Textual content description offered by the architects. T3 Architects simply designed the primary Dojo in Saigon (Vietnam). The challenge began with a very good mixture of cultures: ” Dojo ” is the Japanese title of the building which implies that the building will probably be constructed with a sure of Japanese conventional guidelines for the suitable apply of Judo. Then, the Dojo is situated within the backyard of an outdated French type Villa, and all this collectively within the dynamic metropolis of Ho Chi Minh, Vietnam.
Designed and constructed with the primary sustainable ideas in thoughts from the start, T3 positioned the Dojo accurately on the backyard utilizing the present Villa to be protected and right-oriented to keep away from the primary heavy rains/winds and designing the openings accordingly.
As the present Villa will probably be rented as a part of the Dojo workplace and as a co-working area for Judo practitioners T3 determined to do the primary circulation by way of the present building the place a brand new altering room is positioned.

Due to all of this, the building has high-level power environment friendly offering a low-energy consumption to the shoppers
For the final however not least, taking in consideration the dynamic and changeable occasions all of us dwell, the challenge has been designed to be dismountable (primary structure, flooring, partitions, tatami…) to supply the shopper with the choice to maneuver the entire building to a different plot in case it’s wanted. Placing collectively the sustainable ideas feedback above, the great thing about the apply of Judo, and the inventive and purposeful design makes lastly a significant challenge with a really aggressive finances.
