oh.hi studio office

Existing approachThe office is located inside an old house built in the typical modernist architecture of South Vietnam.

Undefined Living Space

Located in the new rising contemporary urban area, well-planned and well-duplicated, the core of the architect's approach is actually to move away from the feeling of living in the identical ‘hanging boxes' - by the asymmetrical curve wall finished in the non-flat texture style, giving it a unique and natural character.

This is reflected from the living space on the ground floor to 02 bedrooms upstairs. The off-white color tone reminds users of relaxation. And of course, the free curves soften all of the conventional angles. Minq Bui The original la... More
