When first approached by the client the challenge was already clear, we should propose an architecture that could fit to any rooftop in the city centre.
We proposed to contrast the concrete architecture of the city, and to express freedom of form. a light ceiling covering an open space.
A new rooftop for Saigon.
“It’s possible for everyone to discover this silence within
themselves. It is there all the time, even when we are surrounded
by constant noise. Deep down in the ocean, below the waves
and ripples, you can find your internal silence.”
