Gingko House是一家本地的知名社会企业，为老年人提供就业机会。然而，因为场地的租约问题，他们被迫搬迁其餐厅。Groundwork因此被邀请重新设计和命名全新的越南餐厅，该餐厅位于香港油麻地庙街一幢有60年历史的平安大楼内。 Gingko选择我们进行这项工作，不仅是因为我们过去成功的餐厅设计案例，还可能是因为我们对建筑的哲学和人文主义的态度。Gingko House的新餐厅是一家越南餐厅，名为“越南街”。在本项目中，我们希望向Alhambra大楼的历史致敬，同时感谢Gingko House长期帮助老年人。我们决定创造一个环境，让游客能够感受到20世纪60年代的西贡。

Gingko House is a local social enterprise, known for their work in providing employment opportunities for the elderly. However faced with lease problems they were forced to move their restaurant. Groundwork was thus invited to help redesign and rebrand their new Vietnamese restaurant located in a sixty year old building called Alhambra Building in Temple Street, Yau Ma Tei, Hong Kong. The Gingko had chosen us for the work not only because of our past successful restaurant design cases, but perhaps for our philosophy and humanistic approach towards architecture. Gingko House's new restaurant is a Vietnamese restaurant called “Viet-Street”. For this project we wish to honour the age of the Alhambra building, as well as acknowledge Gingko House's long history in helping the elders. We decided to create an environment where visitors are able to feel like they were transported to Saigon back in the 1960s.
