Definition: Shell of France, Hand of Vietnam

A space where the framework and craftsmanship originate from two different sources. The walls, openings, and proportions are derived from French colonial architecture: high ceilings, French windows, and symmetrical facade divisions. Into this framework, Vietnamese craftsmanship is integrated: a black-and-gold lacquer painting, a lotus-carved wooden grille, and several bamboo woven pendant lamps. The overall design is then refined in a modern way, with ample white space and clean lines.
Avoid: Only French framework without Vietnamese craftsmanship, only a堆 of Vietnamese handicrafts without architectural framework, making both elements too full and turning it into a museum, using Chinese or Thai symbols unrelated to Vietnam.

一個骨架與工藝分屬兩個來源的空間。牆體、開口與比例來自法屬殖民時期的建築:挑高、落地窗、對稱的立面分割;填進去的是越南的手工:一幅黑底金箔的漆畫、一道蓮花鏤空的木雕格柵、幾盞竹編吊燈。整體再用現代的方式收斂,留白多、線條乾淨。避免:只有法式骨架沒有越南工藝、只堆越南工藝品沒有建築骨架、把兩者都做滿變成博物館、使用與越南無關的中式或泰式符號。
