The Veil is located at the northern entrance of Ho Chi Minh City, on the most attractive city center avenue, and is a white masterpiece designed to stand out in a metropolitan environment. In addition to being a multifunctional international conference center, it also carries a unique conceptual inspiration - the bride's veil at the wedding.

From the outside, this building looks like a layered veil, surrounding the passageways and giving texture to the structure, creating a charming interior space that maximizes the effect of the reception area. In this era, people pay more attention to the atmosphere of buildings and the places where major events are held. The main driving force behind this concept comes from the autonomous decision-making of investors and operators, and the framework of architecture was already completed before we intervened.

In order to expand the space, the design adopts vertical and horizontal means. The width and height of the reception hall in the building are both 10x10 meters, spaced along the length of two blocks, aiming to create a warm, ventilated, and visually stimulating area that encourages guests to stay longer and enjoy the experience of meeting and greeting. By using materials that can distort spatial perception, we have created an environment that can deceive spatial perception, such as polished aluminum ceiling and wavy wood paneling walls.

The white spray painted perforated steel coil on the other side presents a semi transparent appearance, once again deceiving the actual size, making the space no longer limited by its physical size. The veil provides a privacy space that separates activities from the noisy background of the avenue, and the store is blurry enough to arouse the interest of outsiders.
