OUT-2 DESIGN JUNE UPDATE
June was another month of steady progress across our and portfolio, with projects reaching important milestones from material board reviews and construction inspections through to key on-site delivery stages.

It's always rewarding to see strategic thinking continue its journey from concept to reality.

Sometimes, the most inspiring conversations happen outside the studio.⁠
⁠
We were delighted to be invited to Kompan Asia Pte. Ltd.'s first event in Vietnam, where our team had the opportunity to meet their Asia design team and learn about the thinking behind their projects.⁠
⁠
Beyond innovative playground solutions, what truly stood out was KOMPAN's commitment to designing for people. Their work champions active lifestyles, healthier communities, and inclusive spaces where children, families, and older generations can connect through play and movement.⁠
⁠
A great reminder that the best designs don't just shape spaces - they strengthen communities.

Congratulations to all of the winners and finalists recognised at the Top 10 Awards event this weekend at the Hanoi Museum.

We were proud to see our co-founder, Andrew Currie, once again invited to serve as a jury member for the Green category, contributing alongside respected industry peers to celebrate outstanding achievements in architecture and design.

This year, it was particularly encouraging to see sustainability increasingly integrated into the overall design process, with many of the strongest projects demonstrating that environmental responsibility, user experience, and design quality can work together to create meaningful outcomes.

We would like to thank the organisers for another successful event and extend our congratulations to everyone who participated. It is always inspiring to see the creativity, talent, and commitment that continue to shape the future of Vietnam's design industry.

A special thank you also to our Senior Design Manager, Pham Thi Nhu Hanh, for representing OUT-2 Design Group and supporting the event.

At OUT-2 Design Group, we believe that the most effective sustainable design solutions are those embedded within the fundamental logic of a project from the very beginning.

OUT-2 Design Group is seeking a Senior Interior Designer (5-8 years), Senior Draftsperson (5-8 years) and a Graphic Designer (3-5 years) to join our studio in Ho Chi Minh City.

We are a strategy-led architecture, interior, and graphic design practice working across workplace and education projects throughout the Asia-Pacific region. Our mission is to improve how people work, learn, and live by shaping how space influences behaviour, performance, and wellbeing.

Our work connects strategy, spatial intelligence, and experience through a human-centred and collaborative design process. This requires clarity of thought, professional judgement, and the ability to translate intent into built outcomes.

Roles sit within a structured, design-led environment where:
- Process underpins performance
- Quality is non-negotiable
- Ideas must withstand the realities of delivery and construction

You will work within a cross-disciplinary team, contributing to projects that demand both creativity and rigour.

We pursue excellence, not perfection. This will not suit everyone, but for the right individuals, it offers the opportunity to do meaningful, high-quality work within a studio that is clear about its values and standards.

As part of our commitment to sustainability and community we are happy to announce our first Pre-Loved Market happening this weekend.

27/02/2026

OUT-2 Design’s 5 Principles of Green Interior Design Sustainable interior design is often misunderstood as a question of finishes or products. In reality, its greatest impact lies in how space supports people, behaviour, and long-term use.

1. DESIGNING FOR LONGEVITY, NOT TRENDS
We prioritise spatial clarity, timeless planning, and robust detailing over short-term aesthetics. Interiors that age well reduce churn, refurbishment cycles, and material waste. Projects like Unilever Homebase, Navigos Group, RMIT University and others have remained relevant, functional, and valuable for more than 8-10 years before upgrades and changes have been contemplated.

2. RESPONSIBLE MATERIAL SELECTION
Finishes are assessed for durability, maintainability, indoor air quality, and supply chain transparency. Wherever possible, we favour materials that can be repaired, refreshed, or reused rather than replaced. When we relocated our own office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam, we were able to re-use and re-purpose more than 80% of our existing fitout; from the furniture to the floor finishes and glazing systems.

3. FLEXIBILITY AND CHANGE OVER TIME
Workplace and education interiors must accommodate evolving organisational needs. Loose-fit planning, modular systems, and adaptable infrastructure are central to reducing future environmental impact. While many of our projects are the catalyst for major transformation in the ways people work, learn, and live, they must continue to accommodate incremental change for many years.

4. WELLBEING AS AN ENVIRONMENTAL ISSUE
Daylight, acoustic comfort, thermal control, and access to nature are fundamental sustainability concerns. A space that supports wellbeing is more likely to be valued, maintained, and retained; principles evident in projects such as Unilever Homebase, Yin Hwa Factory, NAB Ho Chi Minh City, and NAB Hanoi, where sustainability is inseparable from human experience and organisational performance.

5. INTEGRATION OF INTERIOR PLANTING AND EXTERIOR LANDSCAPES
Interior design extends beyond the building envelope. Integrating interior planting with access to external landscaped spaces supports wellbeing, daylight, natural ventilation, and thermal moderation. Conceived as a continuous spatial system, landscape becomes an environmental asset rather than a backdrop. Research by Kellert, Ulrich, and others links access to nature with improved cognitive performance, health, and wellbeing, outcomes closely associated with staff retention and long-term organisational performance.
