Gingko House是一家本地的知名社會企業，為老年人提供就業機會。然而，因為場地的租約問題，他們被迫搬遷其餐廳。Groundwork因此被邀請重新設計和命名全新的越南餐廳，該餐廳位于香港油麻地廟街一幢有60年歷史的平安大樓內。 Gingko選擇我們進行這項工作，不僅是因為我們過去成功的餐廳設計案例，還可能是因為我們對建筑的哲學和人文主義的態度。Gingko House的新餐廳是一家越南餐廳，名為“越南街”。在本項目中，我們希望向Alhambra大樓的歷史致敬，同時感謝Gingko House長期幫助老年人。我們決定創造一個環境，讓游客能夠感受到20世紀60年代的西貢。

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.
