009 – DEOCON

Where the Journey Slows DownLocated along National Road 32 in Phu Tho, the project sits within the rolling landscape of Northern Vietnam’s midlands, where steep terrain and dense vegetation shape the character of the place.Designed as a two-storey steel structure with a pitched roof, the building responds to its surroundings through simplicity, proportion, and material restraint. Its form follows the contours of the hillside, allowing the architecture to settle quietly into the landscape.More than a place to rest, the project was envisioned as a gateway to future growth — creating opportunities for tourism, local businesses, and new connections between travelers and the surrounding community.

008 – VIET.DINH

Tradition ReimaginedDesigned for Expo 2025 in Osaka, Việt Đình reinterprets the spatial qualities of traditional Vietnamese architecture through a contemporary lens.Inspired by communal houses, temple courtyards, and the philosophy of Thiên – Địa – Nhân (Heaven, Earth, and Human), the pavilion is organized around a central gathering space where people, culture, and nature meet. Rather than recreating traditional forms, the project seeks to capture their underlying spirit — openness, community, and a sense of belonging.Working within a compact footprint and a lightweight steel structure, the design embraces restraint and simplicity, revealing how cultural identity can be expressed through proportion, atmosphere, and spatial experience rather than ornament alone.

007 – DIE SICHTBARE KULTUR

Between Memory and PossibilityLocated in Berlin-Lichtenberg, Dong Xuan Center has grown over time into one of the largest Vietnamese cultural and commercial hubs in Germany. Vibrant, informal, and constantly evolving, it reflects the everyday life of a community shaped between cultures.The proposal reimagines two abandoned concrete towers at the heart of the site through the principle of minimal demolition and maximum reuse. Former industrial structures are transformed into spaces for making, learning, exhibiting, and gathering, creating new opportunities while preserving the site's identity.More than a physical transformation, the project explores how architecture can connect memory and possibility — bringing together industrial heritage, cultural exchange, and the evolving story of the Vietnamese community in Berlin.

006 – TREFF.PUNKT

A Village of EncountersLocated near the Bagno Nature Park in North Rhine-Westphalia, Borghorst is a small town whose historic center has gradually lost vitality as everyday activities shifted elsewhere.The proposal focuses on bringing life back to the heart of the town. Vacant sites, oversized parking areas, and underused public spaces are reimagined as places for living, gathering, and community life. New programs are introduced to strengthen the town center while creating stronger connections between residents, visitors, and the surrounding landscape.At its core, the project is an exploration of how thoughtful interventions can transform overlooked spaces into meaningful places — restoring identity, encouraging social interaction, and renewing a sense of belonging.

005 – GREEN.DESK

Indoor GardenInspired by the pitched-roof houses of the German countryside, the project reimagines the workplace as a series of interconnected spaces shaped by light, greenery, and a sense of familiarity.The building is organized around small courtyards that bring natural light and ventilation deep into the interior. Together with carefully integrated planting, these spaces create an “Indoor Garden” — blurring the boundary between workplace and nature.Rather than treating nature as an addition, the project places it at the center of everyday working life. From shared spaces to rooftop terraces, employees remain connected to light, air, and seasonal change throughout the day, creating a healthier and more human-centered working environment.

004 – VERTICAL.GARDEN

A Green Framework for CommunityDesigned for a former military site in Osnabrück, the project explores how housing can foster both a stronger connection to nature and a greater sense of community.The residential blocks are organized around a shared green courtyard, while access galleries, balconies, and planted structures create a continuous landscape that extends vertically throughout the building. Green spaces are not treated as isolated elements, but as part of everyday life — visible and accessible from every level.A modular structural system provides flexibility and longevity, while shared outdoor spaces encourage informal encounters between neighbors. The project envisions housing not only as a collection of apartments, but as a living environment where people, nature, and community can grow together.

003 – E.KUBUS

A Living Room for the CityDesigned for the future Central and Regional Library of Berlin, the project reimagines the library as more than a place for books — a shared space for learning, meeting, and public life.Located beside the historic Amerika-Gedenkbibliothek, the new building creates a welcoming urban presence through a generous public forecourt and a clear connection to its surroundings. At its heart, a large atrium brings natural light deep into the building, organizing the library around a central space for exchange and discovery.Conceived as a “living room for the city,” the project explores how architecture can support knowledge, creativity, and social interaction — offering an open and accessible environment for people of all ages and backgrounds.

002 – X.BORDER

Beyond the Comfort ZoneLocated in Hamburg’s HafenCity, the project explores how architecture can inspire curiosity, discovery, and innovation.Positioned between education, research, and public engagement, the building brings together exhibition spaces, learning environments, laboratories, and community programs within a single structure. Its dynamic form draws inspiration from the movement of water, creating a sense of openness and exploration throughout the visitor journey.More than a place for scientific exchange, the project is conceived as an invitation to step beyond the familiar — encouraging people to learn, experiment, and imagine new possibilities for the future.

001 – BERG.HAUS

A Dialogue Across TimeNestled in the alpine landscape near Pracorno, the project brings together an abandoned farmhouse and a contemporary addition, creating a dialogue between past and present.Rather than replacing the existing structure, the design begins by recognizing its value — preserving its character, material memory, and relationship to the landscape. The historic building is carefully adapted for new uses, while the new intervention reinterprets traditional principles of construction, space, and living through a contemporary language.Together, the two buildings form a quiet composition shaped by nature, time, and human presence. The project explores how architecture can connect heritage and change, demonstrating that renewal can emerge through continuity rather than replacement.

Born in Vietnam and based in Germany, I have lived, studied, and worked across both Asia and Europe, developing a perspective shaped by different cultures and ways of seeing.My work explores the relationship between people, space, material, light, and nature. Guided by a sensitivity to proportion and atmosphere, I am interested in what happens in between — where ordinary moments become quietly meaningful.Through tangible forms, I seek to reveal experiences that are felt more than explained.With gratitude to the teams and mentors who have been part of the journey:
