Text description provided by the architects. In the heart of a residential area, south of Tan Phu dictrict, HCMC, between living quarters, garages and old office buildings, Education Office represents the renewal of Au Lac neighborhood. The new building aims to attract the vibrant education and entrepreneurship community to this part of the city. All its facades designed in a modern, youthful way, inspired by the spirit of education and contribute to renewing the appearance of the whole area. The highlight in the design of Education Office that Vschool architect wants to show is the large gray metal panels to bring new life to the surrounding area.

Education Office consists of 16 full floors and a rooftop with a wide view of the skyline of southern Tan Phu. The street façade on the ground floor is defined by a large curving platinum dome, a focal point from the surrounding area. On the higher floors, the perfect combination of metal panels and sliding shutter system combined with vertical louvers creates a dynamic, youthful façade that rises to new heights.
