Ho Khue Architects presents Desino Garment and Accessory production facility consisting of 3 buildings on 8000 square meters located in Vinh Loc A Industrial Park, Binh Chanh District, HCMC Vietnam. The intention was to provide high-quality comfortable working conditions for workers in beautiful buildings with low-cost cooling.

The previous condition of the siteThe building was renovated from an old factory, abandoned and not used for a long time. The owner of Thai Duong Company requested to renovate this old factory into an ideal workplace for employees with naturally cool temperatures, a natural green space surrounded by many green trees and plantings.  The open design accommodated office blocks for working design groups that allowed freedom of movement and sight to promote teamwork.  This light and naturally cooled green space promote high-quality work.

Design Idea

This work was designed by Ho Khue Architects with a new concept to reduce the pressure of workers in the workshop. It instills a sense of fairness and accessibility to the board of directors and management for the factory workers.  As predicted this workspace changed the dynamics of the company by extending visibility throughout, not dividing and separating with partition walls or closed rooms. Department managers and workers now see and freely interact with each other, eliminating the worker’s feeling of work being always exploitative and unfair. This increases productivity.

Working space

Office blocks designed blocks located in the heart of Factory 1 located near the main entrance of the campus workshop. Architects utilized single a column workshop to design the renovated space. In addition, we extended themselves outside the factory building structure design more 3m to reduce the monotony of the factory façade

Impressive green solution for the facade
