Located on a light slope, besides a quiet lake and landscape abundant trees, Viettel Offsite Studio is inclusive 6 units: a welcoming reception, a dining and four studios. It is located on the outskirts of Hanoi, around 30 km and takes 40 minutes by car.

These studios also supply an offsite short-term working place for the leaders, after getting away from busy cities and miscellaneous.
There are six V-shaped wall-blocks which freely arranged follow the lay of land and connected by an open corridor. These blocks form triangular surface spaces: two sides closed and the other side opens towards lake and trees. The walls create an open book shape that exhibits “open from inside to nature”.
