A western Client asks for T3 to design his Penthouse in Ho Chi Minh City (District 2 – Thao Dien).

The client being very opened-mind and having clear ideas of what he wanted, T3 has designed the full layout of the Penthouse spread over 3 different levels (2 levels for apartment + 1 level for rooftop) to fit with the client’s expectations.

The main Interior Concept is to bring a contemporary industrial atmosphere, with an artistic touch and very high-end finishing for all areas: wall (wax concrete, stucco, cortene steel, cement board), floor (polished concrete, hardwood parquet), ceiling (hardwood).

Decorative Lighting has been tailor-made with the metal contractor, as well as the foot-bridge crossing the livingroom; furniture has been either tailor-made, either sourced by T3 to get a strong consistency of Interior Design elements. T3 also selected the artworks and rugs to fit with the industrial atmosphere.

On the large rooftop, T3 added a wooden deck (to get a better view of surroundings), and of course a lot of tropical plants to bring nature all around.

The result is a very unique Penthouse, above the client’s expectations.
