perforated metal veil by KHOA VU transforms old vietnamese villa into breathable restaurant
Briefly

Studio KHOA VU has revitalized a three-story villa in Vietnam’s District 2, transforming it into the Ts VEIL restaurant while preserving its core concrete frame. The renovation features a breathable, perforated metal facade that promotes cross-ventilation and introduces microclimates, reacting to the tropical climate. The restaurant's design includes an innovative inner 'skin' combining various materials to enhance the interior experience. By marrying functionality with artistic expression, Ts VEIL sets a new standard for urban interventions in densely populated areas.
In the fast-changing fabric of Ho Chi Minh City's District 2, KHOA VU renovates Ts VEIL, blending old structures with innovative design for urban hospitality.
The name Ts VEIL reflects the architecture's core gesture: a porous second skin that shrouds the building, enhancing its functional and poetic qualities.
The outer screen of Ts VEIL acts as an environmental device, allowing for cross-ventilation and employing a misting system to create microclimates.
Collaborating with Siri Interior, the architects create a tactile atmosphere with an inner skin of glass block and exposed concrete, enhancing the restaurant's experience.
