Project Descriptions

The site is located in a prime location in the Ho Chi Minh City which is one of the most active and modern city in Vietnam and the South East Asia as well. And this place, a land with two sides access ways is really potential for allocation one of the most famous motorcycle brands in the world. Besides some of pros, there are some cons that we need to deal with to endure the succeed of the project that are irregular shape of the land boundary and quite small area and a existing heritage among the land, so we need to consider and design very carefully to have the final blue print which is a combination of aesthetics and efficiency of land-use and functionality.

Client intended to proceed this buildings as the main showroom for this area including some sub facilities but really meaningful to the community of motorcycle-lovers of motor coffee where people can seat together to talk and discuss and deep into their favorites of motorcycle or waiting area when their motors are maintained at the service center all including to the showroom. Beside that, there area some auxiliary functions to support the showroom, like office and merchandise and administration.

The strong and impressed form and mass with the support of the themed colors from the client's brand identity-inspired are main factors lead us to the final design. A corridor at right side was made to connect the rear and front sides for circulation. Moreover, we decided to use the atrium to get more open spaces with sloped roof being went down from outside to inside. At the ground floor, we cut and make a void directly to the existing building to create the main hall entrance that enhance the atrium space and a catwalk-inspired gallery to our guests and customers.

The overall aesthetic of this design, we used a mix and match of "tropical style and industrial style" characterized by steel and exposed structures with the strong themed color to create the impressed feeling to everyone who come across. That is the design that not only unique by the way we manipulate and play with the spaces, beside that it tell and show up strongly a story of our client brand - one of the best motorcycle lead all around the world.
