A screen of bamboo shelters diners at the Nhà Tú Garden Restaurant in Vietnam, which has been completed by architecture studio Long Nguyen Design.
Located in the city of Dong Nai, the restaurant stands on a stretch of green space that separates a residential area from a nearby industrial park.
Long Nguyen Design described its design for the restaurant as creating a "garden within a garden", with dining spaces organised around a lush courtyard at the building's centre.

"The project is strategically positioned between the industrial park and the residential area, serving as both a transition zone and a green focal point for the surroundings," the studio told Dezeen. "The culmination of this design is the central garden, which offers a serene atmosphere and promotes a sense of relaxation and healing," it added.
Entering via an arch-like opening in the restaurant's bamboo screen, the main dining space sits around a garden courtyard, which is open to the elements and surrounded by a glass wall incorporating sliding doors.

Between the glazed facade and the outer bamboo screen, a "buffer zone" of outdoor seating overlooks a narrow infinity pool on the building's northern edge.
To the south the kitchen sits alongside a VIP room, which has rotating glass doors to allow it to be easily reconfigured and subdivided.
