Office Interior Fit-out for ptt Food – Optimizing Space & Budget

The demand for office interior design & build is not only about completing a workspace but also about helping businesses optimize costs, improve operational efficiency, and reinforce brand identity. In Ho Chi Minh City, Dandelion always values the balance between aesthetics, functionality, and budget in every project.
The ptt Food office fit-out project by Dandelion is a prime example: with a floor area of only 153m² and a limited budget, our team still delivered a modern, youthful, and fully functional office space. This project proves that a turnkey office solution can both save costs and create a professional, inspiring workplace.
ptt Food (ptt Food & Beverage JSC), founded in 2018, operates in the F&B sector with natural beverages and the Top Up energy drink. Their new office, located at the UOA building in District 7, serves around 20 staff and 2 directors. While the site benefits from abundant natural light and dual open façades with wide views, it also presents challenges:
  • Narrow entrance, creating a cramped first impression.
  • Existing column grid divides the space and causes dead corners.
  • High functional demands: 2 director rooms, meeting room, storage – potentially reducing shared workspace.
