Nhà Tú Garden Restaurant

“Nhà Tú Garden” boasts a unique geographical location, serving as a convergence point between residential and industrial areas. The concept of integration was established as the main design direction for the project. With the idea of creating a "green" focal point for the area, the architect proposed the concept of a "small garden" within a "large garden."

Layer-on-layer Design

The main space is shaped like a large box, with a height proportional to the overall workshop buildings nearby. The center is hollowed out to create an outdoor tropical garden. From the street entrance to the garden area, there's an interplay of "human-water-greenery" elements.

 

An infinity pool stretching across the front facade serves as a regulating element, reducing heat radiation from the street into the building. All elevations are structured in two layers. The outer layer is a bamboo shading system, with a buffer layer (voids, courtyards, verandas, etc.) and perimeter walls. 

 

The outdoor dining space utilizes the "hàng ba" (a common feature in Southern Vietnamese architecture) to provide sound and thermal insulation for the main indoor space, followed by a moat and a void serving as a cushioning layer around the main building block. The indoor dining area, with seating arranged towards the center, ensures every corner of the restaurant has access to the garden.

Multipurpose Space
To cater to two user groups: small and large parties, the architect created an additional VIP dining space with multi functionality. Using the opening-closing rotating functions of glass doors, the space can flexibly change its function to suit usage needs.

 

The central garden area is designed like a skylight cave, organizing a tropical ecosystem, embracing natural elements (sun, rain, wind, etc.). When closed, the garden resembles a lively miniature scene. When open, the garden becomes a small forest, bringing in natural breeze and light into the building. The positions of the open doors are also calculated to reduce the impact of hot dry winds and enhance cool breezes.

Indigenous - Modern and Traditional
The construction plan combines new industrial techniques with traditional craftsmanship of local artisans. The main structure utilizes prefabricated steel frames, a construction solution from nearby industrial workshops. Brick walls are finished with brush-textured paint. The concrete floor is finished with rolled cement and polished with a brush to create a natural surface. The steel frame ceiling is finished with woven bamboo panels, manually interconnected. Bar and toilet areas use traditional fired bricks as accents.
