This unique office in Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam is definitely unique, aptly named Rock Office, the building is constructed using raw stone and has a playful minimalist appeal. Designed by a21 Studio, the building stands apart as a building that looks like it's a reconstructed ruin.
Rock Office was designed in order to provide a temporary, low-cost building that could stand on the site's soft ground. This is one office that I wouldn't mind walking into everyday for work.
