Hai Phong is a logistics and industrial hub with the largest terminal port in Northern Vietnam. It is a port city at the mouth of the Red River, about 100km away from Hanoi. The project, named “Ark Pavilion for Pizza 4P’s” is designed as a standalone building at the corner of a large newly built shopping mall.

This project is conceived as a symbolic monument to capture both the unique background and values of the city and restaurant – Hai Phong as a port and industrial city, as well as Pizza 4P’s value of sustainable dining. The building is perceived as an ark docked in a port, which is represented by the large shopping mall. It is an ark pavilion where the history and memories of the city are embraced and displayed to the diners and visitors.
