Hi! I'm Ho Thao Nguyen
INTERIOR DESIGN
For people who are interested in what I did in Viet Nam - I was an interior designer.
In 2011, I graduated with a bachelor's degree in Vietnam, majoring in interior design. During my studies and afterwards I learned and used 3Dsmax and Vray rendering software in many different projects.
Take a look at some of the projects I did during that time.
🔻CONTAINER HOTEL
Pre-graduation thesis_2011
In developing countries such as Viet Nam or Cambodia, unused containers are seen quite often. Returning these containers is probably not worthwhile because of the high shipping costs. Therefore, a waste of resources is seen here. By using the empty containers as building modules, these resources are better utilized and it is even better for the environment.
This project was made in the last semester of my study in Vietnam. In this hotel, rooms for guests will be designed inside a 40 feet sea container. In addition, there will be a restaurant and a bar on the roof terrace.

Interior design for the Products-simplifieds gift stores_2013
In 2013, I had the great opportunity to work at Products Simplifieds (PS)- a place that specializes in providing international tourists with gift items influenced by Vietnamese culture. To build more PS stores, I worked here as an interior designer.
Products-simplified gift stores are often located in places frequented by international tourists, like a small store in resorts. Together with other team members, we had a great environment to conceive and execute these projects. I am mainly responsible for 3D drawings and technical drawings before the store goes into construction. The following work is one of the stores I designed.

🔻FUNKY FURNITURE
Product design_2014
This is one of the fun projects I worked on at Products Simplified. One day my boss told me he wanted to make a special set of tables and chairs, a really "funky" design.
Based on his simple hand sketch, I drew these chairs in 3D. This was an interesting process for me, but also a lot of hard work, because 10 years ago we were using Autodesk 3Dsmax software for 3D buildings - for objects with such free curves it became difficult. He also wanted the chair to be made of wood and easy to transport. That requires a lot of actual testing that the 3D model can't represent.
Unfortunately, I could not stay until the end of the project because of my new goal, but this project remains as a nice memory of working in Vietnam.
Many thanks to Marco and the P-S team for the great cooperation!
