CHÀ PHÊ – A Small Urban Retreat
Located on 3/2 Street in Vung Tau, CHÀ PHÊ is a small coffee shop designed as a simple and approachable space within a lively urban setting. The design responds to the existing context with a lightweight, adaptable structure made from timber, steel, and corrugated metal—materials chosen for their simplicity, efficiency, and potential for reuse.
The defining element is a generous roof canopy extending from the existing house, creating a shaded threshold between the café and the street. More than a place to enjoy coffee, this open veranda becomes a small public space where people can pause, rest, and reconnect with the surrounding urban landscape.
Through a modest architectural intervention, CHÀ PHÊ aims to create lasting value from a small footprint—friendly, flexible, and deeply connected to its context.
