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.

Mirum - which merged with Wunderman Thompson - is a creative marketing agency located in District 3 of Ho Chi Minh City.
A global enterprise with offices all over the world, our challenge for this Wunderman office is to make sure it lives up to the standard of its famous brand.
With over 200 staff in this office, Wunderman wanted to create a space that is not only functional for every individual - since it is a multi-national corporation - but also must maintain a strict clean creative edge that the company is known for.
Our ID team created a unique palette of edgy but balance colors along with developing various multi-function type of communal areas for everyone to any time of the day.
