Architect:Tropical Space
Completion Date:2022
Location:Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam

Vietnamese architecture firm Tropical Space has devised a new office building in Ho Chi Minh City. The project, named Premier Office, utilizes complex brick masonry to achieve a comfortable balance of natural light, shading, and ventilation. The brick screens are oriented to deflect sunlight and allow shadows to move across the floor plate. The more than 2,000-square-foot building rises seven stories and also contains a basement floor.
