The Blend of Red Bricks and Steel Flooring System Gives An Exotic and Stylish Appeal To Co Dam Vegetarian Restaurant in Vietnam | Le house

Designed by Vietnam-based design firm Le House, this beautiful renovation project of the mysterious Champa temple features the elegant use of red bricks and a steel flooring system. “It is quite not easy to renovate a mysterious space because of a part of the French style flooring and besides that, to increase for the more usable area, we suggested to have an impact on the steel flooring system of the existing architecture. The removal will not be approved by the host, so "cut and match" is the best solution that brings perfection to the designer and the homeowner,” said the firm. Named Co Dam Vegetarian Restaurant, the project is located at 68 Tran Hung Dao in the capital city of Vietnam. The design team at Le House has shared more information about this warm and delightful project with SURFACES REPORTER (SR). Take a look:

Red Brick Brings Simplicity 

The simplicity comes from red brick that is the main material, creates the arches of the temple and they lead the visitor to the "Heaven" of the mysterious Champa culture that seems a Holy Land of people - a place that has kept secret things infinitely for hundreds of years.

Graceful and Welcoming Entrance

The gate is simulated as the entrance of Champa temple is made using bricks by doing meticulous calculation.

Tone-Down Lighting and Ancient Design Patterns

The firm kept the lighting as dark as possible. The tone-down lighting makes a perfect sense that is simulated as a temple.

Further, all earthenware used in the space contains ancient patterns and the reliefs are made by artisans who are still residing in Ninh Thuan and are being a strong witness for the land of Champa, where a long-standing culture is still realistic.
