Project
Project descrpition provided by the designers - The Cornerstone is a boutique mixed-use building located at a 45 m2 irregular-hexagon-shaped corner site in a busy alleyway in Ho Chi Minh City. The design brief asked for a flexible retail and parking area on the ground level and maximized commercial spaces on the upper two floors. Besides, a high level of privacy and noise insulation from the busy road corner should be ensured. The project brief was fulfilled by two intertwined design approaches: proposing a built-form that sensitively responds to the site while also contribute positively to the streetscape; and optimizing the spatial layouts to accommodate flexible and highly-efficient mixed-use spaces.
