The transformation of Truc Lam Coffee began with the renovation of an old cement structure that detracted from the natural beauty of its surroundings, amidst Viet Nam traditional architecture and lush gardens. The renovation adhered to principles of maximum conservation, optimal functionality, environmental friendliness, and contextual harmony. To minimize waste and expenses, the existing structure was carefully preserved, reducing construction waste while allowing for a design that seamlessly integrates with the surrounding trees.
