The company won the Office – Future Projects category with the Viettel Offsite Studio. The Vietnamese telecom group’s new studio is located on a slight slope between a lake and treelined landscape on the outskirts of Hanoi. The six V-shaped wall-blocks which were freely arranged follow the lay of land and are connected by an open corridor.

It also won the House – Completed Buildings award for Binh House in Ho Chi Minh City. The house serves as a family home and sets a new benchmark for dense urban living. Architecturally the house draws on a strong modernist tradition.

The company has entered the event three times earlier and brought home eight awards.
