Viettel Headquarters, designed by Gensler in 2020, is Located in Hanoi’s new commercial center, Viettel’s one-of-a-kind HQ is Gensler’s first headquarters office building designed and completed in Vietnam. As the hub of Vietnam’s largest telecommunications company, this unique structure stands out from a uniform cityscape. This includes an 800-seat auditorium, which serves to provide a functional event space on the premises itself. The building is designed from the inside out. Floor plates customized to an ideal depth with a series of skylights bring natural light to all working areas and reduce the need for artificial lighting. The facility also utilizes natural barriers to combat Hanoi’s tropical climate and fosters an ecological habitat within the city. Despite an abundance of natural light, horizontal louvers are installed to screen the interior from solar glare and effectively reduce solar heat gain, resulting in a smaller heating, ventilation, and air conditioning (HVAC) load. The aesthetically pleasing landscape design incorporated with native plants forms the iconic green roof, which also similarly reduces heat gain throughout the day. Users can also enjoy the break-out space at the landscaped terraced roof gardens on either side of the sloping roof. Other green features include a rainwater harvesting system.
