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.

Oskar is a well-established food & beverage group based in Thailand with locations all over South East Asia.
For their first location in Vietnam, our client wanted to duplicate the success of their Thailand location but with a lot of Vietnamese influence. This bar is located in District 1 of Ho Chi Minh City and has become one of the most popular locations for unique-flavor drinks and wholesome delicious foods.
We were given the task of developing from a "sketch" into construction documents as well as manage and control the entire construction of the project.
Our team of designers, managers, and contractors completed the project on-time, within budget.
