ideas.
Our client - who are co-working experts - knows what it takes to create a creative but yet professional type of space for their young, hip, and energetic users. We wanted to make sure we translate this intent into every part of the design, from the wall textures to the functionality of the furniture.
