AN INDOCHINA-INSPIRED APARTMENT IN THE HEART OF SAIGON
-
Studio 11 x Design Anthology | 2023
For this family apartment in the bustling centre of Ho Chi Minh City, local interior design firm Studio 11 balanced contemporary and traditional Indochinese influences to create a harmonious and deeply meaningful space. Studio founder Phạm Lê Trung Hiếu tells us more about the project.
Design Anthology: Can you tell us about the clients and their lifestyle?
Phạm Lê Trung Hiếu: The clients were introduced by one of my former clients. They liked my previous designs, which matched what they were looking for here. They’re a family with a simple lifestyle and who enjoy travelling, cooking and keeping fish. They value identity, culture and art, and requested the design of their new home to feature an Indochinese influence. For me, this made an interesting story to convey in the space.
Do you have a favourite element or design detail in the interiors?
My favourite elements are the decorative oil paintings by artists Tran Van Thao and Mai Xa. They represent the harmony between tradition and contemporary, bold and light, light and dark, and rough and glossy, and bring more emotional depth to the space.
