BCI BEST OF ASIA

Based in Vietnam but connected with companies and firms around the world, NQH is uniquely positioned as a leader in sustainable development.

We believe that the coexistence of a flourishing natural environment and an economically robust, smoothly functioning building or neighborhood should never involve a compromise. A development site is not merely a location for construction. Design should be interwoven with the land rather than imposed on it.

Recognizing our profound responsibility in shaping the built environment, NQH encourages sophisticated green design for all of our projects in Vietnam and elsewhere. For each project, we carefully analyze the environmental opportunities and constraints specific to the site at hand. Our thorough, site-specific understanding of natural systems then guides the design process from concept to construction.

OUR COMMITMENT

With over 400 Projects in Vietnam alone, NQH's vast expertise and design experience is demonstrated by our varied projects

THE NQH DIFFERENCE

NQH has exposure to design and construction on a global scale. Partnering with design and sustainability experts worldwide, we insist on maintaining international standards for all our projects. At its best, design enriches people’s daily lives, strengthens the fabric of a community, generates opportunities for businesses and economies, and nurtures the local and global natural environment. Our team’s commitment to research and discussion, in synthesis with cutting-edge techniques and technologies, keeps us at the forefront of innovation. Our projects are carefully tailored to the demands and opportunities that each particular client, community, and ecology presents.

NQH is a full-service architecture firm offering complete architectural, urban, interior and landscape design. We also offer in-house MEP and Structure, and have extensive knowledge of the best local consultants for specific project needs.
