PT Arch Studio envisions the architecture of The Chamitage’s facade to be familiar to the local people yet distinct enough to attract tourists. Therefore, the design direction combines the vernacular architecture of southern Vietnam with modernist architecture as the guiding principle for the project. 

The glass panels are neither too large, as in modern building, nor too small compared to the basic window frames of local houses, achieving a close yet visually open feel. The architectural columns are emphasized on façade, adding solidity to the overall structure and reflecting modernist architecture. 

Next, the Cham tower image is stylized into decorative light-catching motifs, echoing the shapes of tower entrances. These are combined with layered levels to represent the tower’s roof image at the building’s entrance canopy. Additionally, contrasting materials are used, such as modern terrazzo-patterned tiles, pastel orange painted on steel frames, warm wooden accents, orange ceramic tiles, and Bau Truc Pottery. Together, these elements create a harmonious overall design that blends comfortably with the surrounding architecture yet maintains its unique identity. 

With a relatively small plot of land, all interior spaces are essential. The ground floor is mainly dedicated to serving the counter, support areas, and the shop’s operations rather than seating. Behind the counter is a central spiral staircase designed to streamline movement, along with a skylight for this area. A mezzanine is harmoniously arranged to prevent a closed-in feel and to increase interaction between the ground floor and the first floor. Outdoor areas are included on all levels to provide a more diverse experience for users. 

The building is located near a lakeside, so PT Arch Studio will focus on maximizing the expansive view for the upper floor. At the same time, the roof will be extended further to create more shaded areas, reducing the amount of sunlight entering through the numerous glass panels.
