The first core contains the main service areas and circulation paths. The second core contains all of the office’s documentation, and is what G8A’s Swiss lead architect Grégoire Du Pasquier calls the office’s “memory wall”.
Created to house the multiple core businesses of Vietnam-headquartered investment firm OpenAsia Group, The Bridge meets its client’s need for highly adaptable and flexible working spaces, while also responding to the context of its site.
“The Bridge houses the teams of several luxury brands that make up ​the OpenAsia Group. The architecture embodies a design solution that responds to the spatial and socio-economic landscape of urban Vietnam. Topologically located between warehouse and logistic service buildings, the structure stands enigmatically in the middle of Hanoi’s Old Quarter,” says Du Pasquier.
PANORAMIC VIEWS
Located within a 400m 2 land parcel at the end of an alley, The Bridge is integrated into the urban fabric of the site, and has a gross floor area of 2,679m 2 spread across seven floors.
The ground floor consists of an entrance reception and water basin. An access ramp to the basement is hidden through an architectural gesture that gives the entrance its unique appearance.
The offices spaces are located on the first, second, third and fifth floor. Some of the work areas are connected, while some are isolated.
Conference rooms are located on the fourth floor, and on the sixth floor is an office cafeteria and rooftop terrace. All levels have a large storage area and toilets.
