Can Gio Restaurant is designed like a pair of bird wings spreading across the CanGio Mangrove Forest located in the South of Ho Chi Minh City (the natural space hasbeen classified as one of the International Biosphere Reserves by UNESCO in 2000).The wings form a V shape frame up the view to the far horizon where the sun rises. Anatural mineral stone platform leveling up the base emphasizes this clear angle ofview towards the mangrove horizon and the view to the appealing circular green lakein the front. The primary finishing materials are zinc (roofs), concrete (load-bearingwalls), and laterite blocks (perforated walls). The project is located in a tourist andpopulated area.​
The main facilities of the venue are two dining rooms equipped with air conditioning, a large kitchen with storage and a chilled room and sanitary areas. This model complements the tourist planning, which usually consisted of just hotels, resorts equipped with swimming pools, townhouses, and villas, to offer an opportunity to go relaxing out of HCM city on the weekends. The project must be able to cope with the strong sun that whitens everything around, heavy rains and thunderstorms coming from the East Sea, and the dry wind. The color of the project is inspired by the typical local sand color and mangrove trees roots. The project uses also light gray color similar to the silt, which highlights the saturated green vegetation of the mangrove.

The project designed as an open public space, protected from the typical sunlight and heavy rains of the region by two V-shaped roofs. These large roofs function as a picture frame capturing all the beautiful surrounding landscape. This sophisticated design adapts perfectly to the program desired by the Investor. The purpose is to create a welcoming area to receive visitors and a multi-functional space to organize various kinds of events: Conference and seminar meetings, temporary restaurants equipped with professional kitchen facilities, events functions for large groups and seasonal exhibitions.
