Text description provided by architect.
Located in Hanoi’s new commercial centre, Viettel’s one-of-a-kind HQ is Gensler’s first headquarters office building designed and completed in Vietnam.
As the hub of Vietnam’s largest tele-communication company, this unique structure stands out from a uniform cityscape.
The optimized oval geometry fosters a high- energy collaborative working environment through connecting employees via interconnected floor spaces across all eight levels.
This includes a 800-seat auditorium which serves to provide a functional event space in the premises itself.
Keeping local cultural and tradition requirements in mind, the Gensler team delivered efficient design of the building massing and orientation on a fast track project programme.
With employee work environment and sustainability as core design drivers, the building is designed from the inside-out.
Floor plates customized to an ideal depth with its series of skylights brings natural light to all working areas and reduces the need for artificial lighting.
The facility also utilizes natural barriers to combat Hanoi’s tropical climate and fosters an ecological habitat within the city.
