Garden of Eden
The Garden of Eden is an embodiment of the invisible woven into the fabric of existence. Its design reflects a poetic dialogue where nature’s abstraction meets architectural form. The undulating lines and textured surfaces echo the silent whispers of the earth, creating a harmonious interplay between light and shadow. This spatial composition blurs the boundaries of the tangible, inviting contemplation of the unseen. Through the use of natural materials and organic forms, the garden becomes a sanctuary of tranquility, mirroring the serene and introspective essence of the divine landscape.

Next project | Building a Smart and Modern City of Light
The program “Unlimited Connections – Building a City of Light” broadcast on HTV9 provides a comprehensive perspective on the role of lighting in shaping modern and sustainable urban areas.
The story of Saigon’s light—an essential element of life and culture—has been shaped by its tropical climate and a distinctive “nightlife” culture since the city’s earliest days. Lighting not only ensures the safety of living and working spaces but also contributes to the aesthetics and prominence of modern urban architecture. However, uncontrolled use of lighting can lead to energy waste and environmental pollution. The program emphasizes the importance of smart lighting that is appropriate, sufficient, and aesthetically pleasing while minimizing light pollution, aiming to enhance overall visual harmony with the surrounding space. Building a city of light that is exemplary, harmonious, and rich in identity is a collective effort—to make the city brighter, more beautiful, and increasingly civilized.
Urban lighting is not merely about beautification; it also fosters a sense of comfort and relaxation, drawing residents into the city’s nighttime activities, thereby making the urban environment more vibrant and dynamic.

Intro
Standing in the garden feels like stepping into a separate realm, where time seems to pause, leaving only gentle sounds and serene imagery. Beneath the shade of an ancient Bodhi tree, the Buddha statue exudes a quiet majesty, offering a soft reminder to let go of burdens and listen to the tranquil rhythm within the depths of the soul.
This is not just a place of retreat but a sanctuary for rediscovering peace amidst life’s constant flow. Here, lush greenery embraces every contour of modern architecture, together composing a perfect harmony that guides individuals back to their true selves.
Next project | Waterscape
The waterscape of the living complex in the Mekong Delta beautifully embodies the harmony between architecture and nature. Drawing inspiration from the region’s rich waterway traditions, the design integrates fluid forms and organic materials that reflect the surrounding landscapes. The layout, with its interconnected waterways and lush greenery, fosters a sense of tranquility and connection to the environment. Each villa, positioned to maximize views of the water, invites natural light and breezes, enhancing the sensory experience. This approach not only celebrates local culture but also promotes sustainable living, making the project a poignant example of emotional architecture in contemporary design.

Ru đời mấy giấc chiêm bao,
Xôn xao như gió ngã nhào bờ mê,
Ru quê cho tỏ đường về,
Tỉ tê câu chuyện bờ đê mái đình,
Ru mình chỉ mấy lời kinh,
Tâm minh hồn triết thanh hình sắc tao.
Lullaby
Lull life’s dreams in fleeting flight,
Stirred like winds tumbling on enchanted dikes,
Lull the homeland, reveal the path home,
Whisper tales by riverbanks and village halls,
Lull the self with sacred dharmas,
Enlightened soul, wisdom’s grace in form and rhyme.

Next project | Huyền sử RÊU
a photo by Vinhho 2025
Trong lòng phố cổ Gia Hội, nơi mà thời gian như dừng lại, “Huyền sử Rêu” hiện lên như một bức tranh sống động của ký ức.
Rêu xanh mướt, mềm mại như dải lụa, phủ kín những bức tường cổ kính, kể lại câu chuyện của những ngày đã qua. Mỗi lớp rêu như một dòng thơ trầm mặc, mang hồn cốt của quá khứ và hiện tại hòa quyện. Dưới ánh hoàng hôn, rêu trở thành biểu tượng của sự trường tồn, của những giá trị không phai mờ. Như một bức tranh, “Huyền sử Rêu” gợi lên những cảm xúc sâu lắng, những suy tư về sự bất biến và vẻ đẹp ẩn giấu trong từng góc nhỏ của cuộc sống.
Trong không gian ấy, rêu không chỉ là thực vật, mà là một phần của linh hồn phố cổ, một lời thì thầm của thời gian.

Intro
The Fish Farm Village, Aquaculture Farm and Eco-Experience Resort is an ecologically-oriented aquaculture area integrated with tourism, offering eco-experiential living connected to cultivation zones and linked with surrounding eco-tourism destinations. It creates a unique, meaningful, and captivating agricultural and experiential tourism landscape along Co Chien River.
Master plan
The resort harmoniously blends humanity with nature, where service spaces are seamlessly integrated into a lush, green ecosystem. Like a hidden village nestled beneath the canopy, it floats serenely on the lake, preserving the pristine beauty of the natural terrain while protecting and nurturing the riverside ecosystem.
The Cork Village Villa stands out as a unique highlight, resembling a floating village on the lake. Its gentle, fishbone-like layout positions each villa to quietly embrace endless views of the legendary Co Chien River.
Here, visitors are invited to immerse themselves in the rhythm of nature and the local community. Stroll through fragrant pineapple fields, lose yourself amidst rows of vibrant vegetables, or glide across the water to catch fresh fish straight from the lake. This is more than just a place to rest—it is an invitation to forge a heartfelt connection with the essence of the homeland.

Suối vẫn reo theo nhịp của thời cuộc để âm thầm vá víu những thương tổn hiện sinh.
Dòng nước nương nhờ địa thế len lỏi tự do toả vết tràn ngập, biến cả khung trời rộng lớn nằm gọn trong chiếc bát ngửa mặt nhìn mây. Tiếng lách tách của cá đớp nước, tiếng va đập vào nhánh củi khô, tiếng gió reo lăn tăn phủ bạc lấp lánh soi bóng cả một khoảng rừng non, tiếng vỗ không thành tiếng của loài cò trắng trên mặt nước, thong thả tìm cơ hội trong cuộc mưu sinh đầy nghiệt ngã. Trong cái nắng nhẹ một buổi chớm đông, nhịp chảy âm thầm vọng ra từ thân cầu dẫn nước (aquaduct) tạo nên một hoà âm đầy tĩnh lặng.

Intro
Mang Thit District, Vinh Long Province, is one of the few remaining localities in Vietnam that preserves a unique and extensive architectural complex alongside a traditional craft. This architectural ensemble comprises nearly 1,000 domed kilns, spanning over 3,060 hectares along the banks of the Thay Cai, Hoa My, Cai Nhum canals, forming a southern arc that extends to the Nhon Phu and Hoa Tinh canals within the district. This is truly a valuable treasure, shaped by over a century of cultural and technological exchange between Khmer, Kinh, and Hoa people, resulting in a distinctive architectural heritage and traditional craft. However, this treasure has not been fully recognized or appreciated.
Over the past decade, more than 1,000 kilns have been demolished, and the remaining kilns are deteriorating and face the imminent threat of complete destruction. Given this alarming situation, it is imperative and urgent to conduct research and develop solutions to preserve and promote this architectural complex and traditional craft.
Learning from the Past and Looking to the Future
Over 100 years of formation and development, the structure of the craft village ecological system have established with 6 main space, including: surface water, brickyard system, yards, storage, fruite garden and house, fields.
The system of canals and land has formed a distinctive, easily recognizable landscape. Rivers and canals flowing from Co Chien River along Thay Cai canal, going deep into agricultural areas, have determined the main landscape axes; Residents live along the canals, inside are fruit and vegetable gardens, and deeper are fields and aquaculture areas. The ecosystem associated with the brick kiln area has created a closed process in the production of Mang Thit red ceramic. This is a characteristic and value that needs to be preserved and promoted.
Adaptive conservation in continued development
Adaptive conservation in continued development – preserving the existence of production space heritage, symbiotic ecological space, and Southern garden development cultural heritage; These valuable materials and spiritual values have been perfected during the development process, providing a contemporary breath and improving the quality of each space, gradually improving the quality of life of local people, so that their politics will gradually transform, reviving the soul of the place.
The heritage of Mang Thit – known as The Red Kingdom will be an interesting destination in Mekong Delta and should not be missed in your lifetime.
