Nguyen Hoang (Vietnam, 1983) is the Principal Architect and Creative Director of HAS ARCHITECTURE, an independent studio he co-founded with his partners in Zurich in 2012, before establishing its Ho Chi Minh city in 2015 and in Essen in 2021. 

Hoang approaches architecture as a form of quiet resistance – not loud, not trend-driven, but grounded in enduring values and a strong sense of identity. Each project is a dialogue between people, materials, and context; an exploration of forms that carry emotional weight and intellectual depth.

“We don’t follow trends. We follow meaning.”
“Architecture as a quiet resistance.”
