Neutral Lab is an emerging architecture and design studio based in Ho Chi Minh City, as part of Junius International. Our practice spans architecture, interior design, installation, and research, with a core focus on delivering sustainable and innovative solutions. Neutral is where we begin and where we aim to arrive: the essence.
▸ Service Areas
Masterplan
Good masterplanning is invisible — it shapes how people move, gather, and live without announcing itself. We work at this scale because the decisions made here outlast every building within them. That demands both rigour and restraint.
Urban design · Land use strategy · Site analysis · Mixed-use planning · Phasing & feasibility
Architecture
We approach each project with flexible thinking — letting structural logic and functional necessity speak first, then listening for the form they suggest. Materials and methods are chosen for their honesty and longevity. Details are resolved from the start, not patched at the end.
Residential · Cultural · Commercial · Adaptive reuse · BIM · Feasibility studies · Construction documentation · Permit coordination
Interior
We treat interiors as architecture at closer range — same structural honesty, same logic of assembly, but more room to experiment. Our ambition is to extend the lifespan of interior space to that of a building: to be both experimental and enduring. We do this by abstracting our own design spirit into every project, so that what remains is not a style, but a logic — one that ages well.
Space planning · Material specification · Lighting design · Furniture layout · FF&E coordination
Installation
Installations are architecture freed from function — pure proposition. Every element is still there: structure, space, material, light, threshold. We use them to test ideas, provoke questions, and occupy spaces in ways that permanent structures cannot.
Site-specific work · Exhibition design · Temporary structures · Interactive art · Spatial research
Web Design
A website is architecture in another dimension — pages relate as rooms do, hierarchies form, hyperlinks create thresholds. We design the web the way we design physical space: with structure, intention, and the conviction that a single pixel matters as much as a single brick.
Website design · Information architecture · UX/UI · CMS integration · Portfolio & studio sites · Brand web presence
Art Direction
Visual language is not decoration — it is structure. We approach art direction the way we approach space: by finding the logic beneath a project and letting that logic determine how it looks and communicates. From brand identity to exhibition graphics, nothing is added without reason.
Brand identity · Visual systems · Graphic design · Publication design · Exhibition graphics · Wayfinding · Campaign visuals · Presentation design
