With a deep passion for art, I have always loved being creative and being inspired by new experiences, which grows into a lifelong fascination with design.

During my academic time, my perception of design have grown immensely, and each project has given me an opportunity to explore new ideas, respond to different challenges, and ameliorate my skills and knowledge of design. I’m living in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam and seeking an experience where I can learn and practice alongside great designers in a position that challenges me to produce high-quality works and matches my interest in further developing my vision in Interior Design.

Park Hyatt Saigon Hotel have brought me through great surprise and curiosity. The unstoppable gravitation towards its ideal location, magnificent context, beautiful modern-classic architecture, which were the very first inspiration of how I renovate this hotel’s interior. Despite the establish goal of this project is to understand and apply the knowledge, skills, processes, and theories of interior design, I take this as a chance to present new concepts and imaginative solutions based on real problems. After 5 months hard-working, the design came out to be very satisfied reflected my fascination with Midcentury Modern design, my interest in the Art Deco style with its timeless look, which is still feel fresh and modern today.

conc ep t

Because Saigon has long been considered the focal point of Vietnamese culture, Park Hyatt embraces the traditional values of French-colonial heritage that offers guests an courtesy and elegance accommodation experience. The renovation of this project based on the modern-classical architectural forms to fresh up the interior space and function, at the same time associated with traditional elements, material trends, to present the beauty of a tropical country.

M A JESTIC SAIGON HOTE L Pre-Graduation Project / 2016
Majestic Saigon Hotel is one of my favourite architecture in the city. Its marvelous classic beauty standing still in a bustling corner attracted me everytime I cross by Dong Khoi street. Opposed to its stunning scenery outside, the interior is not as good as expected. Therefore I desire to find a solution for this inspring project, which will carry the value of conservation and preservation. Besides the goal to understand and apply the knowledge, skills, processes, and theories of hospitality interior design, I also want to have a thorough understanding of Indochine Style, Midcentury Modern design, and Art Deco style all because of its timeless look.
