This a boutique resort situated on a private beach located off the main road linking Cam Ranh and Nha Trang. The resort is designed as an eco-friendly environment utilising green roofs and ‘low’ technology to ensure water and energy conservation.
The accommodation includes a large reception, restaurants, leisure and recreation rooms, a spa, a VIP compound, a low rise condominium and 5 types of bungalow. The interior are designed to suit the modern tropical architecture to ensure each building is light, simple and elegant. Transform designed the landscaping with three main plant species; the sculptural frangipani to greet visitors in style; the mystical bamboo located at the intermediate spa area; and the palm zone to withstand the tropical weather at the bottom of the site near the beach.

Fleur de Lys Hotel is a new landmark rising 15 levels above the heart of Quy Nhon City surrounded by mainly lowrise small scale buildings.
The ambitious design brief to develop a hotel based on first principles within a relatively small urban site was based on the client’s vision to create their very first hotel. There are currently no international hotel brands in the city so this will become the prime destination hotel offering guests and visitors a full array of services and accommodation.
Scope: Full services
Area: 1,000 m² (3 show-houses)
Client: Kita Group
Date: March, 2021
The houses are designed with a common language of architecture for each of its residential zone.
The buildings are designed with variety so that no two buildings beside each other are the same. The different house facades means that each street of houses is special giving diversity to each home and its relationship with its neighbour.
This concept is employed on a larger scale so that each of the nine residential zones have their own separate identities. The varying design styles further examplifies the multiplicity of the project.
Scope: Excutive Design
Area: 305 m²
Client: Jen Tuan Chau

Caye Sereno is located on Tuan Chau Island comprising of 18 exclusive villas with views of the UNESCO World Heritage Ha Long Bay. The design concept was developed by Marcio Kogan in his signature minimalist style using exposed fair-faced concrete.
Transformed developed the architectural design marrying our approach to the interiors and landscaping to ensure that the design intent has been adhered to. Due to its simplicity, careful detailing was imposed with complimentary materials of basalt stone, bamboo and glass.

The house is set on a large piece of land next to the Saigon River. Our young client wanted a small house which was unique. The building is composed of elliptical forms which rotates from floor to floor.

Near the river is a resort like pool complete with an entertainment pavilion for parties.
