Founder, 717 architects
Giang Nguyen founded 717 Architects in 2016 with the goal of elevating Vietnam’s design landscape by combining the best of local knowledge with the professionalism and standards of the international architecture community. With nearly two decades of design experience, he has held roles from Team Leader at design consultancies to Director of an investor’s design department.
His portfolio spans shophouses, major hotels such as Park Hyatt Ho Chi Minh City, a steamboat, and Vietnam’s first international-standard mega-mall, Crescent. Giang combines a no-nonsense design mentality with a genuine passion for architecture, always seeking solutions that are both aesthetically compelling and technically sound.
At 717 Architects, the philosophy “Details shape the soul of design” drives every project. Beyond creating compelling renderings, Giang prioritizes efficiency, cost-effectiveness, and long-term maintainability. Every element, from master planning to architectural and interior details, is carefully considered to craft engaging narratives and meaningful spaces, ensuring that each detail tells a story and every project delivers lasting value.
