Agritourism Model

This model goes beyond simply offering a retreat; it provides visitors with hands-on agricultural experiences. The area includes 85 farmstays interspersed with restaurants and 25 villas. Visitors can choose to stay in a farmstay, where they will join local residents in agricultural activities such as farming and animal husbandry.

Permaculture

KHÔNG GIAN ĐỌC ĐA CHỨC NĂNG

Diện tích: 1300m2

Sức chứa: 200 người

Cao độ trần: 7200 Mục đích sử dụng: Đọc sách Đánh giá không gian: Khoảng giếng trời lắp kính lấy sáng, 4 mặt kính tương đối nhiều, tận dụng ánh sáng tự nhiên. Trần cao thông thoáng. Lưới cột lớn tương đối dày đặc, cần đưa ra giải pháp bố trí phù hợp để không bị cản trở tầm nhìn.

Permaculture is a sustainable ecological agricultural model, not only a farming method but also a way of life. It helps people live in harmony with nature, reconnecting with essential skills like farming and animal husbandry, while also contributing to environmental protection and the sustainable development of communities.

COMMUNITY LOBBY SPACE

CREATING COZY SEATING PLATFORMS, NATURE-INSPIRED SEATING STYLE

The seating arrangement is divided into large groups, resembling tree trunks and the mist surrounding them, as if sitting together under a large tree canopy. The large columns mimic tree trunks by casting concrete and imprinting bark textures to create the desired effect.

COMMUNITY ACTIVITY SPACE:

This is a large open area that connects with nature. It is suitable for hosting community activities such as workshops, events, performances, and music festivals.

Therefore, movable partitions are created to accommodate various activities. Additionally, stackable chairs are used, which can be folded and hung on the wall when not in use, to maximize space and enhance flexibility.

COMMUNITY READING SPACE

DIVERSIFYING READING CULTURE:

In addition to its primary function as a reading space, this area also serves as a place to connect people through reading culture. Therefore, creating community-oriented seating arrangements is essential.

The seating is designed to be flexible, allowing for the organization of sharing sessions, storytelling, and other activities beyond just reading.

FARM-TO-TABLE RESTAURANT

The restaurant space aims to evoke the feeling of dining on a farm. Therefore, it should reflect the image of a Dalat farm as a large greenhouse enveloped in early morning mist over vegetable beds and fields.

The restaurant space features a floor made entirely of gravel to provide tactile and auditory sensations, enhancing the natural experience for users. Since the dining is intended for families of tourists staying at the farmstays, the restaurant’s furniture needs to enhance connectivity. Therefore, the space utilizes low bench-style tables and seating arrangements for groups of 4-8 people.

FARMSTAY

The veranda is a space where people are inside but still connected to the outdoors, providing a peaceful spot to enjoy the fresh air and observe the pure morning dew. The farmstay space is designed to foster human connection through this romantic setting.

A UNIQUE HERITAGE

Rooted in the 1960s era of glamorous travel, Le Méridien remains a gathering place for people to savour the good life and delight in the discovery of destinations worldwide.

TIMELESS CHIC DESIGN

Conceptualized by a French airline brand in the 1960s, this era served as our inspiration when developing our distinct yet cohesive design identity. To define this aesthetic, we looked to our unique roots—the days when jet-setting was most glamorous. The iconic midcentury modern design of this time period influenced the traveller’s experience then, and it deeply influences us now.

BRAND’S COLOR

the building

The main goal of this project is to make the brand’s identity and the local culture blend together. The way to be inspired is to understand clearly about Le Meridien, which is a premium hotel brand owned by Marriott International. The brand was born in the era of glamorous travel, they believe that everyone should explore their world in style. So, each place they come, they bring the idea of exploration into the hotel. This is the reason why I want Le Meridien Saigon to recreate the 60s Saigon port’s atmosphere. In the result, everyone comes here can be in the beauty of timeless port art.

the building the brand

At Rice Creative, everyone inspires each other. They foster connections with smart minds to create impactful solutions. They have a unique studio culture that inspires their team to lead with commitment, passion and pride.

The building is a renovation project from an old building built in the 1990s, and it has been designed completely differently from the original shape. It has a modern design, a contrasting combination of materials. Suitable for young customers.

Being inspired by Rice Creative’s artworks and branding designs, I re-design their office interior to the whole new one in my personal project at UAH. I expect to turn their workspace into a creative hub, where human activities interconnect with the office environment, makes it the best place for everyone to be creative.

1st floor plan

The lobby includes functions such as display, reception and waiting area. I brought the most iconic image of the brand into the reception - the grain of rice. The surrounding spaces bring the colors of the rice fields, bringing a sense of familiarity with the brand and Vietnamese rice culture.

2nd floor plan

The conference room is a place where people brainstorm new ideas together, so I want when people enter this space, it is totally different from other spaces, which has the most modern and fresh space in the building. I hope that everyone can create unique ideas that break through traditional thoughts.

3rd floor plan

The workspace of Rice Creative has to connect people in space together. So I had the idea to create voids, allowing people to see each other from any angle in the space. The main color is the color of the rice crop season, combined with new materials such as metal, steel, glass,...

about the project

động đậy event

Adress: 28 Thao Dien, District 2, HCMC

Vietnamese puppetry art is one of the oldest traditional art forms, reaching an artistic level with high spiritual value, playing an important role in the spiritual life of the people.

This is a group project hold by UAH students who are in an event course. After completing the event proposal, each person will complete their own 3D design for the event.

The main target is to design a space for the week of exhibitions and performances of Vietnamese puppetry. Design an eye-catching space, attracting the curiosity of attendees. The exhibition space needs to emphasize point lighting and apply interactive technologies to the space.

Therefore, my idea named “Changing Colors - Changing Times”. Each different moment will bring a different feeling about the water puppetry space. Attendees will experience a time line about puppets, a space represents a flexible and gentle vibe as ripples on a lake.a

exhibition space

The exhibition space consists of 3 sections: photo area, puppet area and interactive area. Each section will offer visitors a different exhibition experience. The color of the space is warm, helping guests to have a feeling of reminiscing about each period of the puppets.

Brand’s story

We create experiences that will enable people to discover (or re-discover) chocolate. We want to bring not only quality, sustainably sourced cacaotrace chocolate. But also chocolate creations made specially for the Vietnamese taste. We prioritize using local ingredients to support the local farmers. And when you are here with us, we simply hope that you will find a moment of happiness.

Idea generation

Construction context

T3 Architects designed the first “The Cocoa Project” in Saigon, a friendly and airy space bringing together sustainable architecture and sustainably sourced cacao trace chocolate. The main design intention of T3 Team was to recover the existing modernist Villa from the 50s and give it a second life dedicated to the Cocoa & Pastry.

The journey of cocoa’s beans

Brutalism also places an emphasis on structural spatial depth created in furniture with raw materials, textured surfaces, simple silhouettes and geometric shapes

Design direction

Type: armchair

Functional and aesthetic requirements:

- Follow the armchair standards

- Comfortable, convenient for the users

- Fit into the building’s vibe

Colors and materials requirements:

- Materials: Wood/ Leather/ Steel

- Easy to find and construct

Shape that we are looking for:

- Shape that is bold and firm

- Creative and unique shape

- Represent the contrast between melted chocolate and the

Cocoa shell Rough surface Brutalist style materials

the feeling of melting of chocolate by soft finishings, elegant and curvy shapes.

The Chocolatier Chair is inspired by a cocoa’s life story. It begins from a strong, rough tree and finally becomes a soft, sweet chocolate bar, which is called “From bean to bar” process. The chair’s frame represents the roughness of a shell. The chair’s cushion is totally contrasted by the exquisite finishing and shape, same like the chocolatier’s process of making chocolate.
