MIA Design Studio's Villa Tan Dinh was among the winners in the Residential Architecture - Single Family category. The architect team that built the 300-square-meter villa in Ho Chi Minh City's District 3 said the principal concept was "to create a living space that hovers above a mini-garden".

Instead of just arranging a few trees at the entrance or the stairways like in other townhouses, the architects wanted to create a large green space where homeowners can undertake all primary activities "connected by plants, water as well as natural light".

The architecture company also won in the Installations & Structures category for The Straw, a venue in HCMC's District 2.

In the Green Architecture category, the jury was impressed with A House In Hoi An designed by lequang-architects.

This structure in Cam Thanh village is not just a home for four people but also birds and insects. It has a community garden where vegetation is used as an educational tool for children and which grows clean vegetables. It also serves as a community center for the host, an environmental activist, to meet and socialize with people.

Tony Fruit Office in District 4 by TAA Design was also among the list of winners.
