Mine Art Gallery
Cam Pha coal mine was established by the French in 1886 under the name Société Française des Charbonnages du Tonkin during the reign of King Tu Duc. The mine’s stratigraphic structure descends into deep underground terraces, with coal seams gradually revealed in the light that pierces through the valley.
The jet-black hue of coal, intermingled with the reddish-brown of the earth and the arid dust suspended in the air, creates an abstract palette imbued with depth and intensity.
The project draws inspiration from the overlapping layers of coal seams, reimagined in reverse to symbolize the void left behind. Construction materials, sourced from coal itself, form layered bricks that replicate the natural striations of the seams. Space, materiality, and landscape converge to evoke the emotional and physical experiences of the miners.

Next project | Cloud

Solid and rough are the emotions of BAOLOC. Spatial topography consists of interlaced hills, layers hidden under layers of cold pine forests. In that autumn silence, the clouds are the witch who transforms to soften the rough, dry and cold.

CLOUD
Following the wind, the stream flows in all directions,
The foggy road is dotted with flying dew drops.
Love is drunk at night in dreams,
Filled with the call of the human realm.

Next project | VOICES of NATURE

Bathing in the mist of the mountains and forests, we are like super crooked footsteps. Overconfidence has given way to humble trembling. Following the breath we look back at the decaying frame of the mythical years. I falter, bowing my head not to beg, but to apologize for the unruly bare-headed man.

Voices of nature

The melodious reverberation of the mountains and forests,
Clouds cover the rising sun,
I silently curled up in the wind,
Absorb the mist of the dawn light.

Âm vang núi rừng

Du dương vọng tiếng hoà ca rừng núi,
Mây ngập tràn che khuất mặt trời lên,
Ta lặng im cuộn mình trong làn gió,
Men hơi sương ngút ngọn ánh bình minh.

Next project | Waterscape

Waterscape, supported by AI

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.

Xin
Xin cho mây xám cuối trời,
Cỏ hoang yên giấc đồng phơi nắng vàng,
Xin cho gió chở lời mang,
Đồng dao vang tiếng ngỡ ngàng đường quê,
Xin cho trăng ngủ bờ đê,
Gối tay tỉnh giấc chưa về đã hay!

Request
Grant the gray clouds at sky’s end,
Let wild grass slumber in sunlit meadows,
Grant the wind to carry whispers,
Children’s rhymes echo with wonder down rustic paths,
Grant the moon to rest on riverbanks,
Cradled in arms, awakening to dreams not yet returned.

Next project | SONNET

Evoking the tranquil undulations of the river a symphonic concerto of colors whispering the poetics of the natural world. The geometric shapes, with their curves and angles, juxtapose the organic with the mathematical, creating a visual sonnet that blurs the lines between the ephemeral and the eternal.
