The first time you set foot in the 42 Nguyen Hue apartment building, visitors may be a little hesitant in front of the somewhat old, weathered appearance. Peeled walls, worn-out stone stairs or old elevators... all seem to tell a story about a time gone by. However, if the exterior is old, bearing historical traces of more than 60 years, then inside is a space decorated creatively, youthfully, with a contemporary art style. Walking along the corridors, visitors feel like they are lost in a "maze" of discovery with a series of shops, cafes, art studios... each small corner contains a story, a unique style.
