Saigon Spaces: Huy Nguyen's Home for Repurposed Vintage Treasures

Huy Nguyen’s lovingly restored colonial-era bolt-hole, tucked away above a hẻm off Nguyen Hue, is a masterclass in making the best use of small spaces. As the owner of Mountain Retreat restaurant, Nguyen has a little black book of contacts and suppliers that was invaluable throughout the place’s six-week renovation. The result is a living portfolio of his own personal aesthetic, combined with authentic and witty nods to Vietnam’s past. The 30-square-meter space is a concise illustration of Saigon’s aesthetic history.
