SWA Vietnam Co., Ltd

SWA Vietnam is a progressive medium-sized firm providing architecture, interior design and other design-related services. It’s head office, Stephen Woolley Associates, Architects in the US was founded over 20 years ago and prides itself on its accountability and commitment to each and every project. SWA’s branch in Vietnam was established in 2000 in Ho Chi Minh City and has since evolved into one of the best-known architectural practices with high-profile commercial projects across the country. Implicit in our work at SWA Vietnam is the search for quality, which concerns the character and atmosphere of spaces. This has to be achieved amidst the practical constraints of the developing world. There are inevitable tensions between what is desirable and what is possible; between what one would like to achieve and what one can afford. Our design process aims to close these gaps using such constraints as a springboard for ideas from which quality solutions develop, solutions that give rise to coherent, functional and safe buildings appropriate to the everyday activities, which they will contain and represent.
