Situated atop a mid-rise building in Ho Chi Minh City, TVAD Office occupies a typically narrow and elongated urban rooftop floor - a common typology in the dense metropolitan fabric of Vietnam.
The design approach embraces elemental clarity and deliberate minimalism, serving as a spatial and atmospheric reflection of the architectural practice’s ethos: one of transparency, lucidity, and professional precision.
The spatial configuration and material strategy are founded upon the existing structural framework of the host building. Programmatic zoning is distinctly articulated between served and servant spaces, ensuring both functionality and experiential coherence.
A continuous dialogue is fostered between the workspace and the garden, allowing each to inform and elevate the qualities of the other. These spaces coalesce into an environment imbued with tranquility, composure, clarity, and emotional resonance.
The Workspace
Approached via the building’s main staircase, this space is vertically oriented and defined by a generous skylight overhead. This skylight introduces a contemplative, almost ceremonial entry sequence, whereby daylight from above serves to prepare one’s mental state before engaging in the creative labor within. This gesture establishes the first threshold - a transitional space that mediates between the external world and the inner space of the studio.
The interior is appointed with lean, mobile furnishings - strategically minimal, yet fully responsive to the evolving demands of studio work. Select heirloom pieces and timeworn tools are retained, embodying both nostalgia and continuity in the practice.
The Garden
Functioning as a central feature rather than an appendage, the garden exerts a profound influence on the emotional and atmospheric quality of the entire studio.
The second threshold, demarcating the passage from studio to garden, is intentionally softened through the use of a large glazed partition - a porous boundary that enhances spatial porosity and perceptual fluidity.
In this urban context, the garden becomes more than a passive green space. It is a multivalent environment - a place for reflection, informal work, communal activity, and restorative pause. It enables a visceral connection with nature, offering studio members the opportunity to recalibrate, observe seasonal change, and interact with their surroundings on a deeply human scale.
For the architects of TVAD Office, proximity to the natural world is not merely aesthetic - it is a profound source of inspiration and creative nourishment.
Ultimately, this compact office space serves as the cognitive and creative nucleus of the practice: a site of ideation, sketching, modeling, meeting, and research. It is both a platform for everyday professional practicing and a vital incubator for the architectural imagination.
