New golf clubhouse, driving range and halfway houses. The course itself was designed by the former world No.1, Luke Donald.

The design is inspired by the ancient Vietnamese round coin with square center. It symbolizes the connection between Heaven, Earth and Mankind. The central square is an open air courtyard that brings daylight and fresh air deep into the plan on both levels. Grass mounds envelope the structure, increasing its connection to the golf courses topography.

GreenShoots International School in Hoi An is a young school yet developing fast. This means relocating and building a new campus catering to the growing needs.
Our inspiration was drawn from GreenShoots own core values.  Coming up with a design which is inspirational to foster happy, mindful and creative thinkers committed to the sustainable development of our world. 
The five symbolic elements of nature: Fire, Earth, Metal, Water and Wood are used to create a harmonious design concept.
