Sai Gon Cafe

The Saigon Coffee Shop project is a 3D design that captures the essence of a traditional Vietnamese coffee shop. Inspired by the vibrant streets of Saigon, the project showcases the distinctive atmosphere of local cafés, focusing on the cozy ambiance, detailed interior design, and cultural elements that define the space.

The project began with in-depth research into Saigon’s coffee culture, including the architectural styles and the rich textures that bring these coffee shops to life. I translated these findings into a detailed 3D environment using Blender, ensuring the space reflected the authentic feel of a local coffee shop. Special attention was given to lighting and materials, with an emphasis on natural light filtering through large windows and the warm, inviting textures of wooden furniture and tiled floors.

kitchen

This 3D kitchen design represents not just a practice in modeling, but a vision of my future. If I had my own house, I’d want this kind of kitchen—simple, warm, and made for slow mornings and late-night tea. I designed this space intentionally, blending cozy textures and functional layout into a modern aesthetic.

Created entirely in Blender, the kitchen features a U-shaped layout with dark wood cabinetry, creamy marble countertops, and a central island perfect for small gatherings or quiet meals. I included personal touches like a breakfast set, greenery by the window, and warm lighting to reflect the kind of atmosphere I’d want to come home to.

This project allowed me to explore material work, natural lighting, and realistic composition. There’s no animation, but the space tells a story through detail: the placement of every object, the softness of the shadows, the calm mood of early light coming through the arched window.

A Place of my own

This project was inspired by the architecture of resorts I've seen built in mountains, forests, and on land, but I wanted to imagine something different: a tranquil retreat under the sea. A Place of My Own is a 3D minimalist resort design set in an underwater landscape, intended to offer a peaceful escape and deep connection with nature. It's a personal dream space—quiet, calming, and completely detached from the noise of the city.

I drew inspiration from sea creatures to create soft, organic interior elements in calming pastels with subtle gold accents. The design features an outdoor bedroom with Greek columns and a lounge overlooking the ocean—perfect for enjoying sunrises and sunsets. The private bathroom, encased in glass and illuminated by jellyfish lighting, centers around a luxurious bathtub for relaxation. Inspired by my love of heights, a playful jellyfish-shaped Ferris wheel allows visitors to rotate above the sea floor and appreciate underwater beauty. I modeled the space in Blender, focusing on tools and textures. The biggest challenge was designing the jellyfish and finalizing the Ferris wheel; I tested various styles to find the best fit for my vision.

Seawheel Vase

This project draws inspiration from seaweed and the soft, flowing forms found in ceramic art. I was especially influenced by vases designed with evenly spaced, wing-like seaweed patterns that feel gentle and organic. As someone who loves the ocean, I’m fascinated by how seaweed appears rough but feels soft, almost like jelly. These vases are designed for coastal interiors or minimalist spaces and can be adapted in various colors; for this series, I chose soft nude tones for their natural, versatile aesthetic.

I started with basic geometry in Blender and used modifiers to shape each vase, refining them with smooth shading for a more polished look. Each vase design reflects different types of seaweed, varying in size, shape, and movement. I created three unique forms to showcase this variety, using subtle surface reflections to echo the natural interaction of seaweed under water.
