Quoted from H.a. The Wave is the workspace of an architecture and furniture construction office in Vung Tao. The project is built on a typical vacant lot 4x20, leased for 5 years in the urban area.

The Wave is the office of a small company, with difficulties at the beginning, and low operating costs, the workplace is rented space and has to be relocated after the contract expires. Effective and flexible investment in the workplace is a difficult problem.

From the general assessment of the city and the need for a workplace of a small office, “The office model on vacant lots in the urban area, determined to last only about 5 years, with the criteria of time fast construction time, low cost, and removable, return-on-site” is set forth.

The variation in pitch and transparency density creates different spatial areas. The roof system is a continuous structure, made up of thick and thin interlocking wooden slats depending on the light needs of the space below.

The floor is paved with “cover stone” collected from local stone processing factories, randomly selected and arranged, corresponding to each functional area.

The roof is built on a light steel structure, covered by wooden slats made from discarded wood (discarded wood is considered “waste” from lumber mills, used as fuel, or milled to make plywood) in the workshop. company wood. The sunshade slat wood of the roof can be replaced and renewed continuously.

Trees are used from trees available on the land and residual trees from other constructions.

Thanks to the use of a lightweight, separate structure with side walls and soft bonding elements (using bolts, screws, and no mortar), the building can be disassembled and rebuilt in another location. Even the building has the ability to expand or shrink (in length and width) depending on the land and use needs because of the unlimitedness of the roof structure.
