About the Studio

Refining the
fabric of lifethrough space

We started in a small office in Ho Chi Minh in 2011. For 15 years, we've tuned Korean attention to detail to Vietnam's light, materials, and rhythm — building 320+ spaces along the way.

Our story

From a one-person workshop
to a full studio.

DESIGNGAGE_HOMES began in 2011 in an 8-pyeong (~27 m²) workspace in District 1, Ho Chi Minh. For the first three years we focused on apartment renovations for Korean families. We've since expanded to local Vietnamese clients and global projects — today the studio in Vinhomes Central Park houses designers, planners, site managers, and CS in one team.

We care most about what comes after the project ends. Free A/S in the first year, clients who come back five years later — these relationships are the biggest asset we've built.

Values

How we work

Design is a matter of taste, but how we work is a matter of promises. We keep these four.

01

Transparent estimates

Materials, labor, and management costs are listed separately. Any additional cost is agreed in writing before it happens.

02

Daily site reports

Throughout construction, we share daily photos, progress, and issues via KakaoTalk / Zalo. Comforting for clients who can't visit because of distance or time zones.

03

Local sourcing + Korean quality

We use Vietnamese sourcing to keep prices reasonable while applying Korean construction detail standards.

04

12 months free A/S

Free repairs for construction defects for 12 months after completion. Priority response afterwards.

What clients say after living in it

Notes from the 320+ projects we've delivered. (Real reviews — some names shown with permission.)

I worried about running it remotely from Korea, but the daily photo reports put me at ease. The level of detail was on par with Korean construction — that was the second surprise.

Jiyoung Park
Vinhomes Central Park · 130 m² Apartment

An orderly floor plan and finishing detail you rarely see from Vietnam-based designers. They thought about how the family actually moves through the space.

Nguyễn Thị Hoa
Thao Dien Villa · 220 m² Renovation

F&B work lives or dies by schedule and budget — they kept both promises. The design even considered operational flow, so the cafe runs more efficiently.
