Rock Office by a21 Studio

Posted by Deepika singh on 24 Jan 2011 10:39 AM

Rock Office is designed by a21 Studio on a precarious piece of land in the heart of Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam. Simple materials like raw stone looks extraordinary at a large scale. The exterior, while only a couple years old, has the presence of a much older building. The gabion cages hold unprocessed stones which make up the curving wall system. Concrete bond beams at two elevations keep the structure rigid and transfer load evenly. The wall system serves to create a low-cost, potentially temporary building, the land lease will expire in less than ten years.
